Sour Patch Kids Now Come in Separate Red and Blue Packs

— June 28, 2019 — Lifestyle
Sour Patch Kids has been listening to customer feedback and now the brand is finally rolling out separate red and blue packs.

For years, Sour Patch Kids fans have complained about having to pick out their favorite flavor—either blue raspberry or cherry—from a package of mixed sour candies. Now the brand is offering packs of just red Sour Patch Kids and just blue Sour Patch Kids. The dedicated red and blue packs are clearly a response to online comments, as Sour Patch Kids made the announcement on Facebook with the caption: "Ask and you shall receive." The brand also notes that the solo candy packs are only available for a limited time and can be found exclusively at 7-Eleven stores.
