    It’s rare that a brand can reinvent the freezer ai It’s rare that a brand can reinvent the freezer aisle indulgence, but I think this one has.

The folks at @FruitRiot have been quite generous to always include me in their new flavor roll-outs and their most recent is none other than a nostalgia-powered SunnyD edition!! 

Fruit Riot is a such a unique product on the market: real frozen fruit, costed in sour (or sweet or crunchy) coatings - it’s like nothing I’ve ever had before and that’s a very tough bar to hit. So it’s a product that absolutely needs to be experienced to truly understand. 

The need for it to be frozen is a notch against its convenience as it doesn’t travel super-long outside of that environment. So think of this like you would any home frozen treat, unless you’re bringing your mobile freeze situation on the road!

Due to its unique niche in the market, I’m grateful it’s found the footing to keep expanding and keep innovating. This video represents all of the flavors I’ve been able to sample and experience so far. 

If you’re curious as to my faves, it’s gotta be the Crunchy Candy Grapes and the SpongeBob Sour Pineapple! 

Hooray for innovation!!!
