Not only do the candies come in a unique wearable format, but they also feature pop culture-inspired touches that are likely to appeal to Gen Z consumers. The new Ring Pop Gummies Chains is an extension of the brand's original Ring Pop brand. Each package includes a [gummy bracelet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-bands) that can be decorated with edible charms. There are eight charms to choose from and each one comes in a different [emoji-inspired shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bebeto-freeze-crunchy) such hearts, four-leaf clovers and smiley faces. The inclusion of different charms gives consumers the ability to personalize the product based on their favorite icons and favors.
