Where to find free Shaquille O'Neal candy over the Final Four weekend

[ASFN Admin]

Basketball fans can score Hershey’s Shaquille O'Neal-branded candy around Indianapolis during the 2026 NCAA Men's Final Four weekend.

Shaq-A-Licious SLAMS are being sampled throughout the area. The basketball-inspired SLAMS candy packs have crunchy-coated gummy balls in watermelon, strawberry and orange flavors paired with chewy sour mango hoops.

Those with a sweet tooth should look for the colorful Shaq-A-Licious truck at various locations, including the NCAA Tip-Off Tailgate, April 3-6. Giveaways there include limited prize packs with hats, sweatshirts and basketballs.

The 15-time NBA All-Star and “Inside the NBA” analyst will be around town, as well.

The gummy candy brand is a partner of the NCAA basketball tournament.
