Fruity Snakz

By: Emma Lu & Suma Bhiravarasa 

The question is always whether it is real or fake fruit, not whether it is flavorful. With Welch’s fruit snacks, you can have an answer to both. Welch’s fruit snacks are a staple in classrooms, kitchens, and vending machines across the country. With a firm outer coating and a gooey, juicy interior, these fruit snacks are the way to go. 

These snacks come in two main flavors: mixed fruit and berries n’ cherries. Mix em’ together, and you get a delicious, decadent bowl of tropical flavors. The shapes of these gummies are realistic, textured, and appealing to the eye, while the flavor is rich and, unlike their many competitors, Welches does not taste like medicine. 

The size of these gummies makes it impossible to feel guilty about overconsuming. With each packet containing a mere 10 to 13 grams of sugar, this snack is a healthier alternative to many other options available. Welches also only uses real fruit puree and fewer artificial ingredients, making it an even better option for those prioritizing health.
