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 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 BALLS i 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.

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.

My quest was to find a sour candy that was sour enough to make a friend of ours have his eyes squint from eating them. He popped one into his mouth and I watched as his eyes got smaller. One other person, who tried these, had to spit his out. He couldn't take it. I don't like super sour candy so I didn't even try it. The sourness, from what I am told, only lasts for about 30 seconds. Then you just have nice candy to suck on. What would have been better is to have a chewy candy instead of hard. Was very happy to finally get this order of candy. The first order disappeared somewhere enroute. This box did show up but it was so battered up. I'm surprised it made it. So, for the candy I rate this a 5 star. For delivery I rate it a 1 star.

These are maybe sour for the first 15 seconds then noting , it’s a nasty 15 second I would not even classify it as sour , more than of a Chemical taste to me , I’m see if I can return what a wasted of money . I would recommend sour jolly ranchers that last that full time you sucking on them and taste delicious . All those video reviews must be for attention .

Super duper sour they are not playing. Make your tongue bleed 3 pieces in type sour. Stupendous work.

I was excited to try this candy because of the other reviews about how sour they are but having just tried my first one, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I've had Warheads that were more intense than this. The sour on the outside dissolves quickly and you're left with a large ball of sweet candy. When you bite into it, there's an explosion of "sour" similar to what you get in a Zotz. Even after 3 my tongue is in perfect condition, much unlike what I would find with a Warhead or Toxic Waste. The flavors are good, and I do enjoy them overall, just not the most sour candy I've ever had. My quest continues...

These are definitely sour!! On par with Warheads and Toxic Waste. However, the actually flavors of the candies were strange to me. Maybe it’s just different because these are from the UK and I’m used to US candies. The fizzing in the middle was a surprise as well. Overall, great to try if you are a sour fanatic like I am.

If you're looking for sour look no further. So sour that my eyes close and for a solid minute I can't talk. I'm puckering just thinking about them. I'm an all or nothing kinda person so when I popped the whole thing in my mouth and held on, I was truly holding on. It's a wild ride if you're not enough to board. On the plus side they are what they say they are and they didn't burn my mouth the way other sour candies can. They're flavorful and fun to share. The only kind of negative thing I can say about them is packaging. They come in a nondescript bag with an old style tape closure. No branding or anything but the kind of negative thing is the bag is sticky inside. I guess the only way to get around that would be individual packaging but that would raise the price so I'll take the semi sticky bag. I'm guessing they're melting a little. They're fun though and after you make it past the sour the candy isn't bad either.

Better than expected, 10 times better than warheads and cheaper too!!!!!! I've been a lover of sour sweets for ages and warheads were my go to sweet but these OMG, I am in love!!!!!! If u want a real sour kick buy these!!!!!!!! Sourness lasts about 1minute then left with a fruity flavour which is still slightly sour!!!!!!!! Came before expected, so that's fantastic, would defiantly purchase again

I bought these as a dare folk co workers. They all said they could mange them. Until. They tried them. They were really sour. Gave hours of fun. I did tell folk in advance though

These sweets work better as a prank, shared suffering experience or rite of passage rather than confectionary in my experience. The coating is mega sour, extremely acidic and very chemical tasting. Some of the boiled sweets have a reasonable flavour afterwards, but many are chemical-tasting until the end. The initial sour hit can't be underestimated; you have to keep these between your teeth and pace how much you let them touch your tongue or cheek because a few of these are acidic enough to burn your skin until it bleeds. After about 3 of these, half a day later I had a coffee and realised the sides of my tongue were stinging from eating these. My mum (70) spat one out after 5 seconds, and the next day was still complaining that her lip and tongue hurt. Looking at the bag with 90% of the contents remaining, I decided we'd had our fun with them and they became the only sweets I have ever thrown out. If I found out someone was still eating these after the novelty wore off, I think I would eye them with a great deal of suspicion.

Be very careful when you eat these, as I found that if you let these sweets stay in one spot in your mouth for too long they will burn layers off with their acidity. I suffered this on my tongue as well as the inside of my cheek which was painful for several days, and I am a lover of sour sweets so this would be unbearable to those who are sensitive to such things. Under no circumstances should you let children eat these, and I would strongly advise against using these for any kind of prank due to the pain suffered afterwards. If you eat these carefully, then you come to find they taste quite pleasant once all the sour coating is gone, and contain a much less sour sherbet inside the shell. For the money I paid, I feel like I received a fair amount of these sweets considering I won't be eating them frequently. Definitely do not try to just lick these, as this was how I managed to burn layers off my tongue.

Loved these sweets. Shared them out with friends and done a challenge with them. Pay attention to the warning it comes with though as to many do cause blisters on your tongue.
