Wingstop Surprises Fans With New Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch Flavor Just in Time for Halloween
Guests can discover the new Wingstop Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch, a Halloween-themed blend of a sour-then-sweet redberry glaze.
This Halloween, Wingstop is taking its flavor expertise somewhere few saw coming, teaming up with the Sour Patch Kids brand to create Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch. The Sour Patch Kids brought the “SOUR THEN SWEET” mischief, and Wingstop made it saucy. The result is a candy-meets-wings crossover, one of Wingstop’s wildest flavor creations yet. Created by Wingstop’s Flavor Experts, Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch features a mischievous “SOUR THEN SWEET REDBERRY” glaze finished with Sour Patch Kids Bitz for a wickedly fun twist.
This Wingstop Sour Patch Kids Creation Will Be Around for Halloween Season
Halloween has a way of bringing unlikely duos together, and this year, Wingstop and the Sour Patch Kids candy may be the most unexpected yet. Created by Wingstop’s Flavor Experts, Wicked Punch features a mischievous “SOUR THEN SWEET REDBERRY” glaze finished with Sour Patch Kids Bitz for a wickedly fun twist, available across all proteins.
“Candy on wings? We know exactly what you’re thinking. But no, seriously, it has no business being this good,” said Michael Skipworth, President and CEO of Wingstop. “Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch wings bring sour and sweet together in a way only Wingstop can. It may sound unexpected, but one bite is all it takes to understand why this one is a treat.”
“For the Sour Patch Kids brand, Halloween usually means owning the candy bowl. This year, the Sour Patch Kids brand decided candy wasn’t enough,” said Lauryn McDonough, Senior Director, Candy at Mondelēz International. “This is the first taste of the Sour Patch Kids 13 Days of Mischief program, and transforming our signature SOUR THEN SWEET flavors into a wing flavor is exactly the kind of unexpected mischief our fans love. It brings both brands together in a way that is surprising, playful and delicious.”
When Does the Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch Flavor Arrive?
The Halloween mischief hits the menu Oct. 23, when Club Wingstop members get the first taste of this new flavor through exclusive early access. On Oct. 27, the flavor expands to Wingstop menus nationwide, just in time for Halloween week. Bring it to a costume party, break it out during a scary-movie marathon or serve it after trick-or-treating for one final Halloween dare.
For Halloween fans ready to embrace the mischief, Sour Patch Kids Wicked Punch can be ordered through the Wingstop app or Wingstop.com. But like Halloween itself, the chaos won’t last forever. Wicked Punch disappears after Nov. 5, so try it before the Sour Patch Kids take it back.
