Don’t get confused! You might think that Del Monte has already released this new product, but it’s actually a twist on one of their fan favorites. This new snack is called the Bubble Fruit Gel, a fun and creative take on the brand’s previous Bubble Fruit Cups in Juice, taking the bubbly snacking experience to a new level.
The Bubble Fruit Gel combines the fun texture of popping boba with refreshing Del Monte fruit suspended in bouncy gel, offering a delightful and sensory-satisfying snack that you can take on-the-go. It comes in Apple Watermelon, Peach Strawberry, and Pineapple Tropical Fruit. Fans of the Bubble Fruit in Juice can get this new treat at major retailers nationwide.
Del Monte’s Rise to Global Recognition
Del Monte was originally founded in 1886 as the California Fruit Canners Association, which was an agricultural cooperative comprised of eleven canneries. In the early 20th century, the brand grew in reputation as a provider of high-quality canned produce, eventually adopting the name “Del Monte” for their premium line of fruits. Today, the brand continues to grow, merging with other companies and expanding its product offerings. Now, Del Monte Foods, Inc. not only includes canned fruits and vegetables but also ready-to-eat meals and beverages, which speaks to the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation. This has led Del Monte to establish a global presence, providing nutritious snack and meal options to millions around the world.

What Fans Are Saying
Online conversations over on social media surrounding this new version of Del Monte’s fruit snack are a mix of excitement and confusion, with most mistaking the new Bubble Fruit Get for the previous Bubble Fruit in Juice that many enjoy and rave about.
Some have also shared their predictions of how the texture of gel might compare to juice, saying that the gel might take away from the texture of the popping boba. Nevertheless, even with fans’ concerns about how the gel component of the snack might deliver a different sensory experience, their theorizing comments are still followed by a keenness to try the Bubble Fruit in Gel as a new snack offer from Del Monte.
Del Monte’s Bubble Fruit Twist
Del Monte’s release of the Bubble Fruit Gel is the brand’s latest addition to their Bubble Fruit line that features popping boba, which is commonly had in bubble milk teas. The combination of popping boba with fruit in juice has provided a fun and textured snacking experience to traditional fruit cups that appealed to both children and adults. The new Bubble Fruit Gel, offers the same popping boba and sweet fruit in a conveniently portioned cup. Only now, it’s suspended in a “wiggly jiggly gel,” presenting a unique, mess-free snacking experience for on-the-go snackers.
Popping boba are fun little spheres that have juice or syrup inside that gushes out upon biting. The brand’s Bubble Fruit cup line takes this gushing action as a fun spin on their regular fruit cup snacks to give consumers a delightful “burst” of flavor while snacking healthily. This is in response to a growing consumer trend favoring products that combine fun with nutritional benefits, which seems to be Del Monte’s goal with this new release.
Del Monte’s Bubble Fruit Gel comes in Apple Watermelon, Peach Strawberry, and Pineapple Tropical Fruit. Fans keen on trying this new treat can pick up a pack (or two) up at major stores that carry the brand.

From The Club
I have to agree with fans, the Bubble Fruit Cups in Juice are really good. And I do love fruity jelly snacks, so I’m curious to see how the texture on this new Bubble Fruit Gel will be like considering it has fruit and boba in it and not just regular jelly. Here’s to hoping it’ll be another snack favorite!
