Double Dipped Lemonade-Wild Cherry and Apple-Watermelon (red and yellow).Wild Cherry and Watermelon (orange or red and green).A Nerds breakfast cereal based on the concept appeared in the 1980s with two varieties (Orange and Cherry/Grape and Strawberry), but it had a short lifespan.Īlthough many other flavors are available, some of the current regular flavors of Nerds include the following: Nerds consist of various flavors and colors, ranging from extremely sweet to extremely sour often, the two flavors in one box will contrast, and a single flavor may even exhibit both extremes. According to Rob Bricken, "A squishier Nerd with more leg space and a surprise in the middle, Dweebs were more substantial, less sour, and displayed a greater depth and complexity than Nerds." Dweebs only lasted a very short time on the market, however. One of the most popular differences is that Dweebs contained three flavors instead of two, though the United Kingdom had a box of Nerds with three flavors for a limited time. Dweebs were very similar to Nerds but they were less sour and bigger in size. Nerds also had a close cousin in the '80s- Dweebs.
Nerds were a popular candy in the 1980s, but they had big competitors, including Pop Rocks, Candy Buttons, and Mike and Ike. (One serving of Nerds is equivalent to 60 calories, mostly from carbohydrates, with little fat or protein.) The Halloween hand-out size is typically 15 grams (0.53 oz), and the larger boxes contain 141.7 grams (5.00 oz). The artificial coloring varies by flavor." The allergy warnings of this candy state that Nerds are created "in a facility that also produces wheat and egg." The normal serving size is one tablespoon-about 15 grams.
The rest of the candy contains less than 2 percent of corn syrup, artificial flavors, carnauba wax and artificial coloring. The top three ingredients are dextrose, sugar and malic acid. The article "Nerds Candy Nutrition" states, "Nerds primarily consist of sugar. They are thickly glazed with carnauba wax, which gives them a hard bite and a gloss. These optically clear monoclinic crystals are about 0.2–1 mm in length and help define the irregular shape. The nucleus of each candy is composed of one or more complete sucrose crystals. For instance, grape and strawberry go together-the most famous flavor combination among Nerds in the United States. Each barrel is then transferred into the different nerd boxes. Their original color is pure white they receive their colors in separate barrels. A factory worker states, "Basically we start off with a sugar crystal and we just keep coating it with more sugar." The factory spins huge barrel-like containers of sugar crystals, which receive coats of sugar until the Nerds are formed. The television show Unwrapped explains how Nerds are made.
