Sour Patch Kids Sour Cherry Blasters

Sour Patch Kids is a globally recognized confectionery brand famous for its 'sour then sweet' candy profile. Originally created in Canada in the late 1970s under the name 'Mars Men,' the brand was rebranded as Sour Patch Kids in 1985 to take advantage of the Cabbage Patch Kids craze in the United States.

The brand has undergone several ownership changes over the decades. It was initially developed by the Allan Candy Company, then later became part of Cadbury Schweppes. Today, Sour Patch Kids is a flagship brand under the Mondelēz International portfolio.

Manufacturing for Sour Patch Kids takes place in multiple locations worldwide to serve different markets. Primary production facilities are located in Canada (Hamilton, Ontario), Mexico, and Turkey. The brand is managed globally from Mondelēz headquarters in Chicago, ensuring consistent quality and availability across North American and international markets.
