Peppermint Stick

Peppermint Stick is a blocker in Candy Crush Soda Saga. Its first appearance was in the 67th episode, Wonky Workroom. They first appeared at Level 1106 (which used to be the only level that was impossible to fail). However, due to a redesign, the first level that features Peppermint Sticks is Level 646.

Properties[]

It is a blocker which can take up two to nine squares in a straight line (horizontally and vertically) and can be destroyed by lighting up all stripes on it (by matching candies next to it or by hitting it with special candies). Another strange, just like liquorice swirls, peppermint stick blocks the effects of striped candies. If a striped candy hits, it will get rid of the blocker but won't get rid of any other candies or blockers beyond it. This can become a disaster when trying to deal with them.

When all stripes on the peppermint stick are lit up, it will explode, create the equivalent of a striped candy + striped candy combination for every square it occupied.
The Peppermint Stick has two stripes for every square it occupies, i.e. a peppermint stick which occupies three spaces will have 6 stripes and will, therefore, need to be hit 6 times. When it explodes it will release a shock wave to all sides of it, including the top and bottom. You can see it as multiple Striped Candies in one explosion.
Color bomb + Color bomb can light one red stripe on the peppermint stick, while Color bomb + coloring candy can light up all at once.
Lighting up all red stripes will grant 3,000 points (9,000 if the last hit is via special candy).
