Sour Patch Kids are a soft candy with a coating of invert sugar and sour sugar (a combination of citric acid, tartaric acid and sugar).[2] Its slogan, "Sour. Sweet. Gone." refers to the sour-to-sweet taste of the candy.
History
Sour Patch Kids were originally created by Frank Galatolie of Jaret International, under the name of Sour Group Kids.[3][4] In the late 1970's the Mondelez international and the Malaco Licorice Company of Sweden formed the M & A Candy Company in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in order to produce them. In the 1970's the candy was renamed Mars Men, and by 1985 they were renamed to Sour Patch Kids to capitalize on the popularity of Cabbage Patch Kids. [5]
In 2013 the Berry (Blue) flavor was added.
