started hunting for a good sour candy...

Now and Later Sour Shell Shocked was a complete disappointment. the cherry flavor was less sour than biting into an actual ripe cherry. the watermelon and apple flavors were just as disappointing.

Airheads Extreme Sourfuls Rainbow Berry bites tasted just like classic Sour Punch straws... so not real sour, but decent. still not going to buy again.

Sour Skittles are the best i've found so far on my limited search.

When I was a kid I bought some Terminator 2 sour candy and ate the entire container throughout one day. My tongue was in pain and super-sensitive for a couple of days after that.

(Not sure if this was the actual packaging, but that's what GIS gave me.)

I still generally stick w/ my warheads whenever I see them. Toxic Waste was another good one too, friend at one point in time within the last 5 years scooped a box from an out of business sale for cheap and we destroyed it. Good ol burns on the tongue kinda good.

My recent trip to Japan, I found something that was probably top tier, if not the best sour candy I have had to date.

UHA Shigekix Super Sour Candies - Lemon - Blippo Kawaii Shop

I don't know if its the specific brand that is the same in both packages. But I had this specific one too, and was equally good although when I went to any convenient store, I would at least grab like 4 packages of the other kind because I never saw this kind. Whenever I go to my parents house, i'll try to check the package.

found a bag of extreme sour sweettarts. definitely the exact same thing as OG shocktarts. good stuff. they never give you enough blues and reds tho, and way too many oranges.

i ate maybe 12 and my tongue legit burned aftewards. taking bites of my dinner was painful. all around, good experience, would burn my tongue again. 9/10

When I was a kid and my Mom had to take my brother and I somewhere that we had to be extra well behaved she would tell us that if we were good we would each get one candy. My asshole brother (4 years older) would get a Whatchamacallit and it would gone in just a few minutes. I would get an ABBA-ZABA because that shit would last the whole drive home and beyond. Being so much younger I was seldom on the winning side of anything with him, so the fact that I still had candy and he didn't was a big victory. I have only spoken to my brother like 5 or 6 times in the last 20 years because he is still an asshole, but every time I see an ABBA-ZABA it makes me smile because fuck him.

Whatchamacallit is the candy bar that was so good that you always felt ripped off because it disappeared so fast.

I didn't like candy all that much but my dad was always so excited to smuggle candy and soda into a movie theater. I ended up picking my favorite candy based on how concealable it was. I still don't like candy, but if I see a movie with my dad I wear a big coat and bring in all sorts of bullshit he likes to eat.

Teens and twenties was all about seeing what you could sneak in to a theater. On of my friends had JNCOs and would shove dueces of malt liqour in the back pockets and noone was the wiser. I had a jacket that could conceal 6 Wendys Jr bacons lol.

I'm not sure how many people have actually heard of this. As a kid, we might have gotten one as a treat if we behaved in public and didn't go apeshit. So we'd wait until we were at the checkout aisle to (politely and somewhat quietly) ask for one.

As I got older, though, they started seeming like they were actually TOO sweet. Like "rot your teeth right out of your head" levels of sweet. But it might have been the super-strong cherry flavor, too.
