SweeTarts (officialy stylized as SweeTARTS) are sweet and sour
candies invented by J. Fish Smith, the owner of Sunline. The
tablets were created using the same basic recipe as the already
popular Pixy Stix and Lik-M-Aid products, in response to parents'
requests for a less-messy candy. In 1963, SweeTarts were introduced
with the same flavors as the popular Pixy Stix: cherry, grape,
lemon, lime, and orange. The Sunline company was later bought by
Rowntree Mackintosh, of the United Kingdom, which was, in turn,
taken over by Nestlé. Nestlé rolled the SweeTarts family of candies
into the already-existing Willy Wonka Candy Company family of
brands. The current flavors in the SweeTarts roll are: pickled
punch (blue), cherry (pink), grape (purple), worm apple (green),
lemon (yellow), and orange (orange). In 2001, Nestlé chose to
replace the original lime with green apple. Also, the flavors are
more tart now than in the past. The name is usually pronounced [swi
ta(r)ts], with gemination appropriate to the wording "sweet tarts"
even though the brand has only one medial t.
