Dark skies and wet conditions can quickly put a damper on summer plans, leading Lemonhead to launch complimentary on-demand deliveries when rain is forecasted on summer Fridays via its Virtual Sunshine Stand supported by Gopuff. Lemonhead is sweetening rainy days by bringing its new Lemonhead ropes right to the doorsteps of candy lovers.
Every summer Friday from May 30th to August 29th, during a set window of time, Lemonhead fans can go online to see if they're eligible to receive an on-demand delivery—four free packages of Lemonhead Ropes—if they're in a zone where showers are expected.
This new Lemonhead product features a tart, soft center wrapped in a chewy outer later with the signature mouth-puckering citrus flavor fans love.
