NERDS Released Two New Gummy Clusters Flavors for Football Season

— September 18, 2024 — Lifestyle
NERDS has introduced two new limited-time flavors to its Gummy Clusters lineup: Grape Strawberry Blitz and Berry Punch Rush. The Grape Strawberry Blitz flavor combines the classic taste of grape and strawberry, which has been a staple in NERDS’ dual chamber boxes, now available in a gummy cluster format. This flavor aims to provide a multisensorial experience with its blend of crunchy and gummy textures. The Berry Punch Rush flavor, on the other hand, offers a new combination of raspberry, cherry, and punch, designed to deliver a refreshing and exciting taste. Both flavors are available nationwide in various pack sizes, catering to different consumer preferences.

These new flavors are part of NERDS’ celebration of the football season, featuring packaging that includes NERDS characters in football gear. The launch is accompanied by a promotional campaign encouraging fans to choose between the two “rival” flavors, enhancing the game day experience. According to Joey Rath, NERDS Brand Director, the introduction of these flavors responds to consumer demand and aims to elevate the brand’s presence in popular culture. The Grape Strawberry Blitz and Berry Punch Rush flavors are available for a limited time, making them a seasonal treat for fans.
