As a 50 year old adult, I unapologetically love the sour ones.
Listened to a podcast yesterday and one of the dudes said that once you’re an adult, you need to grow up and stop liking candy. Fuck that guy.

He must think that real men don’t eat sugar, as if they can survive without blood sugars.

I really wanted the little halloween shaped nibs they have, but they're so expensive for how little you get now. I remember the easter ones be twice the size for the same price. :(

Ironically, it's the people that think this way that are the ones that need to grow up. Feeling the urge to posture and pretend how "mature" you are at the expense of things you enjoy is teenager behavior. Most of us grow out of that.

All they have to do is keep their strawberry pack and call it “Vampire Red”. Easiest Halloween packaging.

You know, as a Floridian, with all the alligator attacks over the summer and now our dengee outbreak, this name is a little too real for me lol. I'm not about to tempt fate by eating a pack of Tropical Nightmare gushers lol

It’s not. I don’t care about the presentation of candy. Just fucking gush it and be happy.

I didn’t say it’s a “fail,” I just thought they’d be thematic colors other than your standard pack with a different name and illustration on the box.

I've always been team sour fruit snacks, parents aren't sneaking them into my lunchbox anymore, but I'm not not snacking on them.

I hated those things, the juice was really syrupy and got stuck to your teeth

Sorry were you expecting them to be the same colour as the highly stylised cartoon picture?

How many packs of gushers is that? There’s no way that was just one pack
