Sour Smog Balls, Assorted Fruity Flavors

These things are absolutely gnarly. I love them. I like sour candy a lot, and I have eaten the toxic waste barrels candy from the same company. Those were similar to warheads but I found the warheads flavors were better, however the toxic waste barrels were more sour. I first bought these at a local candy store a few months back. These are unusual because the outside of the candy is hard and sweet, similar to a skittle but round, and the inside part is chewy and face squirmingly sour! Normally, sour candy is sour on the outside and sweet on the inside. They are so acidic I am surprised there is not a warning label. I like the pink ones the best, i think they are strawberry flavored. I like the lemon ones the least, they are a little too bitter rather than sour. And the blue ones are just weird, as with any blue candy. Also, the candy shell doesn't crunch on the blue ones like the rest of them. It has something to do with the blue dye they use to color it probably. The whole thing is kind of chewy. If you eat a half a bag of these, you will get a blister on the side of your mouth that you were eating them on. If you eat an entire bag, your cheek will be bleeding. This candy is seriously caustic! So after I bloodied my mouth on a bag of these I decided I should probably have access to a steady supply. I found the 12 pack on amazon, stoked! Much cheaper than buying one bag at a time from the local candy store. I gave a few bags away but have already gone through the rest. I am about ready to re-up. My cheek is twinging just thinking about them! Also, they just came in a plastic baggie, the display cardboard was not included with my order. So be weary if you are purchasing these to resell at a store, you may not get the display box that is pictured, I did not, but this does not affect my review of the product.

Telling your significant other to suck your smog balls isn’t good foreplay

Tbh, not as sour as I anticipated, but the flavor! OMG THE FLAVOR IS SO ADDICTIVE!

They arrived in good condition and were edible, which is important to mention because it's 50/50 when you buy sour candy on amazon. However, after eating a bag, I'm not sure they're for me. They're not bad, they're just not for me. Good shipping and condition though.

This candy is very addictive. I just love the balance of sweet and sour taste. If I would have read some of the reviews about causing sores in your mouth and causing your mouth to bleed I wouldn't have purchased. However, I'm glad I didn't see the reviews. I'm not sure what mouth issues others have had. I've eaten a whole bag with no issues. I got the 12 pack and no one who ate them had that issue. I've ordered this 3 times and the only issues I've had is wanting more of them.

Oct 2025. These are a little sour, but are stale. The taste initially has a preservative taste, then afterwards you can taste a slight sweetness and sourness. But is significantly muted and hard, placing 6-8 of the small round beads improved the sourness but overall not as sour as other sour candies.

Recently went to 5 below that just opened in town and found smog balls. Haven’t had them in years. That bag tore my mouth up with sourness. And was 2$ so that getting my gears rolling and I wanted more. Thought 3 bags 10$ eh could be better but convenience. I have since eaten 2 1/2 bags and they’re not sour. More like eating lemon heads and you get your occasional zinger. Long story short go to the store if you can in your local areas.

Yeah get these cuz they are the best candy I've had for a while, they leave a wonderful black mark on my tongue either due to the dye or the sourness but GOODNESS are they SOUR or WHAT (they're sour) and I love them so.
