To celebrate the new re-release of its wildly popular Chewy line, SweeTARTS®—"the iconic candy brand [that is] known for its mouthwatering balance of sweet and tart fruity flavors"—has initiated an all-encompassing candy marketing campaign.

The company has partnered with "[TikTok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixed-fruit-soft-candy) content-creating queen" Flossybaby to encourage followers and Chewy lovers alike to show their love for the [chewy SweeTARTS candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetarts-gummy-halos). Consumers will have the chance to enter a contest to win an exclusive first look at the future product innovation, a year's supply of the new and improved Chewy SweeTARTS, and an honorary title of "CEO of Chewy SweeTARTS." The contest ends on June 7th.
