Fruit Gushers are a Betty Crocker-branded fruit snack introduced in 1991 and rated highly as of 2013[update].
Introduced in 1991, Fruit Gushers (sometimes simply Gushers)[1] are a fruit snack from the Betty Crocker brand.[2] Targeted at children, Gushers were acorn-shaped with a soft "licorice-like" exterior and a liquid inside, included "strawberries and pear puree concentrate", and came in two flavors: "Strawberry Splash" and "Gushin' Grape". A contemoorary Sun-Sentinel review said that the insides oozed rather than gushed, and found the confectionary surprisingly pleasant. Each box of Fruit Gushers was list priced at US$2.19 (equivalent to $4.9 in 2023) and contained six pouches of Gushers, each of which had nine individual pieces for 90 calories (380 kJ) per pouch.[1]
In 2013, Complex magazine ranked Fruit Gushers the second-best fruit snack of all time, coming in behind another Betty Crocker product, Shark Bites.[2]
Betty Crocker released a new variety of Fruit Gushers in early 2020: "Galactic Fruit Gushers". These featured the flavors "Asteroid Apple", "Berry Star Cluster", and a mystery flavor labeled "Unidentified Flavored Object"; the latter was part of a contest where consumers could guess at the unknown flavor and win prizes "like sweatshirts, hats, blankets, pop sockets, and more". Galactic Fruit Gushers were sold through Walmart.com for $5.88 (equivalent to $6.92 in 2023).[3]
