Review: SOUR BATH BOMB FOR YOUR MOUTH. - 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.
Review: YIKES!!!! Sour is an understatement! - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sour Punch for Distraction from Anxiety; Stronger Than War Heads
*by S***K on July 24, 2025*

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!
