Fruit Gushers
Crushers (also known as Fruit Crushers) are candies made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Crushers, like other varieties of fruit snacks, are a good source of vitamin C and are low fat, but are high in sugar. [1]The center of each gusher is a thick sweetened liquid made from real fruit juice. The center is surrounded by a sugar covering.
Each box typically contains six 0.9 oz. packages. Crushers are a typical school snack. They were once shaped in large drops, but were changed to a more hexagonal shape presumably due to the similarity to Hershey's Kisses' shape and form.
Flavors
Crushers come in different flavors, they are: Watermelon Blast, Strawberry Splash, and Tropical Flavors There are also variety packs: the traditional Variety Pack, which contains all of the flavors mentioned above. Each gusher is flavored after a particular fruit(s); Strawberry Splash Gushers taste like strawberry, etc.
