Gushers Blueberry Grape / Sour Blue Raspberry

Never has a fruit snack made me feel so foolish, and I struggled through the fruit roll-ups pizza construction in the 90s. IDK if it's because I'm colorblind or what, but all the gushers in each package here are the same color blue. The box shows two distinct blue colors, but it does not translate to the real deal. So then what flavor(s) am I eating!? You'd think I could tell via "tasting", but I'm not sure. Some are definitely grape-y, and those I like less. Some are a sort of sour berry (blue raspberry, I suppose), and those are delicious. Is blueberry part of the grape ones and each of the two BlueberryGrape and SourRazz are in each package? Or are there Blueberry & Grape packs and Sour Razz packs?! Or is every gusher a mix of Blueberry, Grape, and Sour Razz? The more of them I eat, the less I know, because the non-sour ones don't all have the same "grape" note, so I don't think the BlueberryGrape flavor, if that is indeed a flavor, is stable. Even without the mystery, this is one of the best gushers I've had. Well, there aren't that many different ones, so it's probably the best. That's all due to the sour berry flavor, whereever it resides! Gush on! The only downside is that if I eat these at school, my mouth is blue.

Gushers Watermelon & Sour Apple

One of the best things about watching little kiddos is the snacks! But these snacks are a little bit gross. Whoopsie. The watermelon one tastes like watermelon, which is never my favorite flavor-of-thing, but is fine. The sour apple one is like, way too sour, especially for kiddos. It's got a bit of Plant-Potpourri vibe and also a bit of "scented plastic in some dirt" to go along with it. So, not great. The gusher form factor is still a win though. 

Gushers do remind me of one of my favorite stories, from Survivor player Cochran (first name "John") -- when he was calling in a food order one time they asked if they could get a name, and he said "uh, sure, John" and they thought he said "Usher John" aka the singer Usher and got very excited. This is a relatable tale that always makes me lol.

Gushers - Strawberry Splash

I'm pretty sure this is the inferior gushers flavor, compared to the tropical one. It's so samey -- each gushers is identical! But, still a tasty nostalgia snack. A little bit like cherry pie filling as far as flavor notes, which is a nice sweet treat.

Gushers - Tropical

I don't think I've had a Gusher since elementary school, but you know what, they hold up pretty well. Nut free as far as I know, and nice little packages of about 9 gushers, each chewy and sweet and fruity with distinct flavors. Who doesn't like Gushers? The only reason I don't get them more often is because they really have no nutritional value, but if I have 'em, I'll enjoy 'em.
