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! (:

    Just to be pedantic, the acidity doesn’t come from the acetyl group - - it comes from the tyrosine, an amino acid.
