A new products having all the trending keywords of this year were launched at GS25 exclusively. This product is a sweet mango-flavored jelly🥭 that is freeze-dried to add a crispy texture. The product has a crispy texture on the outside and a sweet and soft mango-flavored filling inside🍹. The price is a bit steep at 1,500 won for one (9 grams), but considering freeze-dried jelly has been very popular lately, it seems like a confident price point.

1️⃣0️⃣ [SPECIAL] SWEDISH GUMMIES BOOM IN KOREA

 

Sorry. I'm doing fine despite the declaration of martial law.
This week's special issue is all about the Swedish Gummy or Swedish Candy \
that is taking Korea by storm.

첨부 이미지

It's definitely a trendy dessert, but few people have actually tried it. This is because it's not easy to find in Korea, and most importantly, it's quite expensive. The price is over 30,000 won for 500 grams, and the shipping cost is about 19,900 won overseas... It's really a 'gold' jelly.

 

첨부 이미지

In a Swedish candy store, you can pick and choose as many jellies as you want. It's similar to the pick-and-mix shops at amusement parks and shopping malls, but it's the Swedish jelly brand Bubs that has been making waves. The reason why this ordinary-looking jelly has become so popular is because of its unique texture. Unlike other jellies, it has become famous for its chewy texture that doesn't stick to your teeth but rather drips off. It is also recognized as a relatively “healthy jelly” because it is 100% vegan, free of gelatin, animal additives, palm oil, and gluten.

첨부 이미지

The clay-like, stretchy texture is the most distinctive feature of this jelly. You might think that it would be a hard, tooth-sinking jelly that you'd have to use a lot of strength to break off with your hands, but it's not that hard. It's more like the texture of a slightly chewy and firm maizu, but it's softer than sweet and sour. It's been trending with a strange texture that looks like a mixture of jelly and marshmallow, but my first impression was... chewing on a chewy eraser? It's more like a mixture of caramel and gum than marshmallow.

The flavors vary. The oval pink jelly is pomegranate & strawberry flavored. The white powder on the outside is from another jelly, and it's actually a sweet jelly with no powder. It doesn't have a strong strawberry flavor, but rather a subtle sour berry flavor. Berry caramel flavor that doesn't stick to teeth very well.

첨부 이미지

GS25 has selected the most famous brands in the industry and plans to exclusively sell the original Swedish fish jelly from the 96-year-old Red Band, the No. 1 brand in Sweden, in October. The product is a fish-shaped, chewy textured jelly sold around the world and is available in retail stores through direct sales for around KRW 5,000, but GS25 will sell it for KRW 3,500 to make it more accessible to customers.
