Mike and Ike & Welch's Filled Licorice Giveaway {3 Winners}

Hot off the presses...Can you believe it???

Just Born, Inc., has just confirmed the rumors that the legendary candy duo, Mike and Ike, have parted ways! 

The pair cited irreconcilable creative differences, which has been confirmed by statements from each party suggesting that Mike and Ike will stop collaborating on their famous fruit chewy candies.

The news of split has caused people to be overcome with disbelief.  Therefore, the company has launched the “Tell Us Your Reaction” contest to run from now through June 26^th, 2012.

Entrants must create and submit a video that demonstrates their reaction to the Mike and Ike split. This could show surprise, sadness, disbelief, happiness or whatever emotional reaction the news of the Mike and Ike split evokes. The reaction video should have a maximum running time of 90 seconds. For contest details, check out Mike and Ike's Facebook page!

Frankford Candy has partnered with Welch’s to develop an innovative new entry into the rapidly growing licorice category. By adding a jelly-filling inside a juicy-flavored licorice, Frankford has created a new licorice experience with the introduction of Welch’s  Filled Licorice! 

“We at Frankford Candy are tremendously excited about the debut of Welch’s Filled Licorice,” says Kurt Dungan, VP of Marketing for Frankford Candy, makers of Welch’s Filled Licorice.  “The licorice category doesn’t need just another fruit flavored licorice.  Our goal withWelch’s was to create a unique, great-tasting product that leverages Welch’s brand strength with consumers.  By developing Welch’s Filled Licorice, we’ve combined the bold, fruit flavors you’d expect from Welch’s with a soft, smooth licorice texture that the whole family will enjoy.”

Welch’s Filled Licorice combines a soft licorice outside with a flavorful filling inside.  The unique jelly filling is made with real fruit juice and fruit pectin to deliver real fruit flavors. This new one-of-a-kind licorice treat is a blend of soft and chewy textures with a bold, real fruit filling.  

“We’re proud of what Welch’s and Frankford Candy have accomplished together,” says Lino Marrero, Business Development Manager at Welch’s.  “This is a fun innovation for the category that appeals to a broad audience.  Kids will love the soft, easy to chew texture and the fun jelly filling while adults will appreciate the bolder, real fruit flavors.”  

I recently had the opportunity to try them both out! While my family and I are long-term Mike and Ike fans, we'd never had the Welch's Filled Licorice before.  Hands down the strawberry was our favorite... I hope they consider making big bags of those Licorice because we inhaled them in literally 2 seconds! By the time everyone got some and realized they liked them, they were all gone, lol!
