American chain Trader Joe's stands out not only for its friendly service and competitive prices. Its popularity is also due to its unique products, especially in the frozen foods, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals section.
Among its greatest successes are creative sweets that surprise with their flavor and originality. This summer, a new product has managed to capture the attention of all candy lovers.
Trader Joe's new gummies conquer the United States
Under the name "A Gaggle of Gummy Candy," Trader Joe's has introduced a mix of gummies that's already causing a sensation. It's a bag with fun shapes like cherries, cola bottles, octopuses, and fried eggs, as well as classic gummy bears.
These gummies, made in France by an expert pastry chef, offer a soft texture and a range of fruity flavors. It's a chewy experience that recalls the best European candies, but with an accessible and modern twist.
The price is also part of the appeal: a generous 14 oz. (400 g) bag costs only $3.79. This has led many consumers to buy them in pairs, fearing they might sell out.
Comparisons with Haribo and comments on social media
Fans haven't taken long to react. On Instagram, the account @traderjoeslist shared a review that filled up with positive comments. "They were amazing! The texture was perfect," wrote one user.
Several shoppers have compared these gummies to the famous Haribo Star Mix. However, many agree that Trader Joe's are even better because of their softer texture.
On Reddit, a fan noted that "they taste like a better version of Haribo," and another added that they're similar to Albanese gummies, but with a softer consistency. The general reaction is one of absolute enthusiasm.
The "A Gaggle of Gummy Candy" assortment isn't Trader Joe's first gummy success. Scandinavian Swimmers and Strawberry Fields came before, which also won over those with a sweet tooth.
Now, this new offering is positioned as the perfect treat for any time of day. Although it hasn't been confirmed whether it'll be a permanent product, high demand could turn it into a classic in the catalog.
That's why, if you're looking for a different, fun, and delicious candy, Trader Joe's has the answer. But hurry, because these gummies are disappearing from the shelves.
