Final Boss Sour Fruit Candy, Sour Strawberries, Level 3, 10 Pack

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 :)

I recently tried Final Boss Strawberry Sour Candy, and it delivered a bold and exhilarating flavor experience that any sour candy lover would appreciate. The taste is a balance of extreme sourness and fruity sweetness. Each bite begins with a sharp, mouth-puckering sourness that instantly grabs your attention. As the sour coating dissolves, it reveals a vibrant and juicy strawberry flavor that is refreshingly authentic rather than artificial. The transition from sour to sweet is smooth, creating a satisfying flavor journey that keeps you reaching for more. When it comes to ingredients, Final Boss doesn’t cut corners. The candy uses real strawberries, which enhances the fruitiness, while maintaining the robust sour profile. While not marketed as a health-conscious option, its bold flavors make it a standout for indulgent snacking. In conclusion, Final Boss Strawberry Sour Candy is a must-try for fans of extreme sour flavors. Whether you’re seeking an intense flavor challenge or just want a uniquely satisfying treat, this candy delivers. It’s perfect for sour candy enthusiasts or as a fun addition to parties and gift baskets. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling taste experience.

So, the first time I ordered these were back in February and thought to myself these are really good, so I'll order more. Today my second order came. Quality was horrible. The strawberries tasted old and if they were on the verge of fermentation. They weren't sour at all. It also appears they have started using cheaper packaging which shows as the very first bag I pulled out was sticky meaning there is at least one bag in there that has broken open. I will say that I have even bought the sampler box from them directly and the level 3 that came today was weaker than the level 1 that comes in the box. I just want a good strong sour candy with the ingredients not tasting old. I do want to try again but I'm afraid that quality control may already be taking a nosedive with this company.

I will admit, so far it’s the most sour candy I’ve had. But it’s not candy. As they say it’s actual dried fruit. My only issue is that it’s extremely expensive for what you’re getting. $30 for less than a pound of it is ludicrous. This is the type of snack that your very high middle class soccer mom would be able to afford regularly. Not something for the average person. The taste is great, and the texture is good. They’re not gummies so they’re not super chewy. But they’re certainly delicious. I’d say level 2 would probably be the best as level 3 was so sour. TL;DR yummy but overpriced

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.
