Fruit Bursts
Fruit Bursts is a New Zealand confectionery produced by Pascall. As of March 2025, there are five flavours: banana; lemon and lime; orange; strawberry; and wildberry with peach being a former flavour.[1]
History
In the early 2010s, the peach flavour was discontinued which made many New Zealanders disappointed.[2][3] Due to this, a Facebook group named "Bring Back Peach Fruit Bursts" was formed in 2012, which has over 16,000 members as of March 2025.
In 2021, Pascall launched a new type of 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]
