About
As of 2026, it's 35 years old.
Fruit Gushers are chewy fruit snacks with a liquid center that erupts when you bite down, and the ads asked the only question that mattered: what would it feel like if your head became a giant fruit? (Surreal. The answer was surreal.)
Launched in 1991, the burst of fruity goo made them an instant lunchbox sensation and the rare snack with a built-in special effect.
Sweet, juicy, and faintly explosive, Gushers is the fruit snack that turned a simple bite into a tiny, satisfying eruption.
