The SweeTarts Tangy Strawberry Soft & Chewy Ropes have been launched nationwide by the brand as a new candy that is suitable for consumers of all age ranges to enjoy.
As the name denotes, the candy has a soft texture that is quite different from the brand's original candies that are characterized by a hard, crunchy formula. The candy ropes are infused with a tart strawberry-flavored center and come as a followup to the original Cherry Punch variety that was introduced a few years ago.
The SweeTarts Tangy Strawberry Soft & Chewy Ropes come in two different size options and identify the increased demand for products that offer familiar flavors in a new formate or with a different kind of texture.
