Sour Patch Kids Strawberry is Here in Time for the Summer

Sour Patch Kids Strawberry is the brand's latest addition to its lineup that's crafted with the namesake summertime fruit in mind to provide consumers with an alternative way to enjoy its juicy flavor.

The candy features the signature sour-turn-sweet flavor of the brand's original Sour Patch Kids, but puts a strong strawberry flavor in the spotlight for fans to enjoy. The candy is also strawberry-shaped to further drive home the summery nature of the treat. This will make it the perfect addition to a summertime dessert spread or barbecue.

Brand Manager Cieran James spoke on the Sour Patch Kids Strawberry saying, "This is our first new flavour addition in the UK since Watermelon – which generated impressive results – and as Strawberry is the number one fruit flavour in the category this deliciously sour treat is set to fly off shelves. We can’t wait to hear what retailers and their shoppers think!"
