Retro Sours are back with four new flavors\u2014Watermelon, Passionfruit, Raspberry, and Mango\u2014but there\u2019s one important detail to note: you\u2019ll only be able to get them for five weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The expanded flavor drop comes from Iconic Candy, the company behind the nostalgia-driven line, and follows the brand\u2019s earlier Target launch in November. That first run brought Retro Sours back to shelves in three flavors and disappeared so fast that the company is already back with more.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">According to the brand, the expanded lineup is a direct response to that customer demand, which happened as quickly as it did. With the earlier drop sold through in just a matter of weeks, this follow-up seems aimed at people who missed out the first time, as well as anyone ready to stock up again.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-1k29q50 e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Candy containers featuring different flavors arranged in a colorful grid.\" title=\"Candy containers featuring different flavors arranged in a colorful grid.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1040\" height=\"1708\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/0b3d7a70-2875-4807-aebe-e417c5927a32.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Iconic Candy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cWe&#8217;ve been hearing it nonstop\u2014customers have been begging for more Retro Sours flavors at Target,\u201d Iconic Candy co-founder Kim Wiesen said in the announcement. \u201cSo we gave it to them. This expansion is directly driven by our fans and what they want to see on shelves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">This time around, the lineup leans into a wider mix of fruit flavors\u2014some classic, some a little less expected\u2014joining the Target assortment. Altogether, it feels less like a one-off restock and more like the brand trying to prove the comeback has some legs.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;We&#8217;re creating moments, not just products,&#8221; Wiesen added. &#8220;If you see them in-store, grab them\u2014because once they&#8217;re gone, they&#8217;re gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So if you were one of the people who missed the first restock, or if you just like your candy with a little more bite, you\u2019ve got another shot.
