Candyrific's Expressions Everyday Fans are Decorated with Emoji Characters

— January 10, 2018 — Life-Stages
Candyrific recently introduced its Expressions Everyday fans, which are filled with fruit-flavored pressed dextrose candy that is made with natural flavors and colors.

The emoji-style characters with names like 'Ay-OK' and 'Unicorn Poop' included on the candy packaging sport cheery smiles and give a thumbs up to consumers. When the button on the novelty candy packaging is pressed, the fan is triggered and releases a gust of air. The Expressions Everyday fans from Candyrific have the potential to keep upcoming days of the spring and summer seasons both cool and sweet.

Candyrific has released a range of fan-integrated candy packages in this style, including some that feature officially licensed pop culture characters that consumers will recognize from movies, comics and TV.
