PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Sour Patch Kids are a soft jelly candy sanded with a sweet & sour coating. The candies are supposedly in the shape of little frizzy haired kids.
Frank Galatolie was the creator of Mars Men (which later became Sour Patch Kids). He created them to make money off of the sour and space fad of the mid 70s.
In the beginning, Sour Patch Kids were shaped as martians, to take advantage of the space enthusiasm of the 70’s. They then transformed into children to capitalize on the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the 1980s.
At first Sour Patch Kids were produced by M & A Candy Company, which was formed when Allan Candy Company and Malaco Licorice Company combined. Then, in the late 1990s, Sour Patch Kids were acquired by Cadbury-Adams, the company that owns them now.
Early in their life, the Sour Patch Kids were produced by the M & A Candy Company, which was formed after a merger between the Allan Candy Company of Canada, and the Malaco Licorice Company, based in Sweden. The rights and recipes for Sour Patch Kids were acquired in the late 1990’s by the British multinational Cadbury-Adams, known for dozens of confections and candies. In 2010, Kraft Foods purchased Cadbury and became the producer of the Sour patch kids. Currently, Sour Patch Kids are sold by the Kraft foods company in the United States, and Maynards (a division of Cadbury) in the United Kingdom.
