The Sour Punch Pickle Roulette has been launched by the American Licorice Co. as a treat that builds on a previous April Fool's Day joke to provide kids and adults alike with an unexpected candy experience.
The limited-edition product consists of identical sour candy straws in a lime green color, which come in Lemon Lime, Green Apple and Watermelon flavors. The straws also come in a Pickle-flavored option that is hidden within the mix to have candy fans rolling the dice with every serving they take. Priced at $1.89 per tray, the candy is available exclusively for purchase directly from the brand online.
VP of Marketing Kristi Shafer spoke on the Sour Punch Pickle Roulette saying, "While we want everyone to enjoy the more traditional flavors our brand has to offer, we felt adding pickle is a fun surprise that fans will want to share. Whether testing your luck alone or spinning it into a game, Sour Punch is always looking for more ways to appeal to audiences of all ages and taste buds."
