SOUR BATH BOMB FOR YOUR MOUTH.
UPDATE 2-13-25: these are still the best. I've yet to find a more sour candy out there. I tried the "Black Death" sourballs which are made here in the US, and they were no more sour than Barnett's. Kind of seemed less sour tbh. Also, the rest of the Black Death's brand other sour balls, which look identical to Barnett's are WILDLY overpriced. It's a betrayal on levels no one's ever seen. So I'm stickin' with Barnett's! I just wish I could reliably get an actual mix of all the mega sour fizz balls everytime - sometimes it's that way, and other times it's just the fruits which is a bummer but WHATEVER THESE ARE STILL THE BEST. ------- I LOVE SOUR CANDY. it is VERY hard to find genuinely Sour candy. i consider myself a Sour candy aficionado. some people eat orange slices, i eat lemon slices. why? because Sour. TL;DR: THIS IS THE SOUREST CANDY I HAVE EVER HAD. if you donโt like tongue-burning, eye-tearing Sour candy, donโt buy this. it is not for you. i, however, LOOOVE THEM. i donโt know how iโd never heard of or had them til now (i finally googled โsourest candy on earthโ and this was the top result), but they have brought me severe, salivating, and acidic joy. NOTES FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY LIKE SOUR CANDY & LEFT A BAD REVIEW, OR DONโT KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY SOUR, SOUR CANDY IS: a lot of the negative reviews for this product are because those people DONโT ACTUALLY WANT SOUR candy - just something mildly tart. like those neon gummy worms (NOT SOUR). some people think they โloveโ Sour candy, but really, they just like peach rings with a coat of mildly citric sugar - again, NOT SOUR. even Sweettarts, which i love, NOT SOUR. most of the supermarket run-of-the-mill candy that say SOUR on the bag? NOPE! not really or remotely Sour. and if it burned your kid's tongue maybe DON'T GIVE IT TO YOUR KID!? like handing them a knife and complaining to the company it was too sharp. c'mon now. it also seems that the same people who canโt handle Sour candy complain so much, that countless Sour candies have been discontinued or neutralized. a TRAVESTY. somewhere between 2005-2010 Sour candy started to disappear from stores. by now, all my favorites, gone or completely neutered. some examples: --Shocktarts/Shockers - discontinued. --TearJerker Gumballs - discontinued. --Warheads - neutralized, rendered ineffective, and just not good. --Toxic Waste - one step above Warheads. --Jolly Rancher Sour Surge Hard Candy (SO GOOD) - discontinued in the past year. --Warhead Sour Dippin Pucker Packs - discontinued in the past year. they ruined regular Fun Dip for me, that's how good they were. --Sour Sweettarts (the replacement for Shockers) - neutralized to obscene levels, it is just a lower quality Spree now. so please, PLEASE, donโt leave bad reviews on Sour candy simply because you cannot handle it. if itโs god awful Sour, it delivered on its claim - so give it 5 stars, say it was too sour for you, and go buy some (lowercase sour) Sour Patch Kids. STOP RUINING IT FOR THE REST OF US. for example: i have always LOOOOOVED hot sauce, but after i quit smoking, i couldnโt handle it anymore. i would DIE after round 2 on Hot Ones. i STILL love hot sauce (tapatio, frankโs buffalo, green tobasco, & sriracha) - but iโm not gonna buy a bottle of ghost pepper molten lava, and complain that it burned a hole through my tongue โ that would be incredibly stupid of me. what i WOULD say is, โmy mouth is on fire, i feel like iโm dying, and if you want the hottest hot sauce on earth, this might be for you.โ FOR THOSE WHO WANT TRULY SOUR CANDY: this is it. iโve not had anything more Sour inโฆ possibly ever. YES it is Expen$ive for the amount you get, but i tapped out after FIVE in 1 day, my tongue peeled (gross but not surprising, i basically got a fresh new tongue the next day), and i took a 1 day break. also, brush your teeth after (an hour after for some reason, idk, google it). and donโt plan on eating anything spicy, probably. or crunchy. or hot. you'll figure it out. SOURHACK: if the roof of your mouth tends to get more irritated and it bothers you, buy a pack of Hi-Chew, put one in your mouth, roll it out so itโs like the plastic part of a retainer on the roof of your mouth, and THEN pop in a mega sour. it does not neutralize the effect. but it does protect the roof of your mouth so you can eat food within then next 12-24 hours. otherwise, enjoy your room temperature broth. Re: MELTED BALLS i see reviews about some of them being stuck together. my pack came as if it looked like half of them melted a bit, and 5 were stuck together - but, because i am an adult who can problem solve, i took an ice pick and easily broke them apart. as for the melted ones? there was NOTHING lost. tasted exactly the same as the crystallized, unmelted ones. lastly, keep them somewhere cool, otherwise theyโll melt just from being in your house. iโm considering the refrigerator. anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Great taste BUT EXTREMELY sour!!!!
I bought Barnetts Mega Sour Candy Fruits mostly out of curiosity because I kept hearing how sour they were, and yeahโฆ they definitely live up to the name. These things hit you with a serious sour punch right away, way stronger than most spur candy you find in stores. That said, once you get past the initial shock, they actually taste really good. The fruit flavors are solid and not weird or artificial tasting. I like that the sour doesnโt just disappear instantly either it sticks around long enough to make it fun, but itโs not unpleasant if you like sour candy. Fair warning though, if youโre not into intense sour, these might be too much. But if you are a sour candy fan, these are awesome and totally worth it. Iโll definitely buy them again and maayyyybe just not eat too many at once lol

Taste is gross. Not as sour as tik tok posts suggest
Taste is disgusting.No more sour than Mega warheads. Warheads actually taste good though. These things have a strong motor Oil flavor. It was hard to keep in my mouth. Not because it was too sour, because it was too bitter, too gross. Can't recommend any thing about these.

Sour Punch for Distraction from Anxiety; Stronger Than War Heads
If you're looking for a sour treat to quell anxiety temporarily, this is it! I've tried War Heads and Final Boss Level 3 for reference, and I found that the War Heads weren't really sour and quickly turned sweet. Final Boss Level 3 is even less sour than War Heads but as a snack they're actually quite tasty and addicting. These however made my mouth pucker and delivered a strong sour punch. The shock didn't last very long, maybe 30 seconds to a minute? But it was definitely strong and sufficient for its purpose. There was a weird chemical flavor along with the initial sourness but when the sour went away so did that flavor. The sourness was also strong enough to kind of mask the chemical flavor a little bit. Overall, the best sour distraction I've tried so far!

The sourest candy Iโve ever had
My mother and I like sour candy. I happened upon these at FYE. When my mom and I tried it we felt like we were dying from less than a second in our mouths. (My mouths watering now thinking of it) Tastebuds had died that day, but a villain had arose. I decided to bring this to work to get coworkers reactions. BEST. DECISION. OF. MY. LIFE. I have never laughed so hard in my life than watching them try this. I donโt know what you did to make it so sour but itโs amazing. I highly recommend this just to mess with coworkers too!!

Tongue disinfectant.
Ugh! Disgustingly sour! ๐ฉ. This by far is worse than the "warheads". Will FORCE contorted expressions on face. DON'T HAVE ANOTHER ONE, and DON'T EAT A BOWL OF THEM AS A "CHALLENGE". Just make sure your cameras working well when you film it. One eaten is a one off. The sourness will wear off if you are worthy โ๏ธ๐. Malic acid at it's best ๐

Buy these sweets!!! You'll never look back!!!!
Better than expected, 10 times better than warheads and cheaper too!!!!!! I've been a lover of sour sweets for ages and warheads were my go to sweet but these OMG, I am in love!!!!!! If u want a real sour kick buy these!!!!!!!! Sourness lasts about 1minute then left with a fruity flavour which is still slightly sour!!!!!!!! Came before expected, so that's fantastic, would defiantly purchase again
