Sour Patch Kids (known as Very Bad Kids in France,[1] and known as Maynards Sour Patch Kids in Canada and previously in the UK) are a brand of soft candy with a coating of invert sugar and sour sugar (a combination of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sugar).[2] The tartaric and citric acids provide the candy with a sharp burst of tartness, while the inverted sugar gives the soft gummy its sweet flavor.[3] Sour Patch Kids Extreme, which contains malic acid in addition to the tartaric and citric acids, is considered the sourest variation in the Sour Patch line of candies.[3] The slogans "Sour Then Sweet" and "Sour. Sweet. Gone." refer to the candy's sour-to-sweet taste.[4]

History

Sour Patch Kids were created in the early 1970s by Frank Galatolie, originally under the name "Mars Men," while working as a confectioner at Jaret International.[5][1] In the late 1970s, Cadbury and the Malaco Licorice Company formed the Allen Candy Company in Hamilton, Ontario to produce them.[6] In 1985, they were re-branded to "Sour Patch Kids."[5][1] The name was likely changed to capitalize on the popularity of Cabbage Patch Kids at the time.[1] Mondelez International currently handles production of the candy, following their acquisition of the Allen Candy Company in the late 1990s.[6]
