Fruit Bursts Explained

Fruit Bursts is a New Zealand confectionery produced by Pascall. The current flavours are banana, lemon and lime, orange, strawberry, and wildberry.[1] Peach was previously a flavour.

History

In the early 2010s the peach flavour was discontinued.[2] This upset a lot of New Zealanders, which caused a Facebook group, Bring back peach Fruit Bursts, to be created in 2012, which has 12,000 members . In 2021, Pascall launched a new lolly inspired by the flavour: Pascall Peach Flavour Lumps, a variation of Pineapple Lumps. This followed several other combinations Pascall had done with Pineapple Lumps, such as L&P and Pascall Milkshakes.[3] [4]
