American Licorice Company has partnered with Alamance Foods to develop and launch SOUR PUNCH flavors with the popular FUNPOPS brand of freeze pops.
Founded in 1914, the American Licorice Company has been delighting consumers with delicious, innovative, and fun candy products for more than a century. Their very popular Sour Punch® brand is a leader in the sour flavor market and has been a staple in the candy aisle for over 30 years.
Wendy Dattilo, American Licorice Product Manager, said:
“We are thrilled up to welcome Alamance Foods and their well-known FunPops® products into the American Licorice Company’s licensing program.”
Alamance Foods, a privately owned manufacturer, and distributor of products including FunPops®, Coffee Toppers®, Whipt® and Classic Cream® branded whipped cream and cream alternatives marks 2025 as its 76th year in business.
Alamance’s President, Nick Wong said,
“We are excited to partner with the American Licorice and Sour Punch® in FunPops® first entry into the world of licensed products. Our teams have been working hard to deliver flavored FunPops® which are consistent with the quality and taste that fans of Sour Punch® and sour candy will love.”
The first products are planned to ship this summer and will feature Sour Punch’s popular Tropical Citrus Surf, Kiwi Lagoon and Peachy Paradise flavors.
