Shaquille O’Neal’s latest venture, ‘Shaq-alicious’ gummies, was launched by NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal at Walmart recently, and the streets of Doral were buzzing with excitement. The basketball legend brought his distinctive energy and charisma to the event, delighting fans of all ages while introducing his new line of confectionery treats.

Shaq’s innovative approach to the classic snack was inspired by his childhood in Germany when gummies were a regular treat. He has partnered with Hershey’s to bring it to the market.

“I grew up in Germany where we used to eat a lot of gummy and gummy bears,” O’Neal shared in a statement. “So when Hershey’s came to me with the idea, I said ‘Let’s try something that will taste Shaq-a-licious.'”

The ‘Shaq-alicious’ gummies come in two delicious flavors: original and sour. Both fans and shoppers were allowed to try the treats and interact with the legend, who was present to sign autographs and take photos.

“I’m the ambassador of fun,” Shaq declared, as stated by the Miami Herald.

“We are thrilled to launch Shaq-a-licious, our extra-large gummy line collaboration with Shaquille O’Neal,” said Michele Buck, CEO and Chairman of The Hershey Company. “Retailer interest and sell-in has been very strong and a variety of fun flavors and unique shapes will soon be hitting the shelves. The launch will be supported by a social-first approach focused on content and collaboration, leveraging Shaquille’s super-sized persona, ecosystem and following. In September, fans can visit a unique pop-up experience in New York City to celebrate the world’s biggest kid and his gummy launch.”

A Sweet Partnership

The combination of Shaq and Hershey’s is a perfect match.  ‘Shaq-alicious’ gummies are set to become a popular snack for kids and adults due to Shaq’s infectious personality and Hershey’s expertise in confectionery.
