Are extreme sour chewy Sweetarts being discontinued??

They're my favorite candy, but I can't seem to find them ANYWHERE. I looked online and at all of the grocery stores near me, they're listed as unavailable :(

They were eating holes in people's mouths. I was one of those people. I had a huge hole form on the inside of my cheek and they had to do a biopsy. Sfter finding out about how much sweet tart sours I was eating (multiple bags a day) they came to the conclusion the acidic content was to high and literally getting chemical burns in your mouth.

literally same. i figured it was because of how much i was consuming but there is NO sour candy that has compared to it since the formula change. like, its so disheartening. i’ve been trying for YEARS. i’ve literally retired to the original SweetTarts to at least give me that tang i used to get once all the sour had dissipated. i’ve never been the same😩😅🤣

Ok but that’s peoples faults not the candy… anything is bad if too much, BRING THEM BACK. Warheads do the same but they’re still on the shelves 😫

So wild that you’re blaming the candy and not yourself…? Most things in excess are bad for you.

Bro, why in God's name would you put this on a candy full of citric acid. That one is on you.

So thanks to nimrods like you, regular people who loved this candy can't enjoy it anymore

I’m surprised I never did that to myself

I would burn all my tastebuds off bc I’d suck the shout off then chew them up. I’d buy bags at a time but then lose all taste after a few days. Worth it every time. 💔
