Sour Candies

I have always loved Sour Candy since I was a kid. Even to this day I still love to eat Sour Candy more then Chocolate candy fi I get a choice. These are the types of Sour Candies that I remember eating back in the day. Some of them I still eat.

Nerds:

These are not the most sour of candies but I have always enjoyed them. They have a tangy quality that can't be beat. They color your tongue as well. Also by providing two different flavors in one box so your mouth doesn't tired of eating one thing or the other. My favorite brand of Nerds will have to Apple Coated Watermelon/Lemonade Coated Wild Cherry pictured above. These are great and I always try to buy some when I see a Crack Seed Store. The only gripe I have is that the box is kind of small so you have to ration them. They need to sell them in a nice Whoppers Milk Carton.


Sweet Tarts:


These are the perfect combo of Sweet and Sour tastes. I have eaten these for quite a while but one tube lasts quite a long time to me. They are sometimes hard to eat in a large quantity because after a while the acid from them wears down the layer of skin on the insides of your cheeks. I can only eat about 20 or so before I can't enjoy their flavor anymore and I have to take a break. I guess you could probably eat alot more if your crunched them instead of sucking on them until they are totally gone.


Sourpatch Kids:


These are my preferred movie theatre snack. They have a nice sour coating that makes your mouth pucker and then a nice sweet gummy flavor after a few seconds. They are fairly small so the gummy doesn't get stuck in your teeth. Also they come in assorted flavors so you don't tire of just one taste. The best part of them is the pure sour sugar at the bottom of the bag. It is very similar to a really sour Pixy stick. I could eat an entire bag of this sour sugar if I got the chance.


Lemonheads:



I haven't had these in a long time since they are fairly rare in Hawaii. I remember them being very sour at first and then getting sweeter after a while. They are also kind of chewy and get stuck in your teeth quite easily if you aren't careful. Looking at the website they have all sorts of different flavors and should offer them in a rainbow assortment.
