Relatable text over candy product from @sourpatchkids

A person holds up a bag of 'Sour Patch Kids Besties' candy, opens it to reveal a single gummy where two 'kids' are holding hands, and then pulls them apart. The entire action is contextualized by a static text overlay that reads 'look it's literally us', framing the candy as a metaphor for a close friendship.
