Candy names

Both names point at candy. Leafly files Gushers as TK41 because it goes by a popular fruit snack name Leafly will not mention for legal reasons, and says Runtz, the name White Runtz and Runtz Cake carry, is named after the sugary sweet candy.1,8 Gushers has its own guide in the Official Cannabis network at gushersstrain.com.
