Charms® Sour Balls Hard Candy Tin - 12 Oz Can

Always great!

Being a big Kid I still have an incredible sweet tooth, especially for the candies that I enjoyed as a child. Anyone in my age group 50 + can surely relate, finding that many things we enjoyed as kids sadly have changed ,Unfortunately not for the better .The Charms candy company does not disappoint .These sour balls are exactly as I remembered,bringing back many fond childhood memories .They smell and taste will make you feel ten years old again .The only complaint that I have is the price.In my opinion it is a bit steep which I feel will deter some customers from purchasing them .Hopefully the charms candy company can remedy this in the future So that everyone can enjoy them .

The two cans arrived in excellent condition and came in a box. Inside they were together but loose in a clear plastic bag. No tape! It was 100 degrees today and they still arrived in perfect condition. Nothing melted. Perfectly fresh. They are not individually wrapped, but I knew that upon ordering. Yes, they're called sour balls, but I think they taste just like a regular Charms lollipop - I think that's how they always were when I was a kid. Who can remember, exactly - I hate anything sour, so it's not likely they were ever sour. These make excellent gifts for anyone who had them as a kid.I would buy these again. Big hit with the elderly family members I gifted them to (and the kids who raided them!).

They were not what they used to be. Very disappointed. Both containers contained mostly the dark red ones and (gross green) Both containers hardly had any Orange, Pineapple, or Lemon. Tasted like they were using different ingredients to make them1⭐ out of 5

If you like dum dums or lolipops but hate that they have a stick, like me, this is great. If you like sour stuff it's pretty mid. A really sweet lemon flavor isn't sour just because lemons are sour. I was hoping for a milder better tasting version of Warheads and instead got tootsie roll pops without the tootsie roll or the stick(its literally what they are Charms is owned by Tootsie the candy tastes exactly the same) which isn’t a bad thing they just arent sour. There isnt a drop of malic acid in these candy balls, it feels like false advertising to call them sour when they really aren't. That's my only dissapointment with these, when I bought these I was just looking for lollipops without the stick and saw the original but also saw the sour and I love sour candies finding sour hard candies is difficult and Warheads are the main commercial sour hard candy, they have always been way too sour so sucking on them meant melting your tounge and the candy part wasn't any good once you finished melting the top layers off you're tounge, it doesnt crunch properly and it tastes oily, I was expecting this to be the middle ground but it's just normal hard candy to me. Still good just not sour in my opinion. 4/5

The packaging and all that was very good of course, as well as size of the candies and that type of thing, it was all what I expected out of a name brand like Charms. The one and only thing that I was very disappointed about was the actual flavor, because in my opinion, it just wasn't there. I have eaten Charms candy products for all my 51 years and they have never disappointed me until now and I am pretty bummed! I just did not think these little candy fruit balls were very flavorful at all, and they certainly were not very distinctive either. I thought all five flavors pretty tasted about the same. When you first start sucking on the candy, there is a bit of flavor distinction, but not much at all, and while the flavoring does last all the way through, it's just not very pronounced I guess you can say. I mean, for instance, the orange just is not very orange tasting at all, and same goes for all the others too, the grape isn't very grape-like. So yeah, I am gonna have to say that I will be ordering the generic kind next time, the individually wrapped candies, and see if I have a better outlook. It is a shame though because I really did think that since these were a Xharms product, then they were gonna be really good and really tasty, but I honestly have to say that they just weren't, not nearly what you would think they should be. And as for being sour, not even in the slightest, which I prefer actually but if you are expecting something really sour, then you are gonna be disappointed again. Sorry Charms!!!

I’ve loved these since childhood. I consider them among the best hard candies. That’s why I give them 5 stars. But I’ve been really disappointed that recent cans are very shy on reds— a scant handful (if you have very small hands). Anyway, I will not give them up

I'm 68 years old.My grandma always had these in her house.They still taste the same!It's a mouthful of memories...Can I say that?😋🤣
