The Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Jelly Beans are a new product being launched by Mondelēz International just in time for Easter to offer consumers with an alternative option to enjoy during the springtime holiday. The candies come in 13-ounce bags and features a soft texture that is perfectly chewy with an unexpected flavor experience to boot. This includes having a sour watermelon flavor that will turn sweet, which calls to mind the brand's original sour candy.
The Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Jelly Beans are priced at $3 per pack and also feature a pastel color scheme with beans in pink and light green colors. This makes them a distinctly seasonally appropriate option for consumers to pick up this spring.
