The final Big Game spot starred a new character known as NERDS Gummy. The Gummy is completely covered in NERDS, thus allowing audiences to better understand what goes into creating NERDS Gummy Cluster candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NERDS Gummy Clusters | Gummy Monster | :30s\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u73x3WVhQGE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, you\u2019ve probably seen an ad for NERDS Gummy Clusters before a movie, during a commercial break on TV, or as an ad on YouTube. But unless you\u2019re a serious candy trivia connoisseur, odds are pretty good you don\u2019t know much about who the NERDS are \u2014 and maybe even less about the NERDS Gummy character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/nerds_commercial_2024.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s introduce you to these icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>All About The NERDS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NERDS Gummy Clusters | Roll Bounce\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sJZznL3usB8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you feel like you\u2019ve always grown up alongside the NERDS, you might be right about that. The candy was first introduced in 1983 in loveable purple, pink, orange and red NERDS characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Nerd-Character-Yellow.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 1985, NERDS had exploded in popularity. Over 250 million boxes of the candy had been sold just two years after their introduction. In the years to come, more characters in new colors joined the lineup. Blue, green, and yellow characters were added to the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NERDS candy has also innovated since its debut. Some of the most memorable introductions include the crunchy and chewy NERDS Ropes, which debuted in 2001 and NERDS Gummy Clusters. The Gummy Clusters launched in 2020 as a new poppable treat with equal parts gummy and crunchy in every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>All About The NERDS Gummy<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Nerds-Gummy.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as new characters go, the NERDS Gummy only just made its introduction during Super Bowl 58 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NERDS Gummy is described as an endearing figure. The Gummy is a companion to its fellow NERDS characters while serving as a contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/popicon.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Red-Nerd.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even though the NERDS Gummy was at the forefront of the Big Game spot, vigilant viewers, and candy enthusiasts alike, may have noticed the commercial did more than unveil a new NERDS character to the world. It also revealed the NERDS characters received noticeable redesigns, taking them out of 2D and into 3D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NERDS Gummy Clusters | Tightrope :06s\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/horBWer88DI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now when you watch a NERDS commercial, you\u2019ll notice more than the massive, grinning NERDS Gummy. You\u2019ll get a closer look at the NERDS themselves with their larger-than-life personalities, expressions, and playfulness all while keeping to their essence inspired by the original, tiny NERDS candies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Image credits: NERDS and Ferrara Candy Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the Author<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Taylor is the senior writer and editor-in-chief of PopIcon, Advertising Week\u2019s blog about brand mascots.
