If I’m going to take a guess, based on its color, I’m going to say it’s either Cookie Monster or Smurf-flavored. (Spotted by @ReneBarba89 at Walmart.)

I think it says apple flavored upside down at the bottom of the ingredient list…. hmmm
Yep. Candy apple flavor.
Titanium dioxide in the ingredients list sounds a little ominous…
If natural food coloring scares you, don’t look up carmine.
I picked up one of those packages & it had a Froot Loops scent coming through the plastic. Gross. If that’s candy apple, I’ll pass.
Dried glucose syrup! Mystery solved!
Smurf flavour?
When these don’t sell they will just put them in a new package that says “Unicorn Flavor” and they will fly off the shelves.
I’m a bakery/deli DM at Walmart and these stupid things are selling really well. I tried it. It smells like sour apple. Tastes like pure sugar. Probably appealing to kids/teens. Cheap $1.
