SOUR PATCH KIDS HEADS, 2 FLAVORS IN 1 GUMMY SWEET
Soft candy, introduced in 2019, with 2-in-1 flavor combinations: Pink Lemonade/Blue Raspberry (pink/blue), Peach/Orange (green/orange), and Pineapple/Redberry (yellow/red). Each first sour, then sweet classic kid-shaped candy is two times bigger than regular SOUR PATCH KIDS and is a fat free sweet dusted with combination of sugar and sour. Serving suggestions suggest either eat whole for a new flavor combo or pull these candies apart to create your own.
Sour Patch Kids (known as Very Bad Kids in France, and as Maynard's Sour Patch Kids in Canada and formerly in the UK). They were first introduced into the U.S. markets in 1985, but actually they have an earlier production in the late 1970’s in Ontario, Canada as the story goes they were based on a product called Mars Men, which were created by Frank Galatolie in the 1970’s.
In the beginning they were shaped as Martians, to capitalize on the space enthusiasm of the 70’s. They then transformed into children to capitalize on the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the 1980s. Their original flavours were lemon, lime, orange, and raspberry. They were produced by M & A Candy Company, which was formed when Allan Candy Company and Malaco Liquorice Company combined. Then, in the late 1990s, Sour Patch Kids were acquired by Cadbury-Adams and then sold to Mondelez International Group.

GOBSTOPPER JAWBREAKERS EVERLASTING
Everlasting Gobstoppers are small multi- flavored jawbreaker that change flavor and color layer by layer getting to the slightly tart center.
The Everlasting Gobstopper is a gobstopper candy from Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. According to its creator W***y Wonka, it was intended "for children with very little pocket money". It not only changes colours and flavours when sucked on, but also never gets any smaller or disappears. In 1976, the name of the fictional candy was used for a product similar to a normal gobstopper, or jawbreaker. An actual Everlasting Gobstopper prop used in the Gene Wilder movie was sold for $100,000 to the owners of the television show Pawn Stars. The W***y Wonka Candy Company brand was later bought by Nestlé, and production has been moved to Itasca, Illinois. There are available in a variety of different flavor combinations and usually have a chalky Centre with a cherry flavor. A version with a chewy Centre is also available. The everlasting gobstopper product resembles the gobstopper from the book and its 2005 film adaptation far more than the ones in the 1971 film. The versions from the 1971 film are a multi-colored, bumpy, spiky candy, while ones in the book and the 2005 film are round, single-colored spheres.
The term gobstopper derives from "gob", which is slang in the United Kingdom and Ireland for mouth. The sweet was a favorite among British schoolboys in the first half of the twentieth century—author Roald Dahl, who wrote about a jar of gobstoppers featuring in the prank he played in his local sweet shop in 1923. Gobstoppers usually consist of a number of layers, each layer dissolving to reveal a differently colored (and sometimes differently flavoured) layer, before dissolving completely. Gobstoppers are too hard to bite without risking dental damage (hence the name "jawbreaker"). Gobstoppers have been sold in traditional sweet shops for at least a century, often sold by weight from jars. As gobstoppers dissolve very slowly, they last a very long time in the mouth, which is a major factor in their popularity.

GATORADE THIRST QUENCHER SPORTS DRINKS: FROST GLACIER FREEZE; FIERCE GRAPE AND FRUIT PUNCH
All Gatorades have a legacy of over 50 years, and they are the most scientifically researched and game-tested by the Pro-Athletes. They have been formulated to replace electrolytes lost in sweat and is made to keep you hydrated. The Gatorade Thirst Quenchers contains critical electrolytes to help replace what's lost in sweat. Gatorade has been reformulated without High Fructose Corn Syrup but still provides carbohydrate energy to fuel athletes' working muscles during activity. All Gatorade bottles are recyclable.
The first is a light blue bottle of Gatorade Frost that has a light, crisp flavor.
The second is a dark purple Gatorade Fierce Grape that is a newer and has a bolder, intense grape flavor that is been part of the collaboration between Gatorade and GSSI to create ways to help athletes improve performance by facilitating proper hydration and nutrition.
The third is a light red bottle of Gatorade G Series Fruit Punch that has a fruit punch flavor.
In early 1965, a University of Florida assistant coach worked with a team of university physicians and asked them to determine why so many of his players were being affected by heat and heat related illnesses. The researchers — Dr. Robert Cade, Dr. Dana Shires, Dr. H. James Free and Dr. Alejandro de Quesada — discovered two factors that were causing the Gator players to ‘wilt’: the fluids and electrolytes the players lost through sweat were not being replaced, and the large amounts of carbohydrates the players’ bodies used for energy were not being replenished. These researchers in a lab scientifically formulated a new, precisely balanced carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage that would adequately replace the key components lost by Gator players through sweating and exercise. They called their concoction ‘Gatorade’. At first the drink was not a hit the players, so Cade's wife proposed adding lemon juice to make it a little more palatable. But in 1966, the Gators started drinking Gatorade during hot summer practices and not only did the weight loss problem improve, but they also saw a significant drop in the number of players hospitalized for heat exhaustion. Cade also credited the drink with his team's 8-2 record that season. In 1967, Stokely-Van Camp Co. became Gatorade's distributor until it was acquired by Quaker Oats in 1983. Pepsi -- which acquired Quaker Oats in 2001 -- now produces and markets Gatorade,

ARK HOMEMADE CHAMOY SAUCE
This is a homemade Sweet & Sour Condiment using only the highest quality ingredients, ensuring a rich and tangy flavor. You can use this on candy, fruit or mixing a drink. This product contains no preservatives so please store in fridge and will last up to 4 months refrigerated. Product is vegan and Halaal certified. Chamoy is like an Asian sweet and sour sauce but with more heat and deeper tang. It still does contain chili powder it is spicy without having a searing heat and the sweetness of the fruit and sugar make it more balanced and if eating it in candy form, the sugary aspect becomes more pronounced and often there's a bit more salt to the food as well.
The origins of Chamoy are not based in Latin America but Asia. Most likely from the Japanese food umeboshi, a type of pickled ume fruit—ume being a type of small, tart plum or apricot. Or, it might have developed from crack seed, also called see mui, which a Cantonese word describing a salted and dried apricot snack is found in China. The Asian influence comes from centuries of migration, since the 1590’s, bringing their customs and food. Mexican chamoy must have evolved and developed into the staple spice blend and sauce many Mexican food lovers know today. As in Mexico, any frozen fruit drink garnished with chamoy are known as chamoyadas, whether they are shaved or blended.

DR PEPPER – CHERRY
This classic American soft drink is the original recipe of 23 signature flavours with the added cherry flavouring that gives it a hint of cherry. It is marketed as the smoothest Dr Pepper ever that is best served chilled. This flavour was first released in some areas around February 2009.
W.W. Clements, a former CEO and president of the Dr Pepper/7-Up Company, described the taste of Dr Pepper as one-of-a-kind, saying "I've always maintained you cannot tell anyone what Dr Pepper tastes like because it's so different. It's not an apple, it's not an orange, it's not a strawberry, it's not a root beer, and it’s not even a cola. It's a different kind of drink with a unique taste all its own."

DICKS SWEETS: TRADITIONAL SWEET MAKERS SINCE 1938
COCONUT ICE: Despite its name, there's no ice in coconut ice – just icing sugar, condensed milk, desiccated coconut and red food dye. This sweet and colorful fudge is traditionally made in two layers, with a white layer on the bottom and a pale pink layer on top.
CHOCOLATE NOUGAT BAR: A long rectangular shaped bar with white nougat in the center completely coated in milk chocolate.
TURKISH DELIGHT: Classic Rose flavoured sugar dusted oblong bar of Turkish delight.
Coconut ice was originally from Britain and the name from the appearance of the white looking like ice. This delicacy can be found in USA but under the name Neapolitan Coconut with the addition of a chocolate layer.
Nougat is derived from Occitan pan nogat, seemingly from Latin panis nucatus 'nut bread' (the late colloquial Latin adjective nucatum means 'nutted' or 'nutty'). There are two types of Nougat one the most popular the white or Persian, since the 7th century, and the second the brown a European concoction.
Turkish Delight or Lokum has a rather unknown origin except it has been produced in Turkey and Iran (Persia) as early as the late 18th century. A confectioner named Bekir Effendi, opened a sweet shop in Istanbul in 1776, and gets the credit. In the west we have to thank some unknown British traveler, because he got fond during his travels shipped cases to Britain under the name of Turkish Delight. It became a delicacy amongst Europe’s high society, who would exchange pieces of Turkish Delight wrapped in silk or lace handkerchiefs as elegant gifts.
Dicks Sweets is a family run business that has been trading on and off since 1938. They still continue to hand make all their products using the same recipes as before, no added preservatives in the manufacturing process and still done over gas fires in trusty handcrafted copper pots. The gelatine is Halaal certified.
