Texas, Say Goodbye to Sour Patch Kids

If you’re a candy fan in Texas, it looks like we’re in for a bit of a sour surprise…

Sour Patch Kids have been a go-to sour candy for years, giving fans that perfect mix of tangy and sweet in every bite. From the first mouth-puckering taste to the fruity finish, they’ve mastered the balance of bold flavor and chewy goodness.

Whether you love the classic flavors like lemon, lime, orange, raspberry, and blue raspberry or prefer the extremely sour versions, there’s no denying their legendary status in the candy world. While some sour candies are too weak and others are way too intense, Sour Patch Kids have always hit that perfect middle ground.

But before you start worrying, remember that April Fools’ Day is coming soon. Could this just be a prank? Are we getting tricked by a bag of chewy, sugar-coated mischief? That would be pretty harsh…

The brand just made a shocking announcement—they’re dropping the “Sour” and will now be called “JUST Patch Kids.” The reason? They’re tired of people saying they’re “not sour enough.” “Our decision is final,” the company said in a post. “We cannot stand by and be called ‘not sour’ in our comments. You don’t appreciate our sour, so we’re taking it back.”

Oof. That’s one bitter breakup.

They doubled down, adding, “We’re not sour AT ALL anymore.” And to make it sting even more, they finished with, “You never realize what you have until it’s sour, then sweet, then gone. Hope it was worth it.”

Now, we have to wait and see if this is real or just a well-timed joke. Either way, Texas candy lovers might want to stock up on Sour Patch Kids—uh, Patch Kids—just in case. You never know when your favorite snack might just disappear!
