American Licorice® Company, one of the original licorice manufacturers in the US candy industry since 1914, launched five product varieties to its Red Vines® and Sour Punch® brands, inspired by support and feedback from fans of both brands.  
 
Driven by a mission to celebrate uniqueness and individuality through its Embrace Your Punch™ initiative, Sour Punch is incorporating its uplifting message into its newest stand-out product, which is unlike any other unveiled by the brand in its 30-year history.  
 
Sweet Bites present an assortment of four new flavors based on fan requests, like Cotton Candy, and are packaged in a collection of six unique Embrace Your Punch themed designs that encourage fans to embrace and appreciate each other’s differences. 
 
Along with Sweet Bites, Sour Punch is debuting the much-anticipated Sour Punch Fan Favorites Bites, featuring fans’ most beloved flavors together in one bag. Furthering its mission to do good, the Sour Punch SIP-N-CHEW™ Straw takes on plastic straws with an eco-friendly, edible drinking straw that is as much fun to drink from as it is to eat. Sour Punch is also adding Grape Straws, social media fans’ most requested product, as a permanent offering in the portfolio.  
 
Each of these fan-inspired products will be available on retail shelves nationwide and online beginning late Fall 2020.
