We tried the viral Gruns gummies: Here's what Bethenny Frankel got right about them
Remember those neon, sugar-packed gummies from your childhood?
The ones that tasted more like candy than vitamins, that you had to beg your parents to buy every time they took you grocery shopping. Well, we may have found the grown-up version, minus the dyes, outrageously high sugar counts, and unpronounceable ingredients.
Gruns gummies are TikTok's latest wellness obsession, instantly recognizable by their rich green hue and nostalgic bear shape. They're easy to take anywhere, surprisingly tasty, and, according to Bethenny Frankel and thousands of online fans, 'excellent for your digestion.'
Yes, you should expect to pay the premium for Gruns (honestly, we're surprised we haven't seen these gummies pop up at a ritzy Erewhon store yet). But if you order a pack of Gruns on Amazon, you can snag them for around 10% off.
The formula stacks up: Gruns combines 60 potent ingredients backed by 35,000 research publications — that includes organic kale, parsley, wheatgrass, spirulina, pomegranate, shiitake mushroom powder, and more fruits and veggies you probably wouldn't bother buying at the store. Instead of cramming it all in a single gummy, nutrients are spread out through the packet, perfect for those with pill fatigue.
'I don't like taking pills. The only ones I'll take are for my hair, and I have to muster it up…' shared former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star, Bethenny Frankel. 'They (Gruns) taste slightly sweet, but in a manageable way. It's not candy, it's not covered in sugar, but it's kind of a little treat.'
Frankel isn't the only celeb fan. A growing roster of high-profile names, including Joe Burrow, Shaun White, and Anna Kendrick, has backed the vitamin brand as investors. With new formulas rolling out and a hit sugar-free version already on the market, it seems that this is just the beginning for Gruns.
Considering all the buzz around these bite-sized bears, we had to see if Gruns are really worth it (the $66, to be exact). Find our Gruns review below, and browse more of our favorite greens supplements while you're at it.
Gruns
Pros: Gruns gummies are regularly third-party tested with Eurofins
Good amount of fiber to support healthy, regular digestion
Packs are very small, light, and easy to open — very easy to take on the go
Each gummy delivers 100% of your daily needs for key vitamins
Cons: While many users like the fruity flavor profile, others mentioned a somewhat earthy aftertaste
Gruns aren't just 'healthier' gummy bears. These sugar-free gummies are formulated to fill your health gaps with whole fruits, veggies, vitamins, prebiotics, adaptogens, and more essential nutrients. They're third-party-tested, clinically backed, and supported by thousands of reviews. A post-purchase survey revealed that 52% of Gruns users felt more energized throughout the day, and over 67% reported their overall health and well-being had improved since starting these gummies.

New York Post Review: The Post Wanted team's been passing these gummies around, and let's just say, they're now living rent-free on a few of our desks. They're mildly sweet, slightly earthy, and super soft to chew. Zero bizarre chemical smell. Sure, there's still a slight veggie aftertaste, but it's minimal enough that the amount of vitamins you're getting in every bite makes up for it. The packaging is another win: slim, sleek, and perfect for tossing in your work bag or slipping into a pocket on your way out the door. A few of us have even noticed they help curb sugar cravings, especially when the vending machine starts calling during a mid-day crash. And, on the digestion front, Bethenny wasn't kidding. These gummies get your gut into a good groove — expect improved regularity.

Who Is ‘Perfect Match's Hannah Burns Engaged to Marry?
Netflix's Perfect Match season 3 has been one for the books—but IMO, the most interesting drama of the season is happening off-screen. From AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland's whole deal to Louis Russell's red carpet bombshell, fans have been kept fed between episode drops. The latest scandal that has the internet talking: the identity of Hannah Burns' baby daddy/fiancé. After Netflix dropped its second batch of episodes last Friday, Hannah took to TikTok to share pics from a maternity also happened to feature her mystery man. And since (as she previously revealed) most of her scenes were cut from the show, fans are dying to know: Who is the father of Hannah's child? If you need to be caught up to speed: Hannah first raised eyebrows in late June, when she posted an Instagram suggesting she's gotten engaged on the upcoming season. Not long after, she announced that not only is she engaged—she's also expecting her first child. Per The Mole alum, Netflix won't allow her to reveal the identity of her fiancé, but she has said that she 'wouldn't be getting married or pregnant right now had I not been in Perfect Match.' So the question begs: Is Hannah's mystery man one of her fellow season 3 cast members, and if so, who is it? According to a whole bunch of internet sleuths, the answer is Too Hot to Handle's Jalen Olomu-Brown, a theory that's mostly based on some careful hand analysis. Also! The Dobermann in the backseat of the above video looks preeeetty similar to Jalen's dog Deuce (swipe to compare): Plus, fans are convinced they can hear his voice in this video: That said, there is also a theory going around that Hannah's man is someone named Louie Crow, who's not a part of the cast at all but rather someone she supposedly met at the resort while filming (which would explain why she was cut from the series). The reason: In the below TikTok, you'll see the words '@ Louie crow wassup with you' flash behind the text around the nine-second mark: And to be fair, she never explicitly stated that her fiancé was a Perfect Match cast member—just that she met him while filming the series. Guess fans will have to sit tight and wait until the finale drops on August 15!

Machine Gun Kelly Admits He Doesn't Know His Age: 'Don't Know Many Facts About My Life'
The rapper -- who recently had a baby with Megan Fox -- also addressed the rumors surrounding him and Sydney Sweeney. Machine Gun Kelly is unsure about his age. The rapper appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday night, where Cohen mentioned how young he looked, before politely asking how old he was. "It's a weird thing dude. I don't know if my age... I don't know if it exists," the "Bloody Valentine" star -- whose real name is Colson Baker -- replied. A Google search showed he is currently 35 years old. "I just don't know many facts about my life," he continued. "Like my skin, if it rips open, it heals really quick. There's just things where I'm starting to be like, 'It was my Dad.'" MGK has opened up about his father in the Aug. 5 episode of Bunnie Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast, recalling how the latter -- who died in July 2019 -- once had to stand trial at age 9 for the murder of his own father. "The story that was always told to me was that their dad dropped the gun, and his head essentially blew off," MGK shared. "All happened in the room with my dad at 9 years old. So him and my grandmother were tried for the murder. They were both acquitted," he said at the time. During WWHL Cohen asked if MGK thinks he could possibly be "other worldly." "I've asked my mom, 'Was there any period of time you went missing, ever like a tall slender creature...,'" he hinted. "She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point." Elsewhere in the show, he was put on the spot during a fan Q&A portion. "MGK, Kyle P. wants to know if there's any truth to the rumor that you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends?" To which the rapper said in response, "Kyle P., shut up dude," before Cohen erupted with laughter. The pair were spotted partying at the opening of Palm Tree Beach Club at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in May this year. The two were photographed in an intimate embrace and she posted a photo with MGK and fellow actor, Patrick Schwarzenegger. It made headlines, as the Euphoria actress had just ended her engagement to longtime partner, Jonathan Davino. The late-night show shared the clip on their official TikTok, where fans were quick to notice MGK hadn't actually answered the question, causing them to speculate even more. "He never answered the question tho (sic)," one user wrote on TikTok, while another added "So… that's a yes." MGK is the father of two daughters; Saga Blade, 5 months, who, he shares with Megan Fox ... and 16-year-old Casie Colson, his child with ex Emma Cannon. Solve the daily Crossword

Cat's 'Existential Crisis' Over Unexpected Visitor Has Internet in Stitches
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man who came to visit his family from out of town left the cat questioning her understanding of life, as the brother's resemblance was uncanny to her owner. A pet parent named Emily told Newsweek via TikTok that her brother-in-law recently visited the couple's house from out of town. She said he "looks very similar" to her husband, noting their strong Sicilian genes and similar features, which unexpectedly tripped up their cat upon the first meeting. In an August 9 TikTok video posted to her account @kittiegumdrops, the cat, Vivi, paused when she saw her owner's brother standing at the other end of the room. Wheels began turning in Vivi's mind. Curious about the man, but unsure if she recognized him, her eyes bulged, beginning her "existential crisis." "I got it on camera for about 20 seconds, but in total it was probably closer to two minutes," Emily said. "It wasn't until he coughed that she made herself scarce. She was like, 'That's not my dad!'" Screenshots from an August 9 TikTok video of a cat going through an "existential crisis" while looking at her owner's brother. Screenshots from an August 9 TikTok video of a cat going through an "existential crisis" while looking at her owner's brother. @kittiegumdrops/TikTok The cat's senses went into overdrive, trying to figure out who this human was standing in her home, proving that felines can often recognize faces. She paused, thinking it was her owner, but took the time to realize there was something off. Cats will use their sense to help identify humans, a vet-verified article from Catster reported. With a sense of smell about 14 times stronger than a human's, cats use their odor receptors to trigger their memory and help identify people. An owner's voice also becomes recognizable to cats, as well as the way humans walk. Each person carries a different stride and weight, bringing in varying sounds that cats use to distinguish the difference between people. Felines can also recognize facial expressions and will respond better to their owners than to strangers. What Do the Comments Say? Within two days of posting, the TikTok video amassed over 1.7 million views and 424,200 likes. Her hesitant reaction left viewers cracking up. "She said, 'I see my person, but I don't smell my person,'" joked a viewer. Another pointed out: "It's the looking him up and down for me." A third user wrote: "I'm dying, I've had cats all my life and never seen one look too stunned to speak." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
