Rotten's Gummy Cruncheez Deliver Unconventional Flavor & Texture
Laura McQuarrie — January 28, 2025 — Lifestyle
Messy Mandarin, Barfin' Blue Raz, Weirdo Watermelon, and Slobberin' Strawberry are just a handful of the unconventionally named flavors of Rotten's new Gummy Cruncheez.
Rotten's Gummy Cruncheez not only deliver not only the bold flavors and multi-sensorial experiences Gen Z and Gen Alpha crave but also offers a better-for-you alternative to other gummy clusters on the market. These chewy, crunchy gummy indulgences feature a mix of allulose and glucose syrup sweetened with chicory root and monk fruit—and like the gummy worms Rotten made a name for itself with, Gummy Cruncheez boast 60% less sugar than the leading brand.
With its offbeat flavors, unabashed approach to texture, bold branding and large-format shareable sizes, Rotten captures the interests of a new generation of snackers who want anything but run-of-the-mill experiences.
