Sour Sweet Tarts (formerly Shock Tarts) are the best sour candy I've found.
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.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.

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

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 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.
I adore Cherry Mash...Them and Good and Plenty are my two favorite candies everI'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.
