Trying to Find the Best Sour Patch Kids Flavour EVER

The Ultimate Sour Patch Kids Showdown

Canadians love their candy debates — and when it comes to Sour Patch Kids, everyone has a favourite. But what’s the best flavour of all time? To find out, we put every Sour Patch Kids variety to the test, from classics like Watermelon and Blue Raspberry to limited editions like Ice Pop, Gamerz, and international exclusives from Australia.

For seven days straight, we filmed our taste test journey, ranking each bag until we crowned a winner.

Day 1: Sour Patch Kids Original, Lemonade & Strawberry 

We kicked things off with the OG Sour Patch Kids, Lemonade, and Strawberry.

• Sour Patch Kids OG delivered that classic tang and nostalgia Canadians know so well.

• Sour Patch Kids Lemonade was faint, with less punch than expected.

• Sour Patch Kids Strawberry surprised us with real fruit flavour — juicy, sweet, and refreshing.

 Winner: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry

Day 2: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry vs. Grape & Extreme 

• Sour Patch Kids Grape had slushie vibes (like a 7-Eleven frozen drink).

• Sour Patch Kids Extreme was tasty but not as sour as advertised.

• Sour Patch Kids Strawberry stayed strong with its fresh, authentic fruitiness.

Winner: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry

Day 3: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry vs. Watermelon & Blue Raspberry 

• Sour Patch Kids Watermelon: polarizing, you either love or hate the candy version.

• Sour Patch Kids Blue Raspberry: a fan favourite and tough competition.

• Sour Patch Kids Strawberry stood out for being unique in the lineup and not available in the OG mix.

Winner: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry

Day 4: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry vs. Peach & Ice Pop 

• Sour Patch Kids Peach: juicy, natural-tasting, shaped like mini peaches.

• Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop: when eaten together as a trio, it nailed the frozen treat experience.

• Sour Patch Kids Strawberry still held strong, but competition heated up.

 Winner: Sour Patch Kids Strawberry (holding the crown for four days straight)

Day 5: Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop vs. Apple Harvest & Heads 2-in-1

• Sour Patch Kids Heads 2-in-1: oversized gummies with dual flavours like Pineapple + Red Berry.

• Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop: unique and nostalgic, with that popsicle flavour combination.

Winner: Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop (a new champion!)

Day 6: Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop vs. Gamerz & Sour Cherry Blasters 

• Sour Patch Kids Gamerz (Australia): fun controller shapes, different gummy texture.

• Sour Patch Kids Sour Cherry Blasters: bold cherry, but too maraschino for some.

• Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop kept the crown with its balanced, refreshing flavour.

Winner: Sour Patch Kids Ice Pop

Day 7: Ice Pop vs. Berry (US) & Berry (Australia) 🍓🇦🇺

• Sour Patch Kids Berry (US): solid bag, easy to finish, with tasty strawberry notes.
