Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups: Glowing Strawberry-Watermelon Gummies

Get ready to have your taste buds and your retinas dazzled, because Sour Patch Kids is back with a glow-up that’s glowing! Introducing Sour Patch Kids Strawberry-Watermelon Glow Ups, the candy world’s first-ever gummy that lights up under blacklight. That’s right—these aren’t your average sour-then-sweet treats. These are experiential candies, coated with edible confetti that glows like a neon rave in your mouth. It’s like Sour Patch Kids threw a party, and your taste buds are the VIP guests. If you’ve ever wanted to snack on something that doubles as a nightlight, this is your moment.

But how, you ask, does a candy glow without involving actual witchcraft? The secret lies in turmeric extract—yes, the same stuff your wellness-obsessed aunt puts in her smoothies. But don’t worry, this isn’t some health food in disguise. The turmeric is completely flavorless, so it won’t interrupt your strawberry-watermelon flavor journey. After eating a whole bag of these, it’s just there to make the candy shine brighter than your future.

And let’s talk about that flavor combo for a second. Strawberry and watermelon? It’s like summer in your mouth, but with a sour kick that’ll make your lips pucker and a glow that’ll make you question whether you’re eating candy or snacking on a glow stick. (Pro tip: It’s candy. Please don’t eat glow sticks.)

Mark your calendars, because Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups will be available online starting Wednesday, March 5th, and hitting shelves at major retailers later in March. Whether you’re throwing a blacklight party, trying to impress your friends with your glowing snacks, or just want to feel like a human firefly, these candies are a must-try. Just remember: if your teeth start glowing after eating them, you might have gone a little overboard. But hey, no judgment here—glow big or go home!

Ah, the age-old question that no one asked but everyone secretly wonders: If you eat Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups—those glowing strawberry-watermelon gummies that light up under blacklight—will your poop glow too? While Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups are a glowing masterpiece for your taste buds, they probably won’t turn you into a human glow stick from the inside out. But hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, grab a blacklight and test the theory. Just maybe don’t invite anyone over for dinner that night.

Now, as for the glowing poop theory: while the confetti might make your mouth look like a rave under blacklight, it’s unlikely to survive the digestive process intact enough to make your poop glow. Your stomach acid is the ultimate party pooper (pun intended), breaking down most of the glow magic before it reaches the finish line. That said, if you eat an entire bag and then shine a blacklight in your bathroom, you might notice a faint, mysterious glow.
