Oasis Gummy Candy in the UAE: Sweet vs Sour, 160g Bags and Cartons of 24

The sweet line is the gentle one. The product pages describe the sweetness as mild and kid-friendly, which is why it suits younger children, lunchboxes and a grocery checkout where parents make the decision. The sour line is the same soft gummy with a tangy coating on the outside, and that coating is what older children and teenagers ask for by name.

A practical split for a small shop: sweet at the till, where impulse buys happen, and sour on the confectionery shelf next to the popping candy, where the older kids go looking. For a party or event, mix both. The sweet rings and cars fill a party bag for small children, and the sour cherry goes in the bags for the older group.

The cola flavour sits in both lines. Oasis Sweet Cola Gummy is the plain, fizzy-style cola taste. The cola sour gummies add the sour coating on top of the same cola flavour. If you only have room for one cola, the sweet one is the safer first order, because it works for every age group.

Every flavour below is a 160g bag. The same flavour is also listed as a carton of 24 bags, one flavour per carton.

All single bags are in the Oasis gummy retail collection, and the cartons are in the wholesale collection linked at the end of this article.

A carton holds 24 bags of one flavour, which is 3.84 kg of gummies. That's the right unit once you know a flavour sells. It's the wrong unit for a flavour you haven't tried on your customers yet.

A sensible way to start:

1. Order single bags of three or four flavours, say sweet cola, sweet peach, sour cherry and sour watermelon.
2. Put them out for two or three weeks and watch which ones you reorder.
3. Move the two that sell fastest to cartons, and keep the others as single bags.

Carton prices are on each carton page, for example the Oasis Sweet Cola Gummies carton of 24. We don't print prices in articles because they change. Delivery across the UAE is free on orders above AED 300, and you can pay online or by transfer to our company bank account, which is how most of our trade customers settle.

Three places come up again and again when we talk to the people who stock them.

• Grocery checkout. A 160g bag is a sharing size, so it sells as a treat for the household rather than a single serving. Face the sweet flavours forward, since the adult paying is choosing.
• School canteens and tuck shops. The product pages list lunchboxes and school snacks as the intended use, and the bags are easy to portion into smaller servings if your canteen sells by the cup.
• Party bags and events. Caterers and event planners buy by the carton and split one bag across several party bags. The shaped sweets, rings, cars and worms, are the ones children recognise.

One handling note. Gummies soften in heat, so keep the stock out of a sunny window and don't leave cartons in a vehicle during the day. A cool, dry stockroom is all they need.

Yes. Oasis gummies are halal certified, and Seoul Oasis holds the halal certificate for the range. The gelling agent is halal beef gelatin. Gelatine, in the wording of the EU hygiene regulation that the UK keeps on its statute book, is a natural, soluble protein obtained by the partial hydrolysis of collagen from animal bones, hides, skins, tendons and sinews (Regulation 853/2004, Annex I). In plain terms, it's what gives a gummy its chew. Because the gelatin is beef, the gummies are not suitable for vegetarians, and that's worth saying on a canteen menu or a party invitation where it matters.

Like everything we sell, the range is handled under HACCP food safety controls and complies with UAE food import standards. The wider Oasis line, from coconut water to sparkling drinks, is covered in our guide to the full Oasis range.

No. Each carton is 24 bags of a single flavour. To stock a mix, order single bags from the retail collection, or order one carton each of two or three flavours.

Cherry, cola, watermelon and worms. Everything else, including the peach, grapes, rings, cars and the sweet worms, is in the sweet line with no sour coating.

You can order a single 160g bag. Cartons of 24 are the wholesale unit, and delivery in the UAE is free above AED 300, so two or three cartons usually clear the free delivery line.

No. The gelling agent is halal beef gelatin, and the range is halal certified.

On each carton's product page. Prices change, so we keep them off the blog.
