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.

Holy MACKREL. This thing is INTENSE. Everyone that has tried this hasn't been able to handle more than about 5 seconds. I do recommend if you're super sensitive to taste, you make note that these things might actually might you vomit. They are insanely sour! I missed the best video of my husband who thought this was a normal candy. The sounds that came from the living room and the gagging that ensued literally had me in stitches for hours. This is DEFINITELY the most sour thing we've ever tasted - and the taste stays on your tongue for a LONG time. I tried to get past the sour taste personally to enjoy the candy, but the sourness on my cheeks was entirely too much for me to bear. I found my face sucking inwards! Drinks are ruined afterwards, too. Everything tastes like sour sour sour! Really great product, but be warned. This isn't for the weak!

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!

REALLY disappointed with these. I love sour candy and couldn't pass when I found these claiming to be the most sour candy out there. So I got some. They're worth getting once for fun/a party or something. The flavor is disgusting, it's like an old moth and floor cleaner. The amount of sour IS overwhelming which is cool, but it isn't a normal sour. Like when you eat warheads that's a ton of sour, but this was almost like the tongue going into shock. So it produces massive amounts of saliva to drown it out, so you're choking it back trying to suck on it, then the sourness burns your tongue immediately. It feels like if you've ever pressed both sides of a battery to your tongue. It's not really a SHOCK, but this slow burning buzzing slowly destroying the cells within the tongue. That's what these are doing. All of it with the saliva and shock and everything is so overwhelming it really isn't even fun to suck on them, I spit out the second one because it wasn't worth it. And the first I spit out after all the sour was gone because of the taste. That's the other thing, the sour lasts a good 45-60 seconds, which is cool. Again, it's worth trying, but they were not GOOD, they were quite terrible actually.

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

Exactly as ordered. Some of the most sour candy you can get and I love it.

Let me start by saying I thought I was tough. I eat jalapeños like they're breath mints. I once bit into a lemon just to flex on a toddler. But Barnetts Mega Sour Fruits? Oh, sweet citrusy betrayal. I popped one in my mouth with the confidence of a man who’s never known fear. The first second was all lies—sweet, tangy, delightful. Then BAM. It was like licking a car battery during a lightning storm. My tongue shriveled, my soul left my body, and I saw a brief slideshow of my life decisions. Two more candies in (because I don’t learn), and I swear my taste buds packed their bags and left. I now speak exclusively in a hoarse whisper and can only taste colors. I’m pretty sure I have a chemical burn. My tongue feels like it’s been exfoliated with sandpaper dipped in lemon juice. 10/10 would recommend—for enemies, prank wars, or extreme sport enthusiasts. Bonus: My dog licked the wrapper and hasn't looked me in the eye since.

bought them to share with a coworker that said they loved sour candy and missed how sour things were when they were a kid. unfortunately for them, their face puckered up when the candy went in their mouth. sour candy isn't really my thing, but these aren't as "mega sour" as they claim.

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

These were very good. The flavour underneath tastes great and the sour on the outside is very strong. Some of the other reviews describe them as unedible but to be honest I think they are manageable for fans of the sour taste. Wouldnt eat more than 3 in a day tho or your tongue will be like sandpaper and your teeth like the walls of a 50 years smokers council house.

Amazing flavor strongly sour

Love this product

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
