They are characterized by their pliable, licorice-like texture and an immediate, intense sour kick that transitions into a sweet finish.

Their unique "straw" shape lends itself to playful eating, sometimes even used for sipping beverages. Available in a variety of vibrant flavors and often in rainbow assortments, they offer a multi-sensory experience. Choose Sour Punch Straws for a bold, tart, and satisfyingly chewy candy that combines a history of innovation with a consistent burst of flavor.
