How is a striped candy useful?

Especially in ingredient levels or in levels where there is an isolated jelly, a striped candy is great! When you are looking to hit a particular spot on the board, a striped candy is your best bet. They're also the easiest special candy combination to form.

A striped candy can be strategic too! In some cases, you might need a striped candy more than a wrapped candy. Thanks to the formation shapes of wrapped candies, you can sometimes choose whether or not to form a wrapped candy or a striped candy.
Sometimes, a striped candy is going to help you more (especially if you want to clear a row of meringues/frosted blocks) . To help you visualize this Candy Crush combination, check out the images below!
