Fruit Gushers

Fruit gushers (occasionally just called Gushers) are hexagon-shaped snacks made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Gushers, like many other varieties of fruit snacks, are high in vitamin C and are low fat, but are high in sugar. The center of each gusher is a thick sweetened liquid made from fruit juice and concentrated pears, and is surrounded by a chewy gelatinous sugar covering. When one bites into the snack, the liquid inside gushes out, hence the name of the snack. Fruit Gushers was the major sponsor for the YTV game show Uh Oh! from 2001 until the series ended in 2003.

Gushers originally came in two flavors: Gushin' Grape and Strawberry Splash. Later, grape was discontinued.

Now there are also mood gushers.These mood gushers come in a fruit punch flavor with different colored fruit fillings. When one bites into a mood gusher, the colored goo colors their tongue. The person can then 'tell their mood' by looking at the back of the box and at the color of their tongue. There are also variety packs: the traditional Variety Pack, which contains all of the flavors mentioned above. The most recent addition to the Gusher family is the "Mystery Flavor." Stores such as Sams Club and Wal-Mart, plus associates, carry Gushers in bulk.
