Cliffhanger.

My own sour gummies, made to show what I do — they’re on no shelf. Four pouches: green apple, blue raspberry, watermelon, lemon. On each, a car of riders at a different top of one rollercoaster.

Ride 1 of 4. The top.

Green apple: a green car of four paper riders, arms up, held on the crest of a rainbow track

Green apple. The car stops on the crest. Four riders, arms up.

Ride 2 of 4. Floating.

Blue raspberry. Over the next hill the riders lift out of their seats.

Watermelon. At the top of the loop they hang, hair and arms falling.

Once, it falls.

The first pouch plays once, by itself, as on the sour candy page.

Side by side, one ride.

Put the four on a shelf and the track runs through all of them.

The four pouches side by side, green apple, blue raspberry, watermelon and lemon, one rainbow track running across them, their sour rings in front
