No longer Sour Patch Kids, company says

(WJW) – An iconic candy brand says it has a new name.

They’re no longer Sour Patch Kids, the company announced on social media.

“JUST Patch Kids” now, according to the company.

“Our decision is final,” they wrote. “We cannot stand by and be called ‘not sour’ in our comments. You don’t appreciate our sour, so we’re taking it back.”

“We’re not sour AT ALL anymore,” the company wrote.

“You never realize what you have until its sour then sweet then gone. Hope it was worth it,” the post ends.

It’s also important to note April Fools’ Day is just around the corner.

The candy has previously undergone a name change, however. When first rolled out in the 1970s, they were called “Mars Men.” They were rebranded as “Sour Patch Kids” in the 1980s.

Nexstar’s WJW has reached out to the company for comment but did not immediately hear back.
