General Mills' Fruit Gushers and Fruit by the Foot snacks are now being reinvented with Sweet & Fiery flavors that elevate the snacking experience. Both new snacks are free from artificial flavors and gelatin, with the new Sweet & Fiery Fruit by the Foot products offered in naturally flavored Fiery Peach and Spicy Watermelon and the Fruit Gushers offered in the same, plus an additional Hot Mango flavor.
From Sweet Heat Skittles and Starburst to Snickers' Fiery Hunger Bar, consumers are now being treated to spicy reimaginings of their favorite snacks as an alternative to previously introduced sweet or sour iterations.
On top of there being a growing desire from consumers for hot and spicy foods, there is also a heightened demand for greater nuance within the realm of familiar spicy flavors.
