My mother was reminiscing about things we miss from the past. One thing she mentioned was Shocktarts. She loved Shocktarts! One of the few things she indulged in.

Recently, she got my nieces Christmas candy, and it included rainbow sour strips of some kind. Uncharacteristically, she ate a whole pack by herself.

I’d like to get some good sour candies. They have to actually be sour!!! Any recommendations welcome!

Although do note that candys whose main feature is “being sour” then fading after 4 seconds are not what I’m looking for.

Thank you! (:

    Do they still make Warheads? Those were the sour candy when I was growing up, lol.

      Yeah, but the sour only lasts for literally 5 seconds then it’s completely gone. ):

        I think that’s probably a good thing. I’ve eaten so many warheads the skin started to come off my tongue.

          Anyone know why that is?

          My assumption is acid eating away some component of the skin

      1 warhead = 10 lemons.

      Still make them and you can buy them by the flavor off Amazon. I bought a box of black cherry and blue raspberry last year. I recieved blue raspberry Larry Taffy instead of Warheads, so I throw those fuckers in malic acid and lost a layer of skin on my tongue, so worth it.
