When I pulled the lid off, I was struck by how entirely patriotic it was. <\/p>\n<p>The first spoonful surprised me. It instantly reminded me of a summertime treat. It was much tastier and melted more smoothly than I expected.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Sour-Patch-Kids-Rred-White-Blue-Ice-Cream-Sorbet-4.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sour Patch Kids Rred White  Blue Ice Cream  Sorbet 4\" title=\"Sour Patch Kids Rred White &#038; Blue Ice Cream &#038; Sorbet 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lemon is by far the dominant flavor. Visually, I can\u2019t tell the difference between the lemon sorbet and the light vanilla ice cream, but I can taste it. They deliver on the \u201csour, then sweet\u201d promise, with the sorbet being the sour and the ice cream being the sweet. But I wouldn\u2019t call it sour; it\u2019s mildly tart, like lemon sorbet should be, but it\u2019s nowhere near as sour as a true Sour Patch Kid.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to isolate the Redberry swirl, but I did find one good vein so I could taste it without too much of the white stuff. It has a generic candy flavor with the faint taste of Redberry. I don\u2019t know how to describe the texture; it\u2019s soft and melty.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Sour-Patch-Kids-Rred-White-Blue-Ice-Cream-Sorbet-5.jpg?resize=449%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sour Patch Kids Rred White  Blue Ice Cream  Sorbet 5\" title=\"Sour Patch Kids Rred White &#038; Blue Ice Cream &#038; Sorbet 5.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What most surprised me was the blue raspberry bitz. Before tasting the ice cream, I was skeptical. Whenever gummy candy gets cold, it gets super hard. Case in point: I did get some of the new <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2018\/03\/22\/spotted-on-shelves-sour-patch-kids-red-white-blue><\/a>Red, White, and Blue Sour Patch Kids and stuck them in the ice cream, and the cold tips needed to thaw to be chewy. <\/p>\n<p>But these raspberry bitz are not true Sour Patch Kids. They have a much softer texture. So even though it\u2019s cold, it\u2019s not hard at all, and it dissolves and glides slickly down the throat. You could almost eat a bowl of this stuff without ever chewing. Unfortunately, the blue raspberry flavor is faint, at least compared to the lemon sorbet.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even though the red and blue portions have faint flavors, they make the ice cream more interesting and enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I liked this sorbet\/ice cream much more than I expected. But I worry that the marketing will seal its doom. With the bright yellow carton with Sour Patch Kids all over, people will expect it to be super sour, with rock-hard gummy bitz. But that\u2019s not what it is at all. I would have preferred a title like \u201cPatriotic sorbet and ice cream, featuring Sour Patch Kids flavors!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a solid product that I hope returns every year.
