Walgreens limits purchases of a viral candy product

Walgreens has become the latest victim of TikTok. A candy product that’s only exclusive to the pharmacy’s shelves has gone viral on the platform, causing the Walgreens Boots Alliance  (WBA)  company to make a drastic decision.

Walgreens’ "Gummy Mango" peelable candy is probably on the path of becoming the new Stanley cup. The candy, which is produced by Walgreens’ brand Nice and sells for $1.99 a bag, is now widely unavailable across the country, thanks to TikTok. Walgreens has even limited online purchases of the product to one bag per customer.

For the past few months, the amount of users on TikTok reviewing the candy has skyrocketed in numbers. The gummies are unusual in the sense that they have an edible stretchy outer layer that can be peeled to reveal an inside that users have described as “soft” and “juicy.” Many users on TikTok have also claimed that the gummy is “fun” to peel, further earning their stamp of approval.
