At first glance, GubGub’s newly launched fruit roll-ups may remind some of the nostalgic aam papad from childhood. But let’s set the record straight — GubGub roll-ups are a whole different (and healthier) story.
Made with nothing but the goodness of real fruit pulp, these snacks are crafted with care, science, and snack-time joy in mind. No added sugars, no preservatives, no artificial flavours — just pure fruity fun.
Let’s break it down.
🍋 What is Aam Papad, Really?
Aam papad was once a beloved treat, traditionally made by our grandparents using sun-dried mango pulp and just a bit of sugar. It was simple, homemade, and absolutely delicious. But over the years, the store-bought versions have changed drastically. Today’s aam papads are often packed with refined sugar, artificial flavours, colours, and preservatives. In fact, the mango flavour you taste is often not from real fruit at all — it's from added flavours and colours. What was once a wholesome homemade treat has now turned into something highly processed and far from natural. This makes modern aam papad a poor choice for both children and adults who are trying to eat clean and healthy.

🎉 Final Word: This is NOT Your Store Bought Aam Papad
We understand the emotional connection many of us have with aam papad — it reminds us of simpler times and sweet summer memories. But while the traditional version made by our grandparents was a labour of love, today’s mass-produced versions are a far cry from those homemade delights. With high levels of refined sugar, artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives, they no longer belong on the snack list — especially for kids.
GubGub fruit roll-ups are not just a modern upgrade to aam papad — they’re a smarter, cleaner, more delightful way to enjoy fruit. So next time someone says, “Oh, these look like aam papad!” — feel free to smile and say: “Only in shape. Not in substance.”
