The Summery Trader Joe's Gummies That May Be The Best Yet

One of the most exciting parts about going to the beach is the subsequent picnic on the sand. While you plan out and pack your canned cocktails and veggie sandwiches the night before, consider bringing along Trader Joe's new summery gummies for your next beach day getaway — it isn't a true beach picnic without a sugary snack or two, after all.

The Beach Day! Gummy Candy is Trader Joe's newest product launched this May, according to Reddit. The gummies are available for a limited time and bring the beach right into the palm of your hands. According to Trader Joe's website, each bag consists of "seaside-inspired" gummies, such as palm trees, starfish, conch shells, crabs, and sunglasses.

The gummies get their bright, summer colors from vegetable and fruit juice. Best of all, the gummies do not contain animal gelatin, which makes them vegetarian-friendly. Trader Joe's lists the candy as "Not available" at the time of writing, but some customers have already been able to get their hands on the product.

Trader Joe's colorful Beach Day! Gummy Candy has already made a splash at some locations across the country and has garnered warm responses from consumers. The overall consensus on Reddit has been positive, with one user calling the gummies "beautiful and delicious." Another commenter exclaimed, "These are the ABSOLUTE BEST Trader Joe's gummies."

Trader Joe's shoppers have been posting their thoughts on the seasonal candy on TikTok, as well. In a review, the gummies were given a rating of 8.5 out of 10 by TikTok user ConleyAnneKitchen. Another TikToker poked fun at the gummies' limited availability in a video showing them stocking up on several bags of the gummies before the grocery store chain discontinues the product. It's unclear how long Trader Joe's will sell the Beach Day! Gummy Candy. However, it may be hard for shoppers to buy just one bag of gummies as they are being sold for $1.99.

While Trader Joe's Beach Day! Gummy Candy has instantly become a fan-favorite among shoppers, those on a dairy-free diet are missing out on the fun as these particular gummies contain milk powder. But Trader Joe's carries other gummies that — for the most part — are completely vegan.

Most traditional gummy candies, including Haribo, are known to contain gelatin, which is made of animal bones and tendons. Although those on a plant-based diet may not be able to enjoy the Beach Day! Gummy Candy, there are several other beach-related gummies shoppers can add to their beach day picnic arsenal.

Trader Joe's Scandinavian Swimmers are fruity gummies that resemble sea animals like seahorses, dolphins, lobsters, and rockfish. They are a fan-favorite among shoppers, with one person warning others "DO NOT try them. You will get addicted like me and want them every day of the week," on Reddit. Craving sour candy? Trader Joe's sells sour versions of Scandinavian Swimmers, as well. The Tangy Turtles gummy candies are also a favorite among Trader Joe's shoppers. Described as "tart and sweet," the turtle-shaped gummies come in lemon, black currant, apple, blueberry, cherry, and passion-peach. So what gummy will you grab this summer?
