Sour Candy - Actual sour candy, not wimpy sour candy

[AnOminous]

Lately it seems like there's practically nothing really sour other than the original Warheads and Toxic Waste, which is nearly impossible to find.

And even Warheads are only sour for a few seconds until the thin layer of sour dissolves.

Your posts are pretty sour.

But Sour Patch Kids are the best sour candy, even though they end up sweet. They even have motherfucking ice cream for those hot summer nights: https://www.delish.com/food-news/a19733426/sour-patch-kids-ice-cream/

Sour patch kids are still common where I am.

I stole some off my Co workers desk this morning
It's cool he owes me anyway.

I don't much have a sweet tooth and like bitter so if ever have candy leans to be something like this. I did have a weak spot for sour skittles when they were a thing.

Sour Patch Watermelons were my fucking childhood.

They're not really that sour, though. They're okay, but not really what I want when I want something really, really burn your tongue sour.

Also Warheads has popsicles. They're pretty good, but much like other Warheads spinoff products, nowhere near as sour as the originals.

I'd also like something that is consistently sour throughout the whole candy, not just a thin layer that immediately dissolves. Toxic Waste is better in that department than Warheads, but again, turns into a mediocre sub-Jolly Rancher-tier hard candy.

There's an Asian grocery store/mall somewhat nearby where I live. I've found some pretty sour candy there, but I couldn't translate the names.

I will translate: "Cat Testicles". "Dog Anus sprinkled with Umiboshi Plum". "Your Mom's Vagina". "This Post in candy form".

You're probably right.

Side note: there's an entire store in this mall where the only product for sale is ginseng.

Warheads and shock tarts were the shit when I was a kid. Both are still better than most candy now, but don’t seem as strong as they used to be. My friends and I in junior high figured out how to make our tastebuds bleed with warheads. I don’t think you can do that no more.

There's a sour plum candy that is pretty potent. I can't read moon runes so I don't know what it is.

I like to eat lemon slices. I'm sure it's terrible for my teeth, but I enjoy it.

Both Warheads and Toxic Waste are sold everywhere where I am. I was raised on Soor Plooms so I've got an affinity for anything sour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soor_ploom

Also in Japan one in three candies are sour, but they are usually gummy which I ain't too fond of.

I would always go and get a bag of shockers from the vending machine during my sophomore year of high school. And then the school replaced the candy with health food

and Toxic Waste

Three corner shops within a mile or so of me all stock Toxic Waste, it's everywhere.

Ever had Super Cola?

Looks worth checking out. I'm almost thinking of doing an Amazon haul of some of these funky Japanese candies.

Ever had Super Cola?

I havent. I'm guessing it's a Japanese candy?

You can buy citric acid in bulk on Amazon and sometimes over by the spices. In addition to being an excellent dishwasher booster if you have hard water, it's also the main ingredient in sour candies. Malic acid is in the Toxic Waste candy and is similar, but with an even stronger sour flavor and slight bitterness.

Does Cry Baby gum count? That stuff is so sour that it makes eyes water.
