Sour Candy

Sour candy,  yummy! Little sugary candies coated with citric acid. You'd never expect something so potent to be so good, but they are. Certain sour candies are meant to make your mouth burn but others are just good little treats any day. Below we've listed them in order of sourness.

Just a Little Sour
Surf Sweets Sour Berry Bears  These are all-natural, vegan-friendly sweets. They're great for the organic loving, eco-friendly sweet-lover. However, on the sour scale they only have a little punch.	Altoids Sours  These Altoids aren't your typical mints--they are sour little fruit-shaped candies. The mango  and raspberry flavors  are both really interesting.	Chewy Extinguisher  These candies come with two separate compartments, one for sour candies and one for sweet. If you ever eat too many of the sours, just pop a sweet in your mouth and extinguish the burn!

Sour for Some
Twizzlers Sweet and Sour Filled Twists  These are like your regular Twizzlers with a chewy, twisted outside. However, on the inside there's a sour gel that gives it an extra kick. Yay!	Sour Skittles  These Skittles are still the same on the inside: a mixture of different fruits. The only difference is that on the outside they are covered with a sour coating.	Sour Patch Kids  Sour Patch Kids are little fruit gummies coated in sour crystals. You can manage to eat a lot of these but will definitely notice the sour kick by the end of a bag.

Will-burn-holes-in-your-mouth Sour
Toxic Waste  Toxic Waste candy is made in several super sour forms: the first is your typical hard candy. However, these drums of "hazardously sour" candy will make your mouth pucker! If that's not enough, you can torture yourself with some super-sour spray  or sludge bars.  Some of the most popular flavors are sour apple and raspberry.	Warheads  Warheads are one of the most well-known painfully sour treats. They come in little circular, individually wrapped hard candies. Younger kids love them for the challenge of eating something that's so sour it hurts. For a real warheads enthusiast, try Nuclear Warheads  or Warheads sour spray!
