I was wondering if anyone has tried the Walmart better goods sour candies and if they’re any good. I’ve been trying to find better anxiety coping methods and sour candy was recommended. I just don’t want something with a whole bunch of dyes and artificial flavors. Has anyone tried these? Also looking for other recs!!!
Pretty sour and the texture is wonderful. Flavors are: strawberry-lemon, blue raspberry-peach, and cherry-cola
Before I became vegan sour candy was one of my favorite treats. These FINAL BOSS SOUR CANDIES are the best. Check if you have them in your area. Definitely a must try!
They used to actually be kinda sour, I just got a bag and they are hardly distinguishable from regular skittles besides the powder coating on them. I even made my bf who dislikes sour candy try them and he said they taste like normal skittles. Who decided to nerf the skittles??? Why does all of the good sour candy get taken away? :(
Does anyone have a list of sour candies/snacks I could try out for sensory shocking/nervous system interruptions during episodes..? I keep planning to make a proper stash for my DBT box but the moment I try to think of some my mind goes blank 😭. So far I have popping rocks (not sour but I like the texture/sensation), warheads and sour patch kids written down to get. Preferably I'd like stuff that's available in Canada but I'd be open to ordering stuff online if you think they're worth it, and/or if they come in bulk!!
And, while I'm at it, does anyone have any recommendations for additional other stuff to add to my DBT box? So far I've got a few fidget/stress toys, worry stones, other texture sensory toys, scents that comfort me, noise-cancelling headphones, blackout eye masks, and cold head wraps as well as ice packs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance if anyone answers, either way I hope you have a lovely rest of your day/night 🩵🩵
Found these at Dollar Tree. Definitely my new favorite sour candy. They’re pretty sour, and have a really nice texture. 10/10 😌🤌
If you guys haven’t tried these, I would definitely get your hands on some. Great price, fantastic texture, delicious and sour all the way through. Can’t recommend enough.
Had these while visiting Europe a few years ago and they’re the greatest sour candy I’ve ever had. They’re strawberry apple “wrenches” and I believe the brand is Grahns. I haven’t been able to find them in stock anywhere. Does anyone know if they still exist?
I’m a harsh critic, but these check every box for me, currently my #1
The popd skittles make me drool
I love these I think about them 24/7
To those who don't know, one of the major reasons that sour skittles are as sour as they are (were) is not due to the composition of the coating (which is primarily citric acid) but the shape
If you look up pictures of the skittles themselves, you'll see that the granuals are large. The way that the citric acid sugar blend was ground up, was particularly course and sharp which would abrase the tounge, causing a cycle of wounds, allowing for more acid to interact and hurt the tounge, causing more wounds and more acid.
I would eat these until my tounge bled - no exaggeration.
But I just bought a new bag and - to my immense disappointment, the course shards are gone, they are now coated in a fine powder, that is only slightly more sour than average. And certainly doesn't hurt you. It's just.... Okay.
Unless this was just a batch error.... Rip to one of the greats.
Hi, I really want to order some candy from a pick n mix type company like Poppin Candy. I have seen mixed reviews on Poppin Candy, particularly when it comes to price and quality of the actual candy (seen that a lot of it is stale). Are there alternatives that anyone recommends? Preferably with a large selection and the option to choose your candy. TIA :)
Just specialty flavor Gushers IMO. Still yummy because Gushers but not for the sour-seeking!
Found these today at my local HyVee grocery store. I like the original sour skittles but these are freaking good as well, if you like the sour skittles and the wild berry ones this is the perfect match for you.
🗣💬 ALRIGHT FELLAS, I'm back with another sour candy review. I did NOT expect to do another so soon HOWEVER, this arrived in the mail today, so I am back 👍
❓️Openability: 10/10 SO EASY. Mightve been the easiest sour candy package I have EVER opened. Literally awesome.
❓️Smell: Smells.. natural! Got a whiff similar to Fruit By The Foot at first, but it– wow. Giving it a proper sniff it's really unlike any sour candy I've ever smelled. Lots of natural ingredients like potato starch & fruit purees likely contributing to the "natural" smell.
❓️Cutability: er... 3/10. I suspect it might have poor toothability.... Texture is similar to some ~Natural~ melatonin gummies I've had before, so I'm not anticipating I'll enjoy the texture, but thats not to say I'll *dislike* it.
❓️Toothability: Oooohhh. No. No. Sticks to teeth immidiately. It doesn't, like, *hurt*? But it definitely sticks to the teeth. It's kinda unpleasant to chew in my personal experience.
❓️Taste: WOW. SOUR. They're not kidding when they call themselves sour boys! What number is this? 26? Is that 26/100? (No way...) It's impressively sour!
Lemme try another. (Ughhh it's sticking to my teeth! Ugh!) Wait these are yummyyy, whattt. The sourness is a little inconsistent? I got one that was much sourer than the others. But it's ALWAYS sour, ALWAYS ☝️above☝️ 5/10 sour, CONSISTENTLY. Even if it varies *slightly* it's never "not sour".
I feel as though, if I eat many more of these, my tongue will be shredded! But I like the flavor. It's NOT very mouth-puckering to be honest... but it's very tongue-shredding lol.
Maaaan that's dangerous; I could keep popping these in my mouth forever, hahahahaha. I'm gonna put them away. Their shape is definitely a 10/10. Maybe I should add a category for that?
❓️Sour: 7/10
Sourness just ALMOST on-par with Sour Punch, Sour Strips. A satisfying sour experience for sure!!
❓️Flavor:
💥*Biased* impression? 😐3/10😐. I love watermelon. I love coconut. I don't taste either, *especially* not coconut. There's NONE. If someone told me this was a strawberry candy I'd believe them. I was really lookin forward to that beautiful watermelon or coconut flavor coming through and I just didn't taste it.
💥*Less biased* impression: If this was labeled a strawberry candy I would say 🎉7.1/10🎉; It's really solid!! Not my all time favorite but DEFINITELY one of the better ones I've had on my sour candy tasting experience.
❓️Overall: 6/10
"What!? But flavor and sour is 7/10! Why 6/10?" Toothability. It sucks. I don't like the chewing experience lol. Also no coconut! I feel scammed hahaha! (Not literally, I actually got a really good deal on these lol.)
Would I buy again? No. I would not.
But would I reccomend to others? Yeah sure, if you like gummy-style candy, I would totally reccomend. It's not a straight up gummy texture, but the shape & poppability of these little dudes is toooo addictive & seems like it would appeal to that audience (which I am not a part of admittedly).
Thanks for coming along for yet another ☆sour candy review☆
Bye
