Candy-Inspired Gum

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sour Patch Kids Stride Makes a Favorite Candy Long-Lasting

— December 21, 2013 — Lifestyle
The Sour Patch Kids Stride gum is perfect for anyone who always chose the sour candy as their must-have as an impulse buy at the grocery store.

If you're someone who always gets super sad the moment you reach the bottom of the package and put the last sugary sour treat in your mouth, you'll love the gum version. With Stride deciding to partner with the Sour Patch Kids brand, they've come up with an amazing food invention that allows you to chew the same Sour Patch Kid for as long as you like.

For kids who think they'll have a hard time convincing their parents to buy the gum, Sour Patch Kids Stride is sugar-free, giving them no defense against the candy once January comes and it hits stores.
