Mega Sour Assortment - 250g

I LOVE SOUR CANDY. it is VERY hard to find genuinely Sour candy. i consider myself a Sour candy aficionado. some people eat orange slices, i eat lemon slices. why? because Sour.TL;DR: THIS IS THE SOUREST CANDY I HAVE EVER HAD. if you don’t like tongue-burning, eye-tearing Sour candy, don’t buy this. it is not for you. i, however, LOOOVE THEM. i don’t know how i’d never heard of or had them til now (i finally googled ’sourest candy on earth’ and this was the top result), but they have brought me severe, salivating, and acidic joy.NOTES FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY LIKE SOUR CANDY AND LEFT A BAD REVIEW, OR DON’T KNOW WHAT TRULY SOUR, SOUR CANDY IS:a lot of the negative reviews for this product are because those people DON’T ACTUALLY WANT SOUR candy - just something mildly tart. like those neon gummy worms (NOT SOUR).some people think they ”love” Sour candy, but really, they just like sour peach rings with a coat of mildly citric sugar - again, NOT SOUR. even Sweettarts, which i love, NOT SOUR. most of the supermarket run-of-the-mill candy that say SOUR on the bag? NOPE! not actually sour and not remotely Sour.it also seems that the same people who can’t handle Sour candy complain so much, that countless Sour candies have been discontinued or neutralized. a TRAVESTY. somewhere between 2005-2010 Sour candy started to disappear from stores. by now, all my favorites, gone or completely neutered.some examples:Shocktarts/Shockers - discontinued. TearJerker Gumballs - discontinued. Warheads - neutralized, tendered ineffective, and just not good. Jolly Rancher Sour Surge Hard Candy (SO GOOD) - discontinued in the past year. Warhead Sour Dippin Pucker Packs - discontinued in the past year. Sour Sweettarts (the replacement for Shockers) - neutralized to obscene levels, is just Spree now.so please, PLEASE, don’t leave bad reviews on Sour candy simply because you cannot handle it. if it’s god awful Sour, it delivered on its claim - so give it 5 stars, say it was too sour for you, and go buy some (lowercase sour) Sour Patch Kids.for example: i have always LOOOOOVED hot sauce, but after i quit smoking, i couldn’t handle it anymore. i would DIE after round 2 on Hot Ones. i STILL love hot sauce (tapatio, frank’s buffalo, green tobasco, & sriracha) - but i’m not gonna buy a bottle of ghost pepper molten lava, and complain that it burned a hole through my tongue — that would be incredibly stupid of me. what i WOULD say is, ‘my mouth is on fire, i feel like i’m dying, and if you want the hottest hot sauce on earth, this might be for you.’FOR THOSE WHO WANT TRULY SOUR CANDY:this is it. i’ve not had anything more Sour in… possibly ever. my quest to find actually Sour, sour candy is over. YES it is Expen$ive for the amount you get, but i tapped out after THREE in 1 day, my tongue peeled (gross but not surprising, i basically got a fresh new tongue the next day), and i took a 1 day break. also, brush your teeth as soon as you can (take it from me, a lemon eater), and don’t plan on eating anything spicy, probably.SOURHACK: if the roof of your mouth tends to get more irritated and it bothers you, buy a pack of Hi-Chew, put one in your mouth, roll it out so it’s like the plastic part of a retainer on the roof of your mouth, and THEN pop in a mega sour. it does not neutralize the effect. but it does protect the roof of your mouth so you can eat food within then next 12-24 hours. otherwise, enjoy your room temperature broth.Re: MELTED BALLSi see reviews about some of them being stuck together. my park came as if it looked like half of them melted a bit, and 5 were stuck together - but, because am an adult who can problem solve, i took an ice pick and easily broke them apart. as for the melted ones? there was NOTHING lost. tasted exactly thee same as the crystallized, unmelted ones. lastly, keep them somewhere cool, otherwise they’ll melt just from being in your house. i’m considering the refrigerator.anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Really good

The item is described as gum. It is not. It is a hard candy. The flavor is not enjoyable. The sour dust coating it is anything but pleasurable. Disappointing that this is not returnable as you have to open the package and try one before you realize that the description is deceiving. You want sour gum? Look elsewhere.

Thought it would turn to gum afterwards but no. It is sour and I can feel my tastebuds trying to recuperate but other than that it’s ok.

I am a sour candy enthusiast and decided to go shop online for my sweet tooth. I discovered Barnett's mega sours were among the most sour candies out right now. Upon receiving these, I immediately tried one to see what the hype was all about. Upon consuming the my first candy, I was disappointing to see that it was not as sour as I hoped for. More like a Circle K shitty peach rings sour. I put the bag down and tried the same one a couple days later. Man, it was sour. The kind of sour that tears your tongue up and makes you want to spit the candy out. It was a jawbreaker sized candy with more surface area than a warheads. The fizz was longer lasting than Zotts. I was content.Although, it was odd to discover different tasting candy that came from a loosely packaged bag from another country. There were pieces that were not as sour as the other ones of the same color and assortment. It is almost like they were a dud. Has anyone else noticed this? I have tried the candy on three different occasions, it seems to not be dependent on color, almost like there are "fake" mega sours mixed throughout the candy.From my experience it would appear that some of candies in the package are not the same brand.

Usually when I eat a Warheads or Toxic Waste, there's a sweet, fun and flavorful aspect to the sour candy that I always associated with sour candy. This candy however is pure acidic pain, which I have never before experienced in a sour candy.If you must try this candy, consider it more of a challenge than a treat, like the sour version of a one chip challenge (though the sour pain is nothing compared to the one chip challenge unless your challenge is to eat the whole bag in one sitting).The candy is large but the perfect size and shape to fit exactly between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.After getting through the sour part, the flavor itself is okay. It's not crazy sweet and kinda tastes like bubblegum. After eating only 2 my tongue feels like it's going to start bleeding if I try a 3rd one.

I’m a sour candy fanatic so when I heard about the alleged potency of these I had to order some. They came well packaged, nothing melted or broken. The experience of eating these comes in stages. The first sour twang hit me like a mouth watering, tongue puckering freight train and I loved every second of it! The intensity of that sourness can’t be overstated, other reviewers were not exaggerating. That only lasted about 30 seconds before it mellowed and I was left with a pleasant, tasty piece of hard candy. Then once cracks formed in the outer shell the fizzy inner powder began to leak out which made for a fun sensation. I was impressed by how long the candy ball took to dissolve before I was left with a few crunchable bits. I enjoyed every flavor except for the rhubarb custard—fine, but I’m okay if I don’t eat that one again. The cola flavor is my favorite. I caution against eating more than one or two a day, honestly. Even after waiting a few hours between them my mouth got a little irritated after indulging in a second. That said I’m addicted and will probably order more soon!

I love very sour candy, i find most like warheads tend to be jokes with good flavor but no real punch so when i heard that these were really sour i was excited. I will say that yes there is no denying these are agressivly quite sour. The issue here is with the rest of the candy. The candy its self is almost flavorless. this is akin to those super hot sauses that are all heat no flavor.
