Taste
Where it comes from
Mike and Ike launched in 1940 and the sour version followed the general move towards sour flavours from the 1990s. The brand has extended into dozens of variants, including a version that was sold during a marketing campaign pretending the two characters had fallen out.
What it's made of
Sugar, corn syrup and modified food starch with citric and malic acid and acidity regulators, panned and glazed with carnauba wax and confectioner's glaze.
