Common flavors include fruit varieties (strawberry, cherry, lemon, blueberry, grape, etc.), novelty sweet‑confection flavors (buttered popcorn, cotton candy, caramel corn), and spicy cinnamon varieties; many mixes emphasize sweet‑tart fruit notes.
At least some listings state the product is not heat‑sensitive and “will not melt in the sun,” indicating suitability for outdoor party favors and candy buffets.
Some assortments list a per‑bean calorie amount of 4 calories.
