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! (:

    I understand Norway/Sweden/Finland has some type of candy that is exceptionally different. In my head, it is sour, but I can’t find it in a quick search and the name isn’t something I could easily remember…

    Edit: after thinking a bit, I am now pretty sure what I am thinking of is actually a really strong licorice, not a sour candy. Sorry for probably being misleading.

      Salmiak? It’s a licorice coated in ammonium chloride, which gives it a distinct salt/tang flavor. Probably not what they are looking for, but delicious nonetheless.

        Yes! After looking at some photos I am quite sure of it. OP would be disappointed 😬
