"The buzz around blue Gushers is impossible to ignore. In the past year alone, mentions of 'blue Gushers' on social media have jumped more than 30%," said Stephanie Lensing, Brand Experience Manager for Gushers. "Fans have been asking for a box of all-blue Gushers for years, so when we saw how much love Sour Blue Raspberry was getting on TikTok, we knew this was the perfect moment to drop. This new variety wouldn't exist without the energy fans brought to every post, comment and share. We're really excited to bring their requests to life."
