WHAT IS THE WORLD'S SOUREST CANDY?

There are so many sour candies out there it would be hard to decide which one would be the sourest. Plus it also depends on the person who is eating the candy cause everyone's taste is different. But if you ask my 12 year old son he would say that Warhead candies are the sourest and his favorite is the green apple Warhead.

I, myself have tried the green apple warhead and I do agree it is pretty sour. After talking to my son we decided to try a few more sour candies to see if we could find one that is more sour to us then the green apple Warhead.

So we tried the Judson Cherry Sour Candies, my son and I both agreed that these candies was not really all that sour after all.

Then we tried the Wonka Sour Nerds with lemon,I really liked the Wonka Sour Nerds but my son is steal saying the Warheads are more sour then the Sour Nerds. I am pushing more toward saying the Sour Nerds are winning so far.

We went on to trying more sour candies and came across Sweet Tart Shockers, these are good but not all that sour either. Then we moved on to the Sour Punch Straws , these are powder candies so I really did not like them but my son did. They are sour but I would not say the worlds sourest.

Here are a few more we tried before we found the one we both agreed on being the sourest candy.

We tried Bleeps uncoated sour candy, Sour cotton Candy, and Napoleon Sour Bon Bons. All of these candies are sour to a certain point and we were beginning to think that the Warheads won the contest for the world's sourest candy until we tried the Toxic Waste Candy.

The Toxic Waste Candy won the contest according to our taste test we found the World's Sourest Candy and boy was it ever sour. This candy will bring tears to your eyes and make your lips pucker up. Now don't take our word for it go and try some yourself and see what you think.

Like I said in the beginning everyone's taste is different and there is so many different types of sour candies out there. There is even sour jelly beans and sour gummiebears which I have heard were pretty sour also. Sadly, I never got the chance to try the sour gummie bears or the sour jelly beans.

You can find these sour candies at almost any store so if you like sour candies, go out and buy a few and do a taste test yourself to see if you agree with me and my son.Have fun but be on alert some of these candies will have your eyes filling with tears and your mouth watering.
