Fizzbears — Sour That Pops

A high-energy candy brand built around bold visuals, explosive flavor cues, and tactile sensory design.
Fizzbears transforms sour gummies into a playful, immersive experience where flavor feels alive.

High-contrast outlines for impact

Lime (sour cue)
Blue + orange (flavor differentiation)
