Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Sour Patch Kids (known as Very Bad Kids in France,[1] and known as Maynards Sour Patch Kids in Canada and previously in the UK) are a brand of soft candy with a coating of invert sugar and sour sugar (a combination of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sugar).[2] The tartaric and citric acids provide the candy with a sharp burst of tartness, while the inverted sugar gives the soft gummy its sweet flavor.[3] Sour Patch Kids Extreme, which contains lactic acid in addition to the tartaric and citric acids, is considered the sourest variation in the Sour Patch line of candies.[3] The slogans "Sour Then Sweet" and "Sour. Sweet. Gone." refer to the candy's sour-to-sweet taste.[4]
