slo’s TUESDAY 3/26 poll - Sour Patch Kids

[MIGrandma]

They’re okay, I’ll take a couple if someone offers but I don’t buy them for myself.

 

[Moliphino]

I like them.
They make a great chaser for shots, too.

I like sour patch kids but really like the watermelons.

 

[lovesmurfs]

Needed multiple options today! I don't like ANY sour candies. I've never tried sour patch kids, though. Because, sour.

 

[RedAngie]

I sometimes buy the classic Sour Patch kids, not watermelon or other flavors. But I like sour gummy worms better.

 

[BrianL]

I do like them but they are not my favorite. I generally do like gummy type candy though.

 

[Babs Johnson]

I love sour candy.

 

[design_mom]

Sour Patch Kids are just okay to me. I’ll have one now and then but can easily resist them. However, they’re both my [adult] kids’ favorite. There are sour patch bunnies in Easter Baskets this year.

I like sour candies. I don't ever buy them but if the kids/grandkids have some, I'll have a few.


Before I retired, I had a business relationship with Wiseway Finer Foods, before they sold out to Strack & Van Til. I visited corporate multiple times a year, the stores themselves, twice a year. I stopped by Albanese there on Lincoln a number of times, super candy, super gummies.

I do agree though, that chocolate is where it's at.

Their chocolate is the best - I like it more than Hershey’s.
The Albanese family is a wonderful family. Every time I drive past their massive candy factory I think how glad I am that they have the success that they have. Their factory keeps getting bigger and bigger - it’s an awesome sight to see

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I somewhat like the watermelon kind, but in all honesty I don't eat a lot of this type of candy. I prefer something with chocolate in it.

 

[pinkxray]

I really like them, especially the red ones. I don’t really buy them for myself but snag a few if the kids have them or on Halloween.

When I was pregnant with DS, I was obsessed with them. I could eat them all day everyday.

 

[Tallulah-Belle]

Yes, I love sour patch kids! The red ones are my favorite.

 

[LuvOrlando]

Green guys

 

[rndmr2]

They are not my favorite but I will eat them sometimes. They are probably the only "Sour" candy that I even slightly like.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I don't eat a lot of candy, but I like Sour Patch Kids.

I lean towards chocolate based candy. When young I occasionally had the gummy type, like when I got Chuckles for Halloween. I don’t remember sour gummy candy being big when I was young. But later via my kids I did try some. I still gravitate to chocolate, and don’t buy gummy types, sour or not, for myself. Though with the cocoa shortage that may change!
