HI-CHEW's Blue Raspberry Stick is the first introduction to the brand's classic stick format since Sweet & Sour Watermelon in 2020, and it shares the fruit-forward, double-layer experience fans of the brand crave.
Beloved for its bold, tangy sweetness, electrifying color, and a fun, slightly mysterious twist on classic fruity tastes, Blue Raspberry is a flavor that's especially popular with a new generation of candy lovers. According to a 2021 Neilson survey conducted on behalf of HI-CHEW, Blue Raspberry ranks as a top choice among Gen-Z and Millennial consumers. As a result, Blue Raspberry was included in HI-CHEW's Fantasy Mix with Blue Hawaii and Rainbow Sherbet. This nostalgic, fantasy-like flavor can now be savored on its own and is especially easy to sample and share on the go.
