Sour Patch Goat

While trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of Gummies turning sour, Endora sends your wizard to get Sugar Dandruff from Sour Patch Goats.

Your wizard will encounter Sour Patch Goats in the Black Licorice Forest and the Cinnamon Troll Cave.

Informational Fact: A baby goat is known as a kid.

Sour Patch Kids (known as Maynards Sour Patch Kids in Canada) are a brand of soft candy with a coating of invert sugar and sour sugar (a combination of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sugar). The tartaric and citric acids provide the candy with a sharp burst of tartness, while the inverted sugar gives the soft gummy its sweet flavor. Sour Patch Kids Extreme, which contains malic acid in addition to the tartaric and citric acids, is considered the sourest variation in the Sour Patch line of candies. The slogans “Sour Then Sweet” and “Sour. Sweet. Gone.” refer to the candy’s sour-to-sweet taste.

Sour Patch Kids were created in the early 1970s by Frank Galatolie, originally under the name “Mars Men,” while working as a confectioner at Jaret International. In the late 1970s, Cadbury and the Malaco Licorice Company formed the Allen Candy Company in Hamilton, Ontario to produce them. In 1985, they were re-branded to “Sour Patch Kids.” The name was likely changed to capitalize on the popularity of Cabbage Patch Kids at the time. Mondelez International currently handles production of the candy, following their acquisition of the Allen Candy Company in the late 1990s.
