Description

The Jujyfruits shapes are Pineapple, Tomato, Raspberry, Grape Bundle, Asparagus Bundle, Banana, and Pea Pod. The banana shape is stamped with "HEIDE." Fruity flavors include raspberry (red), licorice (black), lime (green), orange (orange), and lemon (yellow). The candies are firm and harden with age or when chilled. A sour variety is also available.

In January 1999, Hershey (parent company at the time) changed the Jujyfruits flavor lineup in response to a customer survey that found mint was not a popular flavor. Mint was dropped and replaced with lime.

Ingredients
