NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has entered the candy industry together with his latest enterprise.

The host introduced the world to Shaq-A-Licious XL jelly beans. The latest line of candies is available in two different varieties: Shaq-A-Licious Original, which is formed like Shaq’s face, and Shaq-A-Licious Sour. The sour jumbo jelly beans are available three different shapes and flavors, and are named after a number of the nicknames he adopted during his basketball profession: “Diesel,” “Big Cactus,” and “Big Shamrock.” Shaq-A-Licious Sour flavors include pineapple, mixed berries and watermelon.

“I’m just a big kid at heart. I love making people smile and have fun – that’s why I created Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies. So go ahead and bite my head off. Life’s too short not to have fun!” Shaq said in a written statement.

The jellies were launched in cooperation with The Hershey Company.

Shaq was in New York to promote Shaq-A-Licious XL jelly beans appearing at Hershey’s Chocolate World in Times Square. He was seen handing out the product to people contained in the store. He also chatted with comedian Jimmy Fallon to debate the brand new candy, amongst other things.

General Motors began offering customers access to greater than 17,800 Tesla Superchargers using the GM-approved North American Charging Standard (NACS) DC adapter.

The iconic automaker announced the milestone on September 18, which is a component of GM’s broader effort to improve charging options for current and future electric vehicle (EV) drivers by providing fast, convenient charging across the country.

“GM’s commitment to expanding public charging infrastructure is critical to our all-electric future,” said Wade Sheffer, vice chairman of GM Energy. “By enabling even more fast chargers, we’re improving the customer experience and ensuring a smooth transition to electric.”
