Ate so many of these I got sick of them.

I do not trust a fruit snack which Link has to deflect with his shield. They cannot possibly be good for him if that's his reaction!

I genuinely love how they made the fruit snack box art in the same aesthetic as the game box art, that's a cool touch! They did the same with the other Nintendo fruit snacks, which I'll be covering eventually. Also, Link seems to be actively repulsed by his own fruit snacks!

Link is a Gushers partisan through and through

There should be a feature in a future Zelda game where a potion turns Link's head into a giant piece of fruit

And it does nothing, it's only a cosmetic effect

To be fair, those designs are kind of repulsive! 😂

I remember eating these and they were not the best

I got to have a box of these once as a kid, I was wondering when they'd turn up here.

My first experience with limited time promotional candies that I ate once, assumed would be around forever, and never saw again!

I remember buying and eating these as a kid

jeffdudaphdco.bsky.social•5 days ago

No Triforce pieces???

No wonder the candy failed.

Aha, thank you for tagging! I'd seen the breakfast cereals but not these.

tccoyote.bsky.social•233 days ago

No prob :)

I vaguely remember these, probably had them back then, but I definitely remember the breakfast cereals better :)

bsbeamer.bsky.social•233 days ago

Now I want Nintendo Cereal System for breakfast! Ugh.

Oh wow I remember these! Super early childhood memory!

chewchews!

Maybe these are still a thing in Japan, but I figure if gummies and fruit snacks still came in modern Zelda shapes/colors like Korok, Sheikah Slate, Gloom Hand, Zonite, Bokoblin Head, etc. that would sell, right?

I'm probably just in a gaming bubble and they would NOT compared to Minion BANANA snax

CHILDHOOD!

When you opened these it made the secret discovery sound.

Oh I guess that was just in my head.

theeammon.bsky.social•233 days ago

I 100% remember these. Cherished each pack because I knew my mom wouldn’t buy me another box.
