Everyone knows the sweet, sticky hexagon-shaped snacks known as Fruit Gushers. In elementary school, heck even middle school, it was the best day every to come home and see the bright yellow box in the pantry. Well, the General Mills-owned snack just got a little spookier.
Earlier this week, General Mills announced that Fruit Gushers will have a new flavor and look for Halloween: Tropical Spooky Fruit. They will be black and orange and come in a box with 26 trick-or-treat sized pouches. Exciting, I know. But that’s just the beginning.
These Fruit Gushers will also have a ‘mascot,’ if you will. Each and every box of Tropical Spooky Fruit Fruit Gushers will contain two toys: the GushMonster and his side kick Count Batcula. The spooky duo will appear nationwide on posters in grocery stores and also appear in a series of TV spots. The spots will follow the two on their Halloween adventures and their quest to be the spookiest snack out there.
The two are said to have special Gusher powers, but they have yet to be revealed by General Mills. It looks like we will all have to wait in anticipation until the premiere of the TV spots to see GushMonster and Count Batcula in action.
