[milly balgeary]

I got this whole drawer fulla Swedish Fish, they're basically Sour Patch Kids without the sour.

So I guess nothin

Some of the warheads cubes are delicious and others not so much. I prefer the hard candy myself.

I have a deep, abiding love for sour patch kids, sour patch watermelon and sour punch straws. Not the sour punch bits though -- something about that configuration totally ruins them. At any rate, I go through a lot of the sour patch kids around here, so they're my number 1!

[milly balgeary]

I've had swedish fish. Have you had the berry patch kids?

[clare]

Trolli sour worms. Could eat them all day. Warheads are good, but I've never had the sour patch kids ones. My first introduction to sour candy was in Japan where I got something called "hee hee sour candy" in the shape of lemons. It was probably the most sour thing I'd ever had up to that point and I was totally hooked.

I'm with clare. but really I'm with the Cathy candy camp: CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! AAACK!

[mixed cats]

Sour worms. Those neon little things. Love.

We used to eat Warheads and Eyepoppers gum when we were kids but the fascination did not last for me.

[Good Intentions]

I never met a sour worm I didn't like.

[Lucy]

Oh yes, the trolli sour worms! For sure!

Have not tried the berry sour patch -- not convinced they're a good idea, but I'm sure I'll cave and attempt them at some point.

I remember when Tearjerkers and Crybabies came out -- that was my first sour candy experience, probably around 5th grade, passing them around in the back of the bus on the way to school. One of the kids who sat back there had a mom who worked at a Willy Wonka packaging plant or something, and he always had sacks of candy to give out. Instant best friend status, right there.

These days, my favorite sour candy is probably the gummi worms or cherry sours. But I am damn interested in those chewy cubes.

I rarely eat candy--more of a salty tooth than a sweet tooth--but if I could easily obtain gelatin-free sour gummy worms I would definitely eat some of those.

[RoyBiggins]

This thread just made my mouth water uncontrollably. Neat!

I find them every once in a while, and buy twelve bags
What I really want is gelatin free peach gummies.

We have these things here I only recently discovered that you buy in pick&mix bins at the supermarket. They are known as "tangy sticks".

Taste more like soft, sour, amazingness than the coloured chalk they resemble. I ate a bag of these a couple weeks ago and have had to take a break; they're just too addictive, and left to my own devices I would eat them til my head aches and i feel like throwing up, in the most cheerful way possible.

[Little Sixes Little Nines]

those are soooo good. purple especially.
i love sour candy! once when i was a kid i ate the whole box of citric acid powder in our pantry with a teaspoon!

[clare]

You'd be spewing rainbows, Grace! So cool. They sound like my kind of yummy.

i would kill for those.

[milly balgeary]

these really should go in the popsicle thread but they are kinda sour candied. these are popsicles right, flavored like airhead taffy, and somehow.. CHEWY. that's right. CHEWY. these things climb in your mouth and shit beauty.

[clare]

chewy? weird. very very weird. I'd like to try them though...

I think there should be an lptj sour candy christmas swap this year.

[clare]

Ooh! I'd love to be in but the fucking Aus postal service has added a $10 fuck-you charge on all parcels to the US, and I don't think the bloke is heading over that way before the end of the year...(And I think we don't have anything the NZers don't) So I don't know...

[Greg Nog]

Yeah, I seem to recall that we were going to do a NZ/US candy swap until the post office was like, "And that'll be four thousand dollars to ship a small box.  We also have Priority options"

Which is sad, because I remember thinking that US postage rates were pretty good...since they stopped with the surface option, it's all gone to shit though.
