Shaquille O’Neal Steps Out in NYC to Promote His Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies
Authentic partner and Living Legend Shaquille O’Neal went on a New York City press tour to promote the launch of his new Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies.
Shaq kicked off the visit with a stop at Hershey's Chocolate World in Times Square, where he handed out candy to shoppers. The store also unveiled a super-sized gummy installation during its media night, attended by journalists from outlets including Entertainment Tonight, Good Morning America and Page Six.
Steps away in the heart of the city, a billboard featuring the Shaq-A-Licious branding served as a spot for the All-Star to pose and take photos with fans.
Available at Walmart stores nationwide, the candy is offered in two delicious varieties: Shaq-A-Licious Original, with gummies that are molded after O’Neal’s face, and Shaq-A-Licious Sour, offered in three playful shapes and flavors—Diesel, The Big Cactus and The Big Shamrock—that celebrate the legendary nicknames earned during his storied career.
Later in the evening, O’Neal sat down with comedian Jimmy Fallon on his eponymous talk show to chat all things candy and basketball. Shaq even challenged Jimmy to a free-throw competition, and the duo tossed up their own version of a candy salad inspired by the viral TikTok trend.
