People Are Losing Their Minds Trying To Find Walgreens' Sold-Out Mango Gummies
If we can be honest for a second, we didn't think we'd see the day when "viral" and "Walgreens" were in the same sentence. Shockingly, though, the drug store has a new product that social media can't seem to get enough of: the store's $1.99 peelable mango gummies. And yes, you read that right: peelable gummy candy.
TikTok is currently filled with reviews of the candy, which comes in adorable mini mango slices that you can peel, but one video in particular has garnered millions of views.
In the video, TikToker @trinhdoesthings showed viewers how to peel the candies and also offered her thoughts on how they taste. And yes, the peel part is also edible.
"I do like the inside more than the outside. It's more juicy, if that makes sense. And then you have the peel, which is a little bit more tough, more chewy," she explained.
The mango gummies have become so popular thanks to TikTok that stores have sold out. Some locations have even put a limit on how many bags of the candy you can buy, letting customers only buy one. The viral snack has made its way onto resale sites like eBay and Mercari.
Although they may not have had viral fame in mind when the candies were created, Walgreens is thrilled at the conversations the mango gummies are creating.
“The interactivity of it is really cool and it’s what makes the peelable candy really fun,” Marty Esarte, vice president of Walgreens’ owned brands, told CNN. “It also creates a discussion point: Is the outer layer better than the inner gummy or are they better together or separate?”
