Face Twisters Sour Drops have been announced by Schuster Products LLC as its first addition to the portfolio in years that tackles a need for experiential candy products.
The product features a soft, chewy consistency that's similar to a taffy-style candy and boasts ample sour flavor throughout to offer an unexpected taste and texture experience for consumers. The product comes in four flavors including Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Lemon and Orange, which are each incorporated into a variety pack to maximize variety amongst kids and adults alike. The candy comes as part of the brand's expansion of its sour product portfolio to help further build on its continued popularity.
President Heidi Schuster spoke on the Face Twisters Sour Drops saying, "Consumers continue to gravitate toward candy that delivers both great taste and an exciting sensory experience. Face Twisters Sour Drops combine a satisfying chewy texture with the intense sour profile our brand has been known for nearly three decades."
