1. Tropical Flavors: These are gaining significant traction. Tropical flavors include mango, pineapple, ube, and calamansi, which are becoming more mainstream and popular in various food products. The rise of these flavors can be attributed to their vibrant taste and appeal across different cultural cuisines 1.

2. Spicy Flavors: Spicy varieties like chili lime and flaming-hot options have become staples and continue to maintain their popularity. These flavors tend to stay longer on shelves compared to novelty dessert flavors, which often come and go quickly 2.
