Colourful, playful and bursting with fruit, FUNDAY Fruity Gummy Snakes put a clever modern spin on a nostalgic confectionery favourite. Each 50g pouch brings together passionfruit, blackcurrant and raspberry flavours in long, satisfyingly chewy gummies, made with no added sugar and enriched with plant-based prebiotic fibre. A vibrant little treat for enjoying solo, pairing with a favourite drink or slipping into a COVE 27 gift box.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Juicy and exuberantly fruity, these chewy gummy snakes weave together three distinctive flavours. Passionfruit brings tropical brightness and gentle tang, raspberry adds succulent red-berry sweetness, while blackcurrant delivers a darker, more concentrated fruit note. Soft, springy and satisfyingly chewy, the combination moves between sweet and lightly tart, leaving a clean, fruit-driven finish that makes another bite remarkably tempting.

Craftsmanship & Story
Founded in Australia in 2021, FUNDAY Natural Sweets set out to reinvent familiar confectionery favourites without losing the flavour, texture and sense of nostalgia that makes them so enjoyable. Its approach combines playful sweets with a more considered formulation, replacing the heavy added-sugar profile of conventional gummies with ingredients chosen for both flavour and function.
Fruity Gummy Snakes are a particularly colourful expression of that philosophy. Rather than settling for a single generic fruit flavour, FUNDAY combines tropical passionfruit with raspberry and deeper blackcurrant, creating three distinct flavour experiences within the pouch. Natural fruit and vegetable concentrates provide colour, while halal beef gelatine gives the snakes their familiar stretchy, satisfyingly chewy texture.
At the heart of the recipe are soluble tapioca fibre and chicory root fibre, complemented by stevia to balance sweetness without added sugar or sugar alcohols. The result retains the joyful character of the classic gummy snake while bringing it into FUNDAY's contemporary, better-for-you confectionery world.
Special Features
FUNDAY Fruity Gummy Snakes deliver the fun of classic confectionery with a markedly different nutritional profile. They contain 85% less sugar than comparable gummy snakes, with no added sugar and no sugar alcohols. Each 50g pouch also provides 7g of plant-based prebiotic fibre derived from tapioca and chicory root, while still retaining the springy, chewy texture that makes gummy snakes so satisfying.
The three-flavour combination is another point of difference. Passionfruit provides an exotic tropical lift, raspberry contributes juicy berry sweetness and blackcurrant adds richer, darker fruit character. FUNDAY uses natural flavours and colours including paprika and concentrates of red beet, carrot and cherry, rather than relying on artificial colours or flavours.
Certified gluten-free and carrying a 5 Health Star Rating, the snakes are presented in FUNDAY's compact, colourful 50g pouch. Their elongated shapes and vivid fruit character make them particularly effective in gifting, adding an unexpected touch of fun alongside premium gin, vodka, sparkling wine or other COVE 27 favourites.

Liquor Pairings
Passionfruit, blackcurrant and raspberry give these colourful snakes enough brightness and acidity to play beautifully alongside aromatic spirits and crisp, refreshing drinks.
-
Botanical Gin: Juniper, citrus peel and floral botanicals amplify the snakes' passionfruit and berry notes, creating a fragrant, fruit-driven pairing without burying their natural brightness.
-
Premium Vodka: Clean, silky vodka gives the three fruit flavours room to shine, particularly in a chilled serve or sparkling highball where freshness keeps the pairing crisp.
-
Champagne & Sparkling Wine: Fine bubbles and brisk acidity cut through the chewy texture while lifting raspberry, blackcurrant and tropical passionfruit into a lively, celebratory combination.
-
Light or White Rum: Rum's gentle cane sweetness and tropical personality naturally complement passionfruit, while raspberry and blackcurrant add a juicy berry counterpoint.
Enjoy them alongside a favourite glass, use them as a playful garnish, or add a pouch to a COVE 27 gift box for an unexpected burst of colour and fruity personality.
