Ok so how many of you have ever tried this candy called Sour Jubes?

http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en/Products/All/Allan-Sour-Ju-Jubes-560

CVS in the US used to sell them as part of their CVS signature branded candy but they slowly started phasing them out. Now, per their website they no longer provide them as of ~ a year ago, which is the last time that I had some.

This saddens me because this is literally the best candy I have ever had and even my GF at the time agreed and I am legit not sure if I will ever be able to eat them again. They were always sold out at CVS because they were that good so I'm very curious to know why they phased the product out. I've searched far and wide but the only place online that I can find them is Canada and I don't feel like dealing with shipping from Canada.

So I brought all you Canada peeps here to ask, have you ever tried this candy before? If not, you should. You guys don't know what you've got up there and I'm jelly about it.

They're all right. I'm not fussed about sour candy in general, so it's been a long while since I've had them.

Best thing about them was that they were sour, but not to sour. On top of that, they were sour but weren't coated in that sugary sour crap that most sour candy is coated with. It was basically just a sour gummy candy. Perfect

I've had em, but i think candy in general is gross.

Sorry about your loss though.

Allen candy is kind of underwhelming most of the time (but not all)... I haven't tried these and I am curious now though... My favourite candy I couldn't find for a while were those purple sour grapes (which I think are also Allen), then a store nearby finally got some and then cleared them out, so I got about 10lbs for $20 and now I don't like them anymore.

My lost love are these Hostess brand "buffalo wings" chips my buddy's dad carried at the grocery store he owned. The fundamental error every other company makes with these, and it's a huge one, is they just make the chips buffalo sauce flavour and don't add the cooked chicken taste to match, so they end up being really gross.

I don't really like this sort of chewy candy because it gets totally stuck in your teeth and also just feels extremely unpleasant to eat. Never had this variety, and I could definitely imagine they taste good, but I think I'd still avoid them anyway

Bro, you gotta try them and report back to this topic with your findings.

Yeah this candy would do that somewhat, but trust me it's worth it.

Well yeah I saw that a while ago, however it's literally 30 pounds and $134 bucks.

Or can you buy them in smaller quantities and I'm just blind

Nice, but candies are still for fatties and you probably just have high metabolism.
