Fruit Bursts
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
[edit]In the early 2010s the peach flavour was discontinued.[2][3] 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 as of September 2021[update]. 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.[2][4]
