Grim theory: it’s all that people can financially afford to be popular these days.
Someone please bring back “Altoids Sours”.
There’s a company making a new version called retro sours. They are available online or at Cracker Barrel when in stock.
...when were you a kid?..sour candy was a thing before i was growing up in the seventies and ever since, so, like, since at least the mid-sixties...
Tell me more.
SweeTarts are hardly part of the mega-sour family tree. They are essentially compressed Pixy-Sticks, as the article you linked to said. They're tart, but being for was never part of the advertising, that I recall. That may have changed since '94.
