Barnetts - Mega Sour Candy Fruits 250g - Trendy Sweet Bags - Traditionally Handmade Sweets - Sour Coating Lasts 20 Seconds - Candies for Party Bag, Gift Hamper, or Hamper Box

UPDATE 2-13-25: these are still the best. I've yet to find a more sour candy out there. I tried the "Black Death" sourballs which are made here in the US, and they were no more sour than Barnett's. Kind of seemed less sour tbh. Also, the rest of the Black Death's brand other sour balls, which look identical to Barnett's are WILDLY overpriced. It's a betrayal on levels no one's ever seen. So I'm stickin' with Barnett's! I just wish I could reliably get an actual mix of all the mega sour fizz balls everytime - sometimes it's that way, and other times it's just the fruits which is a bummer but WHATEVER THESE ARE STILL THE BEST. ------- I LOVE SOUR CANDY. it is VERY hard to find genuinely Sour candy. i consider myself a Sour candy aficionado. some people eat orange slices, i eat lemon slices. why? because Sour. TL;DR: THIS IS THE SOUREST CANDY I HAVE EVER HAD. if you don’t like tongue-burning, eye-tearing Sour candy, don’t buy this. it is not for you. i, however, LOOOVE THEM. i don’t know how i’d never heard of or had them til now (i finally googled ’sourest candy on earth’ and this was the top result), but they have brought me severe, salivating, and acidic joy. NOTES FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY LIKE SOUR CANDY & LEFT A BAD REVIEW, OR DON’T KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY SOUR, SOUR CANDY IS: a lot of the negative reviews for this product are because those people DON’T ACTUALLY WANT SOUR candy - just something mildly tart. like those neon gummy worms (NOT SOUR). some people think they ”love” Sour candy, but really, they just like peach rings with a coat of mildly citric sugar - again, NOT SOUR. even Sweettarts, which i love, NOT SOUR. most of the supermarket run-of-the-mill candy that say SOUR on the bag? NOPE! not really or remotely Sour. and if it burned your kid's tongue maybe DON'T GIVE IT TO YOUR KID!? like handing them a knife and complaining to the company it was too sharp. c'mon now. it also seems that the same people who can’t handle Sour candy complain so much, that countless Sour candies have been discontinued or neutralized. a TRAVESTY. somewhere between 2005-2010 Sour candy started to disappear from stores. by now, all my favorites, gone or completely neutered. some examples: --Shocktarts/Shockers - discontinued. --TearJerker Gumballs - discontinued. --Warheads - neutralized, rendered ineffective, and just not good. --Toxic Waste - one step above Warheads. --Jolly Rancher Sour Surge Hard Candy (SO GOOD) - discontinued in the past year. --Warhead Sour Dippin Pucker Packs - discontinued in the past year. they ruined regular Fun Dip for me, that's how good they were. --Sour Sweettarts (the replacement for Shockers) - neutralized to obscene levels, it is just a lower quality Spree now. so please, PLEASE, don’t leave bad reviews on Sour candy simply because you cannot handle it. if it’s god awful Sour, it delivered on its claim - so give it 5 stars, say it was too sour for you, and go buy some (lowercase sour) Sour Patch Kids. STOP RUINING IT FOR THE REST OF US. for example: i have always LOOOOOVED hot sauce, but after i quit smoking, i couldn’t handle it anymore. i would DIE after round 2 on Hot Ones. i STILL love hot sauce (tapatio, frank’s buffalo, green tobasco, & sriracha) - but i’m not gonna buy a bottle of ghost pepper molten lava, and complain that it burned a hole through my tongue — that would be incredibly stupid of me. what i WOULD say is, ‘my mouth is on fire, i feel like i’m dying, and if you want the hottest hot sauce on earth, this might be for you.’ FOR THOSE WHO WANT TRULY SOUR CANDY: this is it. i’ve not had anything more Sour in… possibly ever. YES it is Expen$ive for the amount you get, but i tapped out after FIVE in 1 day, my tongue peeled (gross but not surprising, i basically got a fresh new tongue the next day), and i took a 1 day break. also, brush your teeth after (an hour after for some reason, idk, google it). and don’t plan on eating anything spicy, probably. or crunchy. or hot. you'll figure it out. SOURHACK: if the roof of your mouth tends to get more irritated and it bothers you, buy a pack of Hi-Chew, put one in your mouth, roll it out so it’s like the plastic part of a retainer on the roof of your mouth, and THEN pop in a mega sour. it does not neutralize the effect. but it does protect the roof of your mouth so you can eat food within then next 12-24 hours. otherwise, enjoy your room temperature broth. Re: MELTED BALLS i see reviews about some of them being stuck together. my pack came as if it looked like half of them melted a bit, and 5 were stuck together - but, because i am an adult who can problem solve, i took an ice pick and easily broke them apart. as for the melted ones? there was NOTHING lost. tasted exactly the same as the crystallized, unmelted ones. lastly, keep them somewhere cool, otherwise they’ll melt just from being in your house. i’m considering the refrigerator. anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I bought Barnetts Mega Sour Candy Fruits mostly out of curiosity because I kept hearing how sour they were, and yeah… they definitely live up to the name. These things hit you with a serious sour punch right away, way stronger than most spur candy you find in stores. That said, once you get past the initial shock, they actually taste really good. The fruit flavors are solid and not weird or artificial tasting. I like that the sour doesn’t just disappear instantly either it sticks around long enough to make it fun, but it’s not unpleasant if you like sour candy. Fair warning though, if you’re not into intense sour, these might be too much. But if you are a sour candy fan, these are awesome and totally worth it. I’ll definitely buy them again and maayyyybe just not eat too many at once lol

This could be more sour. It almost has this bitter effect that is lind of gross rather than sour. Still fun tho!

Most sour candy I've ever had - - I love sour - - and I love this - - This blows everything else away.

Many different flavors me and my friends loved them. If you can do toxic waste there’s a good chance you can do these

Usually when I eat a Warheads or Toxic Waste, there's a sweet, fun and flavorful aspect to the sour candy that I always associated with sour candy. This candy however is pure acidic pain, which I have never before experienced in a sour candy. If you must try this candy, consider it more of a challenge than a treat, like the sour version of a one chip challenge (though the sour pain is nothing compared to the one chip challenge unless your challenge is to eat the whole bag in one sitting). The candy is large but the perfect size and shape to fit exactly between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. After getting through the sour part, the flavor itself is okay. It's not crazy sweet and kinda tastes like bubblegum. After eating only 2 my tongue feels like it's going to start bleeding if I try a 3rd one.

I wanted these to be so crazy sour and they were pretty meh. I don’t see a big difference between them and like warheads or toxic waste. The sour flavor lasts for such a short time and then it’s the same old mediocre hard candy as always except this one is massive for some reason. I did enjoy the sour, it was like a different font of sour than other candies but not really more sour. Also unfortunately my grandma saw these in a ziplock bag and thought they were gumdrops and unsuspectingly seared her taste buds off with the sourness. She said that’s what she gets for eating candy without asking permission. I still felt bad.

If you're looking for a sour treat to quell anxiety temporarily, this is it! I've tried War Heads and Final Boss Level 3 for reference, and I found that the War Heads weren't really sour and quickly turned sweet. Final Boss Level 3 is even less sour than War Heads but as a snack they're actually quite tasty and addicting. These however made my mouth pucker and delivered a strong sour punch. The shock didn't last very long, maybe 30 seconds to a minute? But it was definitely strong and sufficient for its purpose. There was a weird chemical flavor along with the initial sourness but when the sour went away so did that flavor. The sourness was also strong enough to kind of mask the chemical flavor a little bit. Overall, the best sour distraction I've tried so far!

Bonbon tres sur pas les plus surette mais quand meme assez pour vous faire faire une face

Amazing flavor strongly sour

Love this product

Ugh! Disgustingly sour! 😩. This by far is worse than the "warheads". Will FORCE contorted expressions on face. DON'T HAVE ANOTHER ONE, and DON'T EAT A BOWL OF THEM AS A "CHALLENGE". Just make sure your cameras working well when you film it. One eaten is a one off. The sourness will wear off if you are worthy ⚔️🏆. Malic acid at it's best 👍

Better than expected, 10 times better than warheads and cheaper too!!!!!! I've been a lover of sour sweets for ages and warheads were my go to sweet but these OMG, I am in love!!!!!! If u want a real sour kick buy these!!!!!!!! Sourness lasts about 1minute then left with a fruity flavour which is still slightly sour!!!!!!!! Came before expected, so that's fantastic, would defiantly purchase again
