Mega Sour Raspberry Bombs 250 gram bag (1/4 kilo) by Barnetts

If you’re a fan of extreme sour candies, Barnetts Mega Sour Raspberry Bombs will put your taste buds to the ultimate test. These hard-boiled sweets are infamous for their intense, face-contorting sourness, followed by a satisfyingly sweet raspberry flavor. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the experience:Packaging & PresentationThe 250g (¼ kilo) bag is a good size for personal indulgence or sharing—though be warned, not everyone will be brave enough to handle more than one! The candies themselves are round, slightly rough in texture, and coated in a white sour powder that hints at the intense experience to come. Barnetts’ signature no-nonsense approach to packaging keeps things simple, making it clear you’re in for a serious sour treat.Flavor & Experience• Initial Sour Hit (First 10-15 seconds): These sweets don’t play around. The extreme citric acid coating delivers an eye-watering, tongue-tingling punch that can catch even experienced sour candy lovers off guard. If you’re not prepared, you might find yourself wincing, gasping, or even needing a quick sip of water.• Sweet Raspberry Reward (After the Sour Layer Dissolves): Once you power through the intense sourness, the candy transitions into a much more pleasant fruity raspberry flavor, which is smooth, sweet, and enjoyable. The contrast between the two phases makes the journey worthwhile.• Mild Heat & Tangy Aftertaste: Some people report a slight spicy or tingling sensation after the sourness fades, possibly due to the acidity. The aftertaste lingers, leaving a tart but pleasant raspberry note.Texture & LongevityThe candies are hard-boiled and long-lasting, so if you don’t bite down, each piece can keep you occupied for several minutes. The hard texture makes them a satisfying, slow-release treat rather than something to chew through quickly.Warnings & Considerations• Not for the faint-hearted! The extreme sour coating is one of the strongest on the market, and some people might find it overwhelming.• Not ideal for sensitive mouths—the acidity can cause irritation or even mild burns on the tongue if eaten in large quantities.

Very sour. Made my tongue feel like it had been sliced by a razer blade and left raw spots on my daughters tongue that bleed. Luckily the layer of sour powder dissolves pretty quickly. After that it was just a hard candy. Flavor was good. At the center was another really quick spot of sour.

So when you eat one, super sour. It seems like it just depends which one you grab. The first one I got tasted great! The second one....not so much. They have some kind of filling almost it's a bit weird. The first 30 seconds are great.Are they sour? yes!Do they taste good? KindaShould you buy them once to try them? YesWould I buy them again..... Not sureDefinitely try them tho! It's hard finding good sour candies!This product will say by Amazon it will take longer or will say "shipped" mine showed up much sooner and it still said shipped.

Wow. Usually candy is not sour... these definitely are! They are a bit bigger than I expected size maybe about gumball size. Hard candy. Extremely extremely sour. Very sour. Then it gets sweet, lasts forever. Great candy good price

I preface this by saying I rinse off the powder because they are PAINFULLY sour.If that’s what you’re into, this is definitely for you. 5 stars because they live up to the name.Once the powder melts down, the candy is absolutely delicious! Please come out with a “wimpy sour” for those of us who can’t deal.

this is all sour on the outside, meaning you get a lot of bitterness and none of the sour/sweet combo until you dissolve away the sour powder.This is not necessarily a negative thing for people, but it does make it more of an "endure for 30 seconds" and then it's no longer sour. Then it's a fine, normal blue raspberry candy ball.I would not buy again.

I never leave reviews but these are as advertised. More sour than warheads and it’s so instense when your tongue touches the candy it almost goes numb. This is what I’ve been looking for. The only negative is a few minutes after eating one get ready for the aftertaste of acid. Not pleasant but also very short lived. If you want to try this for a challenge you’ll get a lot of good reactions. 5 stars

It is sour for like 20 seconds and then its just a solid rock sweat candy, for some reason it is so big to put in my mouth.
