G Force Gushers!

Sheet, yo. It's the G Force Gushers, funked out with a gangsta twist.

Our vices grow lamer and less designer as we grow older; for me, it's become Gushers. Fruit snacks with gooey fruit sap inside. Freshen-Up gum without the gum. Good stuff, and has been for a long time. Notable for its advertising campaign featuring kids so empowered by Gushers snacks that their heads morph into oversized pieces of fruit, I've often looked to Gushers in my hour of need. They represent "feel good food." They look like little pricey jewels, but they're edible, and that makes you feel good. And now, they've taught me that the concept of "G Force" is visually represented by a pus-filled Staryu.

I'd put off trying the no-longer-so-new G Force Gushers sheerly out of loyalty to the originals, but I was high on crack while food shopping last night and decided, "what the hizzy?" Packaged in a box with weird art that's fairly absurd for a fruit snack brand, G Force Gushers are basically jumbo-sized regular Gushers, only this time, they're shaped like ninja stars. A bigger seller point comes by way of G Force Gusher's larger amount of inner fruit goo, which has a more watery consistency than the originals, is more vibrantly colored, and if you squeeze one of the candies, provides a sight undeniably akin to watching some fat ox pop an unripe boil on his forehead. Proof:

Gross as it looks, it still tastes neato. Like a piece of Starburst taking a messy shit down your throat.

Screw that Gushers nonsense. DISNEY PART 2!!

Chestnuts roasted by Kev @ 06/14/2006 11:29 PM


But Disney Part 2 is mainly about Gushers anyway.

Man, when I saw the G-Force label, I thought we were gonna get at least some reference to the old cartoon…

The first thing I thought when I saw that box was that the orange one was a ninja star with blood trailing behind it. It is, right?
The blue one looks like a hunk of squeezy, metallicized plastic that’s sick – like something from Flight of the Navigator.

I saw ‘em the other day on my lunch break, passed ‘em up for some Cocoa Booty. That’s not a euphemism.

Man, I saw the second picture before anything else, and thought that it was gonna be about some sort of new slime toy.

Matt, your creative similes never cease to amaze me…

Those are pretty good, but nothing rocks like the Sour/Passion Fruit Gushers variety box. I’m glad some of y’all still like these fruit snacks, though. Most of my friends now say they taste like medicine.

Is it just me or does that blue one look like a toy from Nickelodeon’s heyday?

You know what? It kinda does!

I LOVE fruit snacks, especially Gushers. I got nothing else to say about this topic.

Since I told everyone about the Darkside/Monsters on Youtube, I might as well inform you that alot of episodes of "Are You Afraid of the Dark" are on there also.

Ever since I moved out last summer I have been pretty good about not playing junk food at all — but now, those aspirations have been dashed, as after seeing that gooey glory I will be hitting the local market tomorrow and getting my "gush" on.

Thats why Matt makes the big bucks. His writing is funny as hell. You know how the dumbest shit is funny when you’re drunk? Matt can take that humor and make it funny when you are sober.

Ugh. That just looks so nasty wrong. I like fruit snacks but the "gush" gets me.
I’m dumb and don’t know what a ft ox is. I tried to googlefu it and ended up http://www.toy2r.com/index.html">here. Am I on the right track?

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/15/2006 1:45 AM


My sentiments exactly Raysak. However, if the G-Force gushers don’t come in bags that have the consistency of a thin sheet of foil fused with a sheet of computer paper, i’m not touching em. Call me crazy but gushers features the most satisfyingly rip able pouches.

The big question is, do I have any Practhett beeyotches? Click my name. Go on.

Sometimes I’m glad I live in a country that is slowly falling apart due to lack of maintenance. Then I don’t have to eat sweets made from octopus eyes and squid guts. Yum yum! Pass the Cadbury dream mousse, would you? :D

How do you get those really interesting smileys? The crazy one especially? and the grey hockey mask, of course. They say evil chucky was based on a true story. In Germany, but anyhow. O^o

I won a settlement from Gushers after my head became a watermelon. A cool half-million….but it doesn’t change the fact that no woman would want me now.

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 06/15/2006 4:15 AM


The interesting smiles are from when Matt changed the normal smileys around halloween, and never changed them back. off hand, I know that…

Remove the spaces, of course.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 06/15/2006 4:24 AM


Gotta be honest with you… I love regular Gushers, but wasn’t too impressed with the G-Force aside from squishing them between my fingers. Too much gummi, not enough gooey innerds.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 06/15/2006 7:25 AM


I bought those gushers last week because I’m a chocoholic…Now wait, that doesn’t make sense…

Chestnuts roasted by TC Falcon @ 06/15/2006 8:05 AM


The new gushers make me sad. Fruit snacks are an inherently happy food. How have we reached this point? How have we gone from a kindly old tree handing out artificial sugar-raisins to shiruken-shaped confections in a flavor called "Tropical Rage?" My theory is that corporate America has bought into Jack Thompson’s "Manchurian Children" line, and they’re attempting to placate their new vidyagame-playing overlords with violent candies so they’re not the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 06/15/2006 8:36 AM


MMMmmmm… Freshen-up. I used to sneak into my mother’s purse and steal those.

Now you have to live in a state of constent terror, because you never know where Gallagher might pop up.

Chestnuts roasted by Deuce @ 06/15/2006 9:52 AM


I never had any kind of fruit snacks when I was younger, we was poooooo. Gotta say tho when I tried them as an adult………. Don’t see what the big deal is……
