Fruit Gushers Fruit Gushers (occasionally just called Gushers) are candies in the shape of elongated hexagonal bipyramids; made primarily from sugar and fruit juice, with small amounts of other ingredients. Introduced in 1991, they are produced by General Mills under the Betty Crocker brand name, and may be found in generic forms as well. The center of each gusher is a thick sweet liquid, and is surrounded by a chewy gelatinous sugar covering. When one bites into the snack, the liquid inside "gushes" out, hence the name of the snack. Fruit Gushers was the major sponsor for the YTV game show "Uh Oh!" from 2001 until the series ended in 2003.

Thus empowered, the sailor makes short work of the villain.

Fruitopia Fruitopia is a fruit-flavoured drink introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in 1994 and targeted at teens and young adults. According to "New York Times" business reports, it was invented as part of a push by Coca-Cola to capitalize on the success of Snapple and other flavored tea drinks. The brand gained substantial hype in the mid-1990s before enduring lagging sales by decade's end. While still available in Canada and in Australia as a juice brand, in 2003, Fruitopia was phased out in most of the United States where it had struggled for several years. However, select flavors have since been revamped under Coca-Cola's successful Minute Maid brand. Use of the Fruitopia brand name continues through various beverages in numerous countries, including some McDonald's restaurant locations in the United States carrying the drink still to this day.
