Sour Patch Kids are off to space with the launch of its new Space Kids packets, the brand’s first offering of dual-flavoured foams alongside the original dual-flavoured jellies in space-themed shapes.

Flavours include peach and cream, strawberry and blackcurrant, pineapple and orange and watermelon and lime, in shapes including a spaceship, astronaut, shooting star and the planet Saturn.

Mondelēz International senior marketing manager Kelly Graham said, “We’ve taken one giant leap with the launch of dual-flavoured foams and jellies, but with the classic sour-sweet gone twist. We’re so excited for Aussies to try the new range and to hear their thoughts on the new flavour and texture combinations.”

Sour Patch Kids Space Kids is Australian-made featuring no artificial colours or flavours, and is available at Coles, Woolworths and independent supermarkets in 190g for RRP $4.00.
