BARNETTSMega Sour Fruits 500g

As someone who enjoyed a plethora of sour candy in my youth, I believe myself to have a high tolerance to most "sour" candies at this point in my life. Thus I am often disappointed with the lack of "pucker factor" and "mouth destroying capability" most candy professes to have. Alas, life seemed dull as my pallet of consumption lacked the sourness I craved as a child. That is, until I tried these.You see, a few years ago I made the nigh masochistic decision to purchase some of these (or a similar product with different flavors) for fun. I didn't have too high of a hope for the proclaimed "sourness" of this product.I threw caution to the wind and popped one in my mouth.I can only describe it as getting punched in the face by a black hole.Despite my best efforts to keep a straight face, the sheer "pucker factor" sent my innocent taste buds into a revolt. My face morphed into unintelligible contortions of pain and cartoonish depictions of suffering. I quickly realized that this battle wasn't for keeping a straight face, but rather for my life and the ability to taste anything for the next 12 hours.Eons had passed before the "curse of the sour" had left me to savor whatever flavor I had chosen to console my horrid life decisions. And in those fleeting moments of comfort, I realized something truly fantastic. This life altering experience can be shared with others by simply offering them a ball.Thus my devious plan was set in motion. To destroy the very cellular structure of my friend's oral cavity.Within the next 24 hours, I had enticed 7 of my friends and coworkers to partake of this psychological warfare of a candy. One conquered it as I did, accepting that they had found the new king of sour candy. Four struggled to keep it in their mouth for more than 15 seconds before spitting it out. One licked it like a sucker and didn't dare accept the challenge of full commitment. And one popped it in his mouth, thinking nothing of it, only to physically throw up no more than 10 seconds later.Keep in mind that everyone that tried it was an adult.Now my friends and coworkers have learned to respect the potency and position of this candy. The king of sour, and the slayer of taste buds. And that is the story of why I came back for a second pack.Nah, but in all seriousness. It's a true story. This product is fantastic and I enjoy that it's actually sour. A lot of people can't handle it, but I like it. So I'll probably go back for my 3rd order at one point. And the only downside is that there wasn't more included in the bag.So I'd say buy it if you want to try something sour or if you want to watch your friends face as they try it.

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 don’t like tongue-burning, eye-tearing Sour candy, don’t buy this. it is not for you. i, however, LOOOVE THEM. i don’t know how i’d never heard of or had them til now (i finally googled ’sourest candy on earth’ 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 AND LEFT A BAD REVIEW, OR DON’T KNOW WHAT TRULY SOUR, SOUR CANDY IS:a lot of the negative reviews for this product are because those people DON’T ACTUALLY WANT SOUR candy - just something mildly tart. like those neon gummy worms (NOT SOUR).some people think they ”love” Sour candy, but really, they just like sour 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 actually sour and not remotely Sour.it also seems that the same people who can’t 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, tendered ineffective, and just not good. Jolly Rancher Sour Surge Hard Candy (SO GOOD) - discontinued in the past year. Warhead Sour Dippin Pucker Packs - discontinued in the past year. Sour Sweettarts (the replacement for Shockers) - neutralized to obscene levels, is just Spree now.so please, PLEASE, don’t leave bad reviews on Sour candy simply because you cannot handle it. if it’s 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.for example: i have always LOOOOOVED hot sauce, but after i quit smoking, i couldn’t handle it anymore. i would DIE after round 2 on Hot Ones. i STILL love hot sauce (tapatio, frank’s buffalo, green tobasco, & sriracha) - but i’m not gonna buy a bottle of ghost pepper molten lava, and complain that it burned a hole through my tongue — that would be incredibly stupid of me. what i WOULD say is, ‘my mouth is on fire, i feel like i’m dying, and if you want the hottest hot sauce on earth, this might be for you.’FOR THOSE WHO WANT TRULY SOUR CANDY:this is it. i’ve not had anything more Sour in… possibly ever. my quest to find actually Sour, sour candy is over. YES it is Expen$ive for the amount you get, but i tapped out after THREE 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 as soon as you can (take it from me, a lemon eater), and don’t plan on eating anything spicy, probably.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 it’s 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 BALLSi see reviews about some of them being stuck together. my park came as if it looked like half of them melted a bit, and 5 were stuck together - but, because 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 thee same as the crystallized, unmelted ones. lastly, keep them somewhere cool, otherwise they’ll melt just from being in your house. i’m considering the refrigerator.anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I purchased these originally in a small store on the mainland for my spouse who loves sour candy. There truly isn't anything that's, 'too sour' for him. I'd say about half the flavors, in his opinion, aren't very sour and the other ones are pretty sour, with the red ones being close to unbearable for him. They're quite pricey from this seller, pricey in general for little candies that are only sour on the outside, but it does infact get shipped from England.Arriving home I gifted them to him and he instantly fell in love. So I purchased the small bag from THIS seller. All was well, the packaging was a little bit sketchy but it had information and ingredients, just no front label or branding on it. I purchased the largest pack which is the jar / bucket aka the 1.102 lbs or 500 g container.They do NOT come in a proper container like the image suggests. It's just a loose bag! It has no labeling on it and I was also shocked at the amount. Seems like it was only a hand full of balls more then the smaller packaging (my spouse has already eaten half of the smaller bag).The larger 500g size also takes significantly longer to arrive, which I didn't mind considering it weighs more and I also assumed the container would be included. I did weigh it and it was measuring at a little less then a pound, which is disappointing.All in all it's a really good candy and I suggest to anyone who likes sour treats to try these, it's easily one of the most sour candy on the market. Just skip out on the 500g and grab one of the smaller ones.
