Why this brand is demanded internationally
Sour Patch Kids is one of the most TikTok-viral candy brands of the last 3 years. The brand has been around since the 1980s but social media gave it a second life — the format (sour-then-sweet, rainbow colors, kid-shaped) is camera-friendly, and the US lineup has expanded to include flavors that don't exist anywhere else. Korean food YouTubers, UK TikTokers, and Brazilian content creators have all driven international demand to levels Mondelēz never planned distribution for.
The standard Original Sour Patch Kids is sold in many countries, but most of the lineup is US-exclusive at scale: Watermelon (the #2 most-requested), Tropical, Berries, Extreme, Heads (huge sour intensity), Strawberry, Crush Soda collab. The Heads variant in particular has a cult following — they're 3x the size of regular Sour Patch Kids and 3x the sour.
We ship Sour Patch Kids to 60+ countries. Most orders are bundled with other US-only candy (Nerds Gummy Clusters, Hot Tamales, Skittles Tropical) since the marginal shipping cost is negligible.
