Question 1

Is Sour Patch Kids healthy?

Accepted Answer

Sour Patch Kids are sugar twice over: 25g per bag, once in the chew and once in the sour coating. There's no fat or protein, so nothing slows the hit. The sour-then-sweet ritual is the whole draw, and it's now reproducible for about a tenth of the sugar.
