The Hershey Company introduced Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS ? a multi-textural gummy candy by Shaquille O'Neal and The Hershey Company, now available at retailers nationwide. Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS features three sweet, crunchy gummy balls in watermelon, strawberry and orange flavors and a chewy, sour mango ring, celebrating Shaquille's love of slam dunks, hoops and big kid energy.

Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS offers a playful, multisensory experience.

Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS builds on the success of the Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies line in a dynamic, new format.

SLAMS debuts a stacked, texture-first design that invites fans to discover fresh, playful ways to enjoy their candy. The Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies lineup also includes Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies Original: Gummies shaped like Shaquille's face in vibrant blue and purple packaging, featuring peach, berry punch and orange flavors; Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies Sour: A tangy trio of shapes and flavors inspired by Shaquille's legendary nicknames ? Diesel, The Big Cactus and The Big Shamrock ?

in pineapple, mixed berry and watermelon flavors; Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies in sneaker shapes: Sneakers molded after the iconic SHAQ sneaker in bold mango (orange), lime (green) and strawberry (red) flavors. Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies launched nationwide in 2024 in partnership with The Hershey Company, becoming its #1 sweets launch of the year. The line began with Original gummies shaped like Shaquille's face and Sours featuring his legendary nicknames, Diesel, The Big Cactus, and the Big Shamrock, then expanded in 2025 with sneaker-shaped gummies inspired by his iconic SHAQ footwear.

New for 2026 at retailers nationwide, Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS delivers a multi-sensorial XL experience with bright, crunchy gummy flavor balls and a chewy, sour mango ring. Fans can stack it, slam it and snack it, just like the Big Man himself.
