My mother was reminiscing about things we miss from the past. One thing she mentioned was Shocktarts. She loved Shocktarts! One of the few things she indulged in.

Recently, she got my nieces Christmas candy, and it included rainbow sour strips of some kind. Uncharacteristically, she ate a whole pack by herself.

I’d like to get some good sour candies. They have to actually be sour!!! Any recommendations welcome!

Although do note that candys whose main feature is “being sour” then fading after 4 seconds are not what I’m looking for.

Thank you! (:

    Many moons ago, when I was a little kid there was a candy shop that made the best salt water taffies. If you could find something like that, I would suggest that. Maybe the local bakery?

        Depends on the flavor. It isn’t sour in and of itself, but I have had some pretty sour flavors of saltwater taffy.

        I also was a big fan of the blue sour punch straws but am not sure if they changed their flavor over the last twenty or so years lol it seems like a lot of sour candies have so that may be something to watch out for.

        The ones I’m remembering were in many flavours. I do believe apple sour was a choice.

        an emoji of jesus on the cross

        lmao is that how it displays on your device? It’s the symbol from the 1700s to represent Venus and femininity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_symbol

        Why is your name “Toes”

        I became transfixed with the way they wiggle at an early age.

          So wait…are you saying you’re a female who likes toes? Or you’re someone who’s fixated on female toes?

          Because I’m a guy. My toes are hairy. Well, the tops anyways.
