10 Reasons It Was Sweet to Be an '80s Kid

Sour Patch Kids were originally manufactured in Canada in the shape of martians because of the space enthusiasm of the '70s. The sour candies made their debut in the US in 1985 in the shape of children to feed into the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the '80s (how many Cabbage Patch dolls did you have?!). Kids may remember daring one another to eat an entire king-size package of Sour Patch Kids without their tongue bleeding — it's an impossible feat.
