Tears (Hard Candy), 5 lb bag

Hard candy indeed! This is just like the old super sour Cry Baby Tears that I remember having in the past but now with I twist. I remember opening the old boxes and shaking out the powder that had fallen off the candy and eating that first and sometimes getting one that would almost instantly dissolve because it wasn’t packed hard enough but that’s what’s different about this candy. It’s the same super sour Cry Baby Tears candy that I love only with a hard candy shell. bonus!

If you're like me and love sour things and think nothing of eating slices of limes or lemons, this is one of the best candies out there to get a sour fix. If you eat just a few it's not so bad, but the more you eat, the more sour they seem. Probably because the enamel is slowly being eroded from your teeth. No, seriously, eat too many of these in one sitting and eating anything hot or cold will be painful for a few days. You'll see the outer layer of skin peel away from the inside of your mouth. I'm sure my dentist would NOT approve. So moderation is key with these! As for distribution of colors, this batch was fairly evenly distributed across the 4 colors. Yellow is lemon, orange is orange, red is cherry (?), and green is watermelon flavored. Maybe there was a little more yellow than the others. I got this 5lb bag from the vendor Grand Lake Country Store. It came in a big ziploc style bag taped over the opening, then packaged in a padded flat rate USPS puff envelope. Looks like most vendors buy the candy in the large 25lb containers and measure them out into smaller ziploc or heat sealed bags for resale. I measured the candy in the clear bag on my digital kitchen scale and it measured 5lb 1oz, so I'm assuming the empty bag and tape weighed an ounce. I ordered on the 13th (Fri) and got it on the 17th (Tues) with the included free shipping.

Excellent value for the price. Great to break down into smaller bags for lunch snacks, road trips, etc. Very sour for sour maniacs!

Pardon the potentially poor spelling, my head has puckered down into my body. These are sour. I’m a sour candy aficionado and these are where sour comes to kiss the ring and bend the knee… and cry… baby. Huge bag, will last awhile because you can’t eat them too fast.

Really good and sour like warhead sour almost

I want to start by saying these are delicious and a wonderful deal. However, the first bag I ordered was torn open upon arrival which I then had to struggle to get refunded cuz these are not returnable but say on the post they will refund or replace if damaged. Once I finally got in touch with Amazon rep I got a refund and ordered another bag. This bag came in a different color bag but same item. It was not torn and was perfect so all in all I would recommend but if yours happens to come torn get on chat or call to talk to someone otherwise it will not let you do anything about it.

My coworkers love these.

This is the best sour candy ever. Be careful though as it is very acidic and your mouth will become raw if you eat too many.
