Default the BEST sour candies are..

If you ask me the best sour candies are the BIG sour keys ( SO FREAKING GOOD)

la however says that she has never seen them.. is this not a normal candy in the states? because if not I feel sorry for y'all cause they are SO good!

(i feel as though I may have also done this thread before or asked it or something.. i seem to have memory loss with what I post/don't post..)

Never heard of them. I like sweet stuff, but my son likes sour stuff. Too bad we don't have them. He loves Sour Patch Kids.

Those are quite... phallic. LOL. But I'm sure they're tasty "keys".

Forgive me my mind is in the gutter today for some reason.

I say all sour candy is awesome LOL They used to have these sour candies that were half pink/half blue and were shaped like little bones (like a milkbone for dogs). My son used to ask me to buy him his bones.

I also love the Trolli Brite Crawlers

Ok, but seriously. I've never seen a key like that! And how is it that none of us has seen this candy before? Where do you live... Timbuktu?

I am feeling very sad for everyone who has never had a sour key. They are kind of like wine gums covered in sour sugary goodness. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

ahh my sister to the rescue! (see why she is the writer in our family?) wine gums are the perfect description (not taste so much)

next thing y'all will tell us that you don't know what wine gums are :/

I think they might actually be British because we have them here...DH has a bag wine gums in his car at all times. And the sour keys are absolutely the best!

Yes we have them here. They remind me of fizzy cola bottles I like the faces pulled when you eat them. And wine gums are yummy!

I find the keys to b a little harder/chewier than I like. Love the sour sugar around them, though.

are they made by hairbo?

anything made by hairbo is a def. fave of mine esp. when we lived in Germany---and they have much different versions of things here in the US than they did over in Germany. We just found a place that carries the hairbo coke bottles and the cherries (I heart the cherries). <3 They have sour spaghetti i've yet to find around here that I love though!
