Dweebs were discontinued), and also a larger version. Nerds are often sold in both single packs and side-by-side packs which offer one sour and one sweet version of the candy.

Going green doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Actually, there are many aspects of being environmentally friendly which have no cost.
