A dessert trend known as “frozen jelly” is rapidly gaining popularity among young consumers, particularly Millennials and Generation Z, as videos of people freezing and biting into gummy candies circulate widely on soci 바다이야기 al media.

The surge in interest is also visible offline. Sour gummies coated in sweet-and-tangy powder, which are easily found at convenience stores, are seeing a rise in demand. A part-time worke 백경릴게임 r at a convenience store in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, said jelly purchases have increased in recent weeks. “More customers are looking for gummies that didn’t sell as well before, and some even ask for specific products, so we’ve been ordering more,” the worker said.
Like earlier texture-focused crazes such as Dubai-style chewy cookies, the frozen jelly trend reflects a broader shift in dessert consumption. For many young consumers, flavor alone is no longer enough.
Texture, sound and viral appeal, or the potential to be shared and replicated online, now play an equally important role. The dramatic crunch and visually pleasing aspect make frozen jelly particularly well-suited to short-form content.
However, caution may be warranted. Biting into hardened gummies can put pressure on teeth, and the combination of extreme cold and sticky sugar residue may increase the risk of dental damage or cavities, especially for those with braces.
