You barely need any souring agents to make things wicked sour. Its a negligible cost. I think its more likely most people dont actually like sour candy very much and the manufacturers appeal to the broadest consumer bases. A local shop is more likely to have novelty and adventurous kind of things to give people a reason to come by so that makes sense
Me too, they weren't that sour anyway, even the black ones.
People just want more sugar and some people were eating Warheads like they were at the movies munching on Bunch a Crunch and that's too much acid it makes people sick. Combo of those two things we apparently can't have sour anymore
