"What a year it has been for the NERDS Gummy Clusters brand. The candy has been everywhere in consumers' cultural zeitgeist," says Joey Rath, Nerds brand director, Ferrara. "We have seen social media conversations asking if there will be new flavors, from everyday consumers to professional athletes, influencers, and more. We answered the call and couldn't be more excited to bring to life these new limited-time flavors. You can be the ultimate champion of the season if you bring Nerds Gummy Clusters to your next game day watch party."

The new Nerds Gummy Clusters candy take on a play into the world of football with "rival" flavors, featuring an all-star flavor up against a rookie flavor. Grape Strawberry Blitz honors the original flavor combination Nerds candy is known for in its classic dual chamber box, taking fans on a multisensorial experience now available in Gummy Clusters. Its "rival" rookie flavor—Berry Punch Rush—features a new raspberry, cherry, and punch flavor combination.
