Seems to be rather polarizing for those who have tried them. As far as I could tell, it only came in chicken noodle.

While this new savory hard candy may be a first for the brand, it will have soup fans feeling like they just slurped a spoonful of Progresso’s iconic Chicken Noodle Soup that they know and love. That favorite flavor is packed into each drop — it’s like broth, savory veggies, chicken, soft egg noodles and a hint of parsley have all been stirred up in a surprising way that’s sure to wow your taste buds. And the best part is you can enjoy Soup Drops anywhere — in the carpool line, during a grocery run, while folding laundry, sitting at the doctor's office or hiding out under the covers. The coziness you crave is just one Drop away!​

likely TOXIC like most processed-ultra processed foods!! gotta read labels!!

Nothing terribly toxic about it. But the primary ingredient is isomalt - an alcohol sugar. Too much of it (or other sugar alcohols like sorbitol, mannitol, or xylitol) and it will act like a laxative.
 
Truly goes to show how “limited edition” is an effective marketing tool. They could do that with Flex Seal sealant drops, and it too would be sold out maybe in a week.

I doubt that they're selling them as anything more than a promotion and not as anything that's going to make them a whole lot of money. The price was $2.49 plus 99 cents shipping. But they certainly got a lot of buzz over it.
