SOUR PATCH KIDS and UPROXX turned summer in Chicago into a Tropical Escape during\u00a0festival\u00a0weekend, with a pop-up just outside festival grounds headlined both days by dream pop duo\u00a0The Two Lips. SOUR PATCH KIDS and UPROXX brought out games, exclusive swag, SOUR PATCH KIDS-flavored slushies, and activities to the activation, all filtered through the lush tropical lens of SOUR PATCH KIDS Tropical Fruit Mix candy.<\/p>\n
To check the pulse of the crowd, we sent UPROXX\u00a0Sound Check\u00a0host and star creator Jeremy Hecht to chop it up with pairs of fans about their favorite flavors and settle which one of them is the sweet one and which one is sour \u2014 reflecting the dual vibes of SOUR PATCH KIDS \u2014 before hitting them with a question about the most chaotic thing they\u2019ve done recently.<\/p>\n
Hecht also asked the crowd to help him build out a fictional SOUR PATCH KIDS music festival (it\u2019s fictional for now \u2014 let\u2019s do whatever we have to to make it happen), from the rules, to the fits, to the vibes, to how to best light up the dance floor.<\/p>\n
Check out what the fans dreamed up in the video above. But be warned: you\u2019re going to come away with your mouth watering for some SOUR PATCH KIDS.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
