Decent Sour Sweets

    Today I bought a packet of new Rowntrees "Super Sour Jellies". I bought them, thinking they might actually be sour (silly me). Very disappointing, they aren't sour whatsoever.

    The only things that seem to come close to satisfying my sourness needs seem to be Sour Starbursts and Sour Skittles, and even then, those are relatively weak.

    Can anyone suggest some really sour sweets to try?

    Maybe I'm just immune to sourness at this stage after years of abuse to my tastebuds :D

    Sour.

    I'm the same, I find all these so called 'sour' sweets so pedestrian! I remember there used to be a red & yellow lolly which really really made your cheeks ting.

    Head down to an asian supermarket and you can pick up granulated citric acid for sweet n sour dishes. These are the crystals you see on "fizzy cola bottles" etc. 100% sour :)

    Yeah I bought a pack today, CRAP I say.
    You can get Haribo Tangfastics, they're a bit sour. Or in lidl/aldi they have Apple Loops sweets, they're a bit sour too.

    I was charged €1.50 for the barrell/packet in my local newsagents,
    There is also a toxic waste bar but its not sour.
    Anyway i found them really sour and i recommend you try them.

    Watch this kids face after having eight of them at one lol:

    Edit: These can be bought online also if you can't get them in any local shops.
