Sour candies top all the charts for being the most popular candy among all other types. The activity of chewing these mouth-puckering candies may seem a little masochistic, but let’s face it, they make an irresistible treat.

Sour candies are loved and hated by people - but everyone should try the sourest candies at least once in their lifetime. And we believe most people will come back for more. Sour candies are popular not just for how they taste but also for the challenge they create, making them so much more exciting and fun to eat. True, all sour candies come with the label that reads 'sour', but all of them are not created equal. Well, pucker up, friends, and prepare yourself to explore some of the downright explosive candies out there.

Toxic Waste Hazardously Sour Candy

It is widely appreciated by daring teenagers for being the sourest candy in the world. These candies are sold in novelty "toxic waste" drums, topped with dripping, neon toxic sludge. It is mostly sold in Canada and the U.S.; these candies are prepared with lemons that are left to age for more than 50 years – lending that tart flavour that can cause mouth pucker and facial shrinkage.

Warheads

Buckle up, folks, before we introduce this explosive candy to you! This candy got its name from a WMD (weapon of mass destruction). This classic candy is popular among kids and is one of the first sour candies that inspired informal "challenges" to find out who can have the maximum number of candies at once. Malic acid is responsible for adding the extreme sour flavour, but the taste wears out after 5 to 10 seconds.

Sour Flush Candy Toilets

This gross-looking candy will need you to dip a plunger candy into a plastic toilet bowl filled with yummy sour sugar for a puckering blast of flavour. Repeat the process. And yes, you are eating from a toilet bowl but the concept is absolutely bonkers.

Cry Baby Tears Extra Sour

This candy stays true to its name by causing a teary-sour sensation with every ball you put in your mouth. These candies are fit only for those who really love sour. Cry Baby Tears can make you teary for real, and your mouth will feel raw, but these are not sour enough to off the enamel from your teeth.

Order some of these sour candies and challenge your friends and family to see who can gulp these down at once.
