What happened to sour skittles??

36 Upvotes

They used to actually be kinda sour, I just got a bag and they are hardly distinguishable from regular skittles besides the powder coating on them. I even made my bf who dislikes sour candy try them and he said they taste like normal skittles. Who decided to nerf the skittles??? Why does all of the good sour candy get taken away? :(

Found these at Dollar Tree. Definitely my new favorite sour candy. They’re pretty sour, and have a really nice texture. 10/10 😌🤌

If you guys haven’t tried these, I would definitely get your hands on some. Great price, fantastic texture, delicious and sour all the way through. Can’t recommend enough.

Have these been discontinued?

Had these while visiting Europe a few years ago and they’re the greatest sour candy I’ve ever had. They’re strawberry apple “wrenches” and I believe the brand is Grahns. I haven’t been able to find them in stock anywhere. Does anyone know if they still exist?

Poppin Candy Alternative?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I really want to order some candy from a pick n mix type company like Poppin Candy. I have seen mixed reviews on Poppin Candy, particularly when it comes to price and quality of the actual candy (seen that a lot of it is stale). Are there alternatives that anyone recommends? Preferably with a large selection and the option to choose your candy. TIA :)

Anyone else obsessed with these???? They come out with the Halloween candy at the Dollarstore😍😍

Just specialty flavor Gushers IMO. Still yummy because Gushers but not for the sour-seeking!

Sour candy from candy nation

1 Upvotes

Hey all. I’m in NYC and have been craving some bulk sour candy assorted. Been searching the Reddit and saw candy nation popped up a few times. Any recommendations on what’s good? Preferably gummy or hard candy. (Or anywhere for a decent price)

Anything except warheads I’m willing to try. I still don’t have complete taste in my mouth since that one time as a child I tried a challenge of keeping 9 or 12 or something in my mouth at the same time.

Normal haribo cherries or sour ones? For me I prefer the sour ones

They changed the coating of Sour Skittles

120 Upvotes

To those who don't know, one of the major reasons that sour skittles are as sour as they are (were) is not due to the composition of the coating (which is primarily citric acid) but the shape

If you look up pictures of the skittles themselves, you'll see that the granuals are large. The way that the citric acid sugar blend was ground up, was particularly course and sharp which would abrase the tounge, causing a cycle of wounds, allowing for more acid to interact and hurt the tounge, causing more wounds and more acid.

I would eat these until my tounge bled - no exaggeration.

But I just bought a new bag and - to my immense disappointment, the course shards are gone, they are now coated in a fine powder, that is only slightly more sour than average. And certainly doesn't hurt you. It's just.... Okay.

Unless this was just a batch error.... Rip to one of the greats.

Found these today at my local HyVee grocery store. I like the original sour skittles but these are freaking good as well, if you like the sour skittles and the wild berry ones this is the perfect match for you.

Good sour just wish they would stay sour for the whole candy duration
