Final Boss Sour Candy Berry Variety, 27 Pack, All Sour Levels, Extreme Sour Fruit Chews with Real Dried Fruit, No Artificial Colors or Flavors, Low Calorie Snack for Kids, Teens, Adults & On The Go

I heard having something sour can temporarily alleviate anxiety by distracting you. I wanted to see if it'd work so I started with Warheads. I'd say for me, Warheads provide a little jolt but not to the extent that it made my face pucker, contort, or twitch. I found that the sourness actually wore off quickly and I was left with a sweet treat and a little disappointment. In my journey to find the right sour treat I found Final Boss. I bought the Level 3 Strawberry flavor; the gummies are indeed sticky to touch, but they had a nice chew! I'd say less chewy than a traditional gummy bear but still quite satisfying in its own way. They're a lot less sour than Warheads, but actually I really enjoyed it as a snack. It had great strawberry flavor mingled with a little bit of tartness, almost reminiscent of an unripe strawberry (but better tasting than that of course). I don't think these have the shock level I was looking for but I'll try a higher level and maybe that'll work. But I will enjoy these as snacks :)

My only negative thing to say I will start out with - the candy itself is not dry, it’s sticky. This is because it’s not just hard sugar candy itself actual dehydrated fruit but if you’re not a fan of sticky things then you’ll want to get some gloves and continue to eat because these are that good. It seems to get on the outside of the package as well, probably just a handling issue but that’s my only down side and not worth removing a star to and otherwise flawless sour candy.The flavor of the candy itself is hands down the best I’ve tried. Better than any hard candy you will find.The level 3 sour is pretty solidly sour without losing taste. I have to try the other flavors but the strawberry was amazing. Sour candy is my favorite and I’ve tried most everything and rank this towards the higher end of sour. It is average time wise lasting, but better flavor (I’m guessing it absorbs the strawberry fruit goodness to achieve this) than say a warhead or similar.If you like sour candy itself highly recommend these.

I was iffy about this—super sour MANGO??—but both the mango and strawberry are really good. Seriously sour (but of course I like that), while still retaining the taste of the fruit. Because they are real fruit! That's huge, for me. These are actually diabetic-friendly. Also, they are sour from start to finish. They don't turn sickly sweet halfway through. Be aware that they are thickly coated in something gooey and sticky which will end up all over your fingers. My daughter said she liked the taste but they're "too sticky." Oh well, if I *have* to keep the whole bag for myself ... go ahead, twist my arm.I was even impressed by the size of the bag. It really is a lot for the money. They are a bit pricey but worth it.

I got the Variety pack just to see what flavors i would like. I also bought some for my friends at the office. Longstoryshort, levels 1-3 are enjoyable deoending on the fruit. Strawberry packs are super enjoyable because the fruit has enough sweetness to counter the sourness. Cranberry is a little more sour because of it being a little less sweet than the strawberry. Blueberries are SALTY, then sour, then a tiny bit of sweetness.As far as sourness goes, level 1 is comfortable enough to eat on the regular. Level 2 is a step up for sure, level 3 is really sour. For all three levels, this isn't something you can eat fast like sour skittles or other typical sour candy you find on the shelf. You definitely have to take your time with it. Additionally, they use the same sour coating as other mainstream candies which is Malic Acid (and also citric acid). Eating more than one pack within an hour may cause issues, especially if you deal with acid reflux or other issues. I drank some water to wash it all down and I was okay.As far as the fruit goes, strawberries are 100% the best! 5 out of 5 stars all 3 levels of sour. They're big and they have a lot of sweetness that offsets the sour ones. Level one strawberry packs will be gone in no time!Cranberries at all levels are a challenge to eat honestly. If you've ever had Crasins before, its basically the same but with the sour coating. Cranberries arent as sweet so the sourness hits harder than with the strawberry. If you're looking for the sour challenge, this is it. Level one is comfortable enough to enjoy. Level 3 is rough, enjoy over time.Blueberries are a no-go, too salty for some reason?? Dried blueberries in general are REALLY small (regardless of where you buy em from) so you dont get a lot of sweetness to offset the sour like with strawberries.Additionally because of their size, the sour coating takes over the flavor MORE. Also for whatever reason you can taste SALT before you taste any sourness or sweetness. The salt is REALLY strong and off-putting at all 3 levels since its mixed with the acidity of the sour coating and the berries being so tiny when dried. But oddly enough, i did not have this issue with cranberries or strawberries.The strawberry packs are gonna fly off the shelves for sure.

These were really good definitely not your average candy worth the money for the texture and taste you wont find at any grocery store. Unfortunately mine showed up looking like tanghulu still didnt ruin any flavor.

This candy has a wonderful taste, great quality. The texture is okay ,although if you live in a hot area it may come a little melted, but that doesn’t take away from the flavor AT ALL! The price is reasonable and this a load of sour fun for any member of the family!

Inside of container that hold all the smaller bags sticky like one or some bags leaked all over the rest.Pretty good taste. I like that there are fewer ingredients. But not as sour as I would have expected, definitely have had more sour candy. If the candy was dry like in the pictures I would have given 4 stars but it was like a wet sticky coating of sour. **The wet sticky sour would have been fine too if that’s how they were advertised**.
