A Review for People Like Me
Honestly I think my experience is kind of an outlier and I am just sort of a freak, especially because my mouth was watering from the negative reviews and not being able to stop thinking about them is what sold me on these. These things are easily the most sour thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. It genuinely tastes like battery acid. And I consider that a great thing. I love getting to eat batteries without having a high likelihood of going to the hospital. (I haven’t done that, but I’ve had the desire. I have not had it since eating these.) Somehow, it doesn’t feel *that* bad, but I honestly can’t imagine how it could be any worse. It is very much an assault on the senses and will make your spit acidic the entire time there’s any coating left. It is impossible to ignore and honestly a little painful—they make the insides of my cheeks raw and my girlfriend says only having a few made her tongue raw for days. If you’re looking for some kind of sensory shock to pull you out of panic attacks or something like that, this is it. The taste of the candies themselves isn’t bad either—once the coating wears off, they mostly just taste like any other hard candy and are pleasant to have in your mouth to recover after the sourness, though I found the orange ones really stood out as the tastiest (and sourest!). Finally, at their core, there is one last burst of sourness in the form of some sort of fluid that gushes out when you finally crunch into them, though thankfully it is much less intense than the powder, easing with that recovery feeling. If you’ve ever been frustrated with sour candies always wearing off, then a sour core is a VERY important selling point. My stomach was very clearly nervously hovering over the puke button the first time I ate one, presumably because it was like “Oh God What The Hell Did You Just Put In Me”, and there were a few pangs of stomach pain, but I was ultimately fine, and it was nothing a few Tums couldn’t fix (but I don’t actually know if Tums can fix this or if it was placebo). Do consider if your own stomach is strong enough to palate these and make sure you’re prepared if you believe it may not be. Also, I wasn’t sure how to work this into the rest of the review, but the different flavors in the mixed one seem to be varyingly sour. I haven’t paid *too* much attention but in order I would say roughly it’s orange > green > red ≈ yellow. Overall, these hit the nail on the head for me. I am exactly the type of person this is the target audience for. If you’re like me and this sounds incredibly appealing, you won’t regret it. Or maybe you will regret it, in a fun way. ^.^

Sour for me! Lol
For me, super sour. For my partner, she liked them but they weren't too much for her.

Sour, Yes but Not Tasty.
These have a great hit of sour that lasts for a decent time but then it fades into a bland, no flavor ball of stuff. They are quite large and split apart easily so not for small kids, imo.

I didn’t know that kind of sour existed, I thought it would be fun to do with my kids, only one of my kids made it. I barely did, very sour.

It’s extremely sour
So I bought this for me and my brother to try. It was extremely extremely sour. My brother had no problem eating it but however after he finished it his tongue hurt. So I’m not very pleased with that.

The worst 30 seconds of your life when you first put in your mouth think of the sourest thing you have had and times it buy 10 then your getting close to these however despite the extreme sourness I would get these again enjoyable after 30 seconds
