What You Should Know

You'd spot this bright 6 oz bag in the candy aisle or near the checkout, snagged for movie nights, road trips or as a nostalgic snack. The chewy, intensely sweet texture and long shelf life come from industrial syrups, modified starch and added acids/flavorings — typical signs of an ultra‑processed candy engineered for consistent bite, color and flavor.
