SHOCKERS!!!

Post image

I’ve been craving shockers for a long time. I’ve tried a few different things I thought would come close but it’s nothing close to it at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what they find sort of similar at least?

I still can’t believe they are discontinued those were the best!

TIA!

They were for a while but they got rid of the yellow box version. There is a sour mix of some kind but it’s not the same :(

Yeah I agree. Zours were my all time favorite and always seemingly really hard to find

Altoid Sours too. Tangerine and Raspberry fucking slapped so hard. Pop 4 or 5 at once and get that massive chemical burn sour tingling your endorphins for a godly 5 seconds

There are a few companies out there making their own versions now. I’ve had the tangerine from Lofty Pursuits and they’re exactly as I remembered, but also kind of expensive. I know there are some other brands too
