The distinctive red lolly last underwent a rebrand in 2020, when the name was changed to Red Ripperz.
Since then, this delicious confectionary has remained an Aussie favourite.
Allen's reports early feedback on the new flavours, with customers loving the "chewier" texture.

Influencer @Alrighthey said: "These new flavours are serving remix realness, and I'm here for it!
"I've always loved the classic raspberry flavour - especially that chewy, juicy goodness - so I can't wait for Aussies to get their hands on juicy Apple and intense Grape.
"Who else is with me on team chewy lollies?"
Nestlé Head of Marketing Confectionery, Shannon Wright said: "Allen's cult classics are cherished by Aussies, so we're bringing a fresh, flavourful and chewy 'remix' to our beloved Ripperz.
"We think Aussies are going to love this fresh new take with its delicious apple and grape flavours."
The Allen's Ripperz Remix featuring Juicy Apple and Intense Grape chew flavours were released in major retailers at the end of May.

Not all supermarkets are currently stocking them so you may need to hunt around for them, and some 7-Eleven outlets have them.
A bag of the new remix costs $5.
This news comes just months after Allen's confirmed the end of Aussie favourite 'teeth' lollies.
