GoodPop, a viral category leader in better-for-you frozen treats, launches the first real fruit pop inspired by sour candy, made with a fruit juice base and a patent pending sour candy-coating inspired by the booming sour candy trend. The pops are now available in two variety packs, one with Cherry & Melon and another featuring Green Apple & Lemonade, and sold at retailers nationwide—including Whole Foods, Wegmans, HEB and Costco San Francisco locations.

Fruit Sours are an ambitious continuation of GoodPop’s broader innovation strategy of translating popular modern treats into frozen creations, with more creative launches to come throughout the year. This first-of-its-kind pop was born out of overwhelming consumer enthusiasm for GoodPop's 2025 SmartSweets summer collaboration—frozen Sourmelon Pop Bites that sold out in mere minutes, demonstrating exceptionally strong demand for frozen treats featuring bold, sour flavors. 

In creating Fruit Sours, GoodPop looked to beloved candy aisles for inspiration—the Cherry & Melon pack in particular was inspired by red & pink candy flavor favorites. Fruit Sours deliver a one-of-a-kind texture, thanks to an innovative patent-pending process that perfectly coats each frozen pop in a vibrant layer of tangy sour powder. The unique coating lends each lick its own flavor journey, with the real fruit base balancing out the tart exteriors. 

The photography captures the candy coating’s rich texture in vivid detail, while bold graphics set Fruit Sours apart from GoodPop’s core lineup, signaling a launch unlike anything before. GoodPop’s Fruit Sours are the first better-for-you alternative with only 3 grams of added sugar (10 grams total)—83% less than the leading frozen sour pop. 

“I’m thrilled to introduce Fruit Sours, which bring a brand new experience to the line. Sour is everywhere (and a personal favorite), so we’re proud to offer the first sour pop made with real fruit and less added sugar," said GoodPop Founder and CEO Daniel Goetz. “Our goal at GoodPop is to bring innovation into the frozen category while meeting our very high nutrition and ingredient standards. Our proprietary sour candy coating brings an added layer of whimsy and delight to a rapidly rising category and I can’t wait for people to try them.”
