Step into the colorful world of Gushers as the beloved fruit snack brand makes its debut in the candy aisle. Fans of Gushers will be delighted to know that the brand is not only releasing an all-blue flavor mix but is also introducing two new exciting varieties: Gushers Super Sour and Gushers Sweet & Fiery.
The decision to venture into the candy category comes as Gushers taps into the current trend of super sour, spicy, and swicy flavors. According to Ryan Eick, business unit director for Fruit Snacks at General Mills, Gushers aims to provide fans with bold and exciting flavors that they can experiment with. The brand seeks to offer a playful and fun snacking experience for those looking to push their taste buds to new limits.
Gushers Super Sour and Sweet & Fiery are designed to ignite the taste buds and create buzz on social media. These flavor-packed treats are made without colors from artificial sources, adding a touch of natural goodness to the vibrant mix of flavors. The Super Sour variety includes blueberry grape, mixed berry, and raspberry lemonade flavors, while the Sweet & Fiery option combines hot mango and spicy watermelon flavors with Gushers’ signature juicy center.
Available in Target stores nationwide, these new Gushers flavors are already making waves among fans. Those who have tried the Sweet & Fiery version have described it as “so so so hot,” adding to the excitement surrounding Gushers’ candy aisle debut.
In addition to the candy aisle expansion, Gushers is also launching a new Lemonade Mix fruit snack inspired by the classic summer beverage. The mix features pink lemonade, limeade, blue raspberry lemonade, and cherry limeade flavors, offering a tangy-sweet burst of refreshment in every bite.
General Mills is not stopping there, as the brand is set to introduce new flavors of two other childhood favorites this summer: Fruit by the Foot Splitz and Fruit Roll-Ups Rainbow Sherbet. The Peach and Blueberry flavors of Fruit by the Foot Splitz allow fans to twist, mix, or enjoy each flavor individually for a customizable snack experience. On the other hand, the Rainbow Sherbet flavor of Fruit Roll-Ups combines raspberry, lemon, and orange creamsicle flavors in a mouthwatering roll inspired by the frozen treat.
With Gushers leading the way into the candy aisle and General Mills expanding its lineup of nostalgic snacks, it’s clear that bold flavors and playful experimentation are at the forefront of the snacking industry. As fans eagerly anticipate trying these new treats, one thing is certain: Gushers is bringing a burst of excitement to the world of snacks.
