Haribo – Happy Grapes

Sour Patch Kids – Snapple Fruit Flavour Mix
I loved Snapple growing up, from their fancy bottles to the little tidbits and facts they had under each bottle cap. So much so that I found an ancient bottle cap from an old bottle…

Mochido – Grape Donut Gummies
UHA is a pretty big brand when it comes to the snack scene. They are mostly known for sweets, and more specifically I know them for gummies and chewy candies like Puccho. While I would…
