Sour Patch Kids Syrup vs Jolly Rancher: Ratios, Flavours, and What to Stock

Sour Patch Kids slush syrup is a licensed frozen-uncarbonated concentrate, sold in 1.89 L (1/2-gallon) bottles. The official flavour idea is “sour then sweet.” Official shelf life on the Redberry and Watermelon product pages is 12 months, and those pages list no allergens. Always confirm against the bottle you receive. This is not the same product as a bag of Sour Patch Kids candy.

The official mix ratio on the Sour Patch Kids and Jolly Rancher product pages is 5:1. That means one part concentrate to five parts water. It is the same math we use in our other 5:1 slush guides. Do not borrow a drink-count figure from a different manufacturer.

Both are licensed 5:1 slush concentrates in the same 1.89 L bottle format, so the mix math is the same. Sour Patch Kids is the sour-then-sweet candy profile, with Redberry and Watermelon listed on Chicken Pieces. Official Sour Patch ingredients include citric, tartaric, and malic acids. Jolly Rancher is the candy-flavour slush line, with strawberry, watermelon, green apple, cherry, grape, fruit punch, and a sugar-free watermelon among the bottles we carry. Choose by the flavour you want on the board, not by a different ratio. We will not declare a taste winner.

Chicken Pieces lists Sour Patch Kids Redberry and Watermelon 1.89 L slush concentrates, but both of those bottle pages, including the 6-bottle case option, were sold out on 13 November 2026. A Redberry pallet of 60 cases × 6 bottles (360 units) was in stock that day and ships to Canada only. Jolly Rancher 1.89 L flavours, including strawberry, were in stock as singles or cases. Check the live product pages before you order, because slush-syrup stock moves.

Strawberry is the flavour operators search for most often, and it is a fair place to start if you want one licensed candy flavour on the board. Watermelon, green apple, cherry, grape, fruit punch, and sugar-free watermelon were also in stock when we checked. Pick the flavour that matches your menu, not a fake ranking. Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry 1.89 L was sold out, and lemon and orange unit pages were not usable listings, so do not plan those two until a live in-stock page exists.

At the official 5:1 ratio, one part concentrate plus five parts water makes six parts finished slush. The arithmetic is 1.89 L × 6 = 11.34 L of finished slush per bottle. That is a volume figure, not a marketing drink count, because cup size changes the cup yield. For a fuller walkthrough of the same math, see what 5:1 slush concentrate means, and how to think about yield, and slushy syrup ratios for commercial machines.

Yes. We stock a 5 lb bag of Maynards Sour Patch Kids candy, which can sit on a counter as a topping or a grab-and-go bag. It is not a substitute for the sold-out 1.89 L syrup bottles. If you want the slush, you need the 1.89 L slush concentrate, not the candy bag.

A Sour Patch Kids Redberry pallet (360 bottles) was in stock when we checked. Pallets ship within Canada only. They do not ship to the USA. If you need product in the United States, wait for an in-stock 1.89 L case or single, which can ship as a non-frozen item at live UPS rates.

Yes, when they are in stock. Non-frozen case and individual items ship to the USA at live UPS rates. Pallets and frozen products ship within Canada only. Orders over $199 CAD qualify for free shipping in Canada only. Processing is usually 3 to 5 business days, and Calgary and the rest of Alberta usually arrive the next day.

We calculate shipping on live carrier rates at checkout, not on flat or subsidized tiers. Every order is priced against real LTL, parcel, or pallet-freight quotes from our Calgary warehouse to your dock. That means you never absorb hidden shipping costs into product margins. What we charge is what the carrier charges us, plus a small handling pass-through. For bulk and pallet orders, the rate is tied to the actual shipment weight and distance.
