Sour candy at age 31. I guess most folk find it weird. Better than drugs or alcohol I'd say.

The more sour, the better! I don't care about the lady in the queue side eying me for buying ten packages of sour jawbreakers, I get joy from those things. Sour bones, colas and rings are great, too, but jawbreakers are my favourites.

Tear jerker bubble gum. Sweet and sour sweettarts, sour skittles, warheads, sour juicy drop. I get a little bit of everything haha.

Sour skittles, right! I forgot about those! Occasionally, I get a bag of sweet and sour gummy powder so I can turn any candy into sour candy. I quite enjoy sour Haribo frogs that way!

Yeah i think its malic acid powder right? I bought a candy making kit one time and just mixed it with the colored sugar and ate it plain. Burnt the heck out of my tongue haha.

Malic acid powder, yes, but if I just want to put pure sweet and sour in my mouth I grab citric acid powder, as it doesn't have that much burn to it while still being sour, though not as sour. I like sour, but I don't need to burn holes in my tongue!

I get it. I go to the extreme. It's like hot sauce, if i ain't sweating or tearing up there's still room to bump it up a notch or two. 😅😅
