BarnettsMEGA SOUR WATERMELON 500g

Package arrived in the cool shade. Definitely sour on par with warheads and toxic waste. It’s coated quite thickly in the sour coating with makes it sour stronger and longer. The size of it is the same size as a lemonhead.My sense of taste got messed up after Covid so I usually enjoy bitter things cuz sweet doesn’t really taste like anything. So while sucking on it in its sour phase; it was kinda bitter but DEFINITELY sour. I got the plum flavor so it might not have been a strong flavor but still on level with most sweet suckers.Unlike other sour candies, this one has a “punishment” if you chomp or crack it open. One of mine was broken so I got to see it before trying one. In the center of each one is a white powder. Breaking it open releases it and make the whole sour experience happen all over again but not as strong. No idea what it is, but it foams when your saliva touches it and it’s sour.So in short: A warhead with a double whammy. I still think I like warheads more though.

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 love sour candy, warheads, toxic waste, and even a sour patch kid or skittle now and then. This has been on my "Sour Candy Wishlist" for a while, and it does not disappoint. The first time I tried it, I thought of spitting it out, but I persevered, and it ended up being quite delicious. After the sour wears off, there is a lovely blue raspberry taste, and then in the center, there is a final sour fizzy punch, which is a very light sour. Overall, these are great, but you must be careful to not eat more than one in a row if you don't want to mess up your mouth for a while.

I tried these after being recommended by a friend. They are really sour. I'm not the biggest fan of sour foods but if you are looking for a really sour candy with a nice flavor at the end then this is it. Three stars for comfort because after a few I thought my tongue was about to bleed but I guess three stars for comfort on sour candy is actually a good thing lol.

We got this to just see how sour this candy would be. Why was we ever surprised. Very sour and have to fight through the sourness for quite a while. Get down to the candy and as you chew it up it has that fizzy stuff in the middle, which is quite interesting. Fun to offer to the friends and have them try it out. The kids loved it. If you were looking for something very sour look no further. Hope this helps.
