Why do we love sour candy so much? That first tangy burst makes your taste buds tingle, your face scrunch up, and then—just like that—the sweetness hits, pulling you back for another piece. It’s a cycle of surprise and satisfaction that’s hard to resist. Scientists say sour flavors trigger a mild stress response in the brain, followed by a release of endorphins—so every bite of sour candy can feel like a tiny thrill ride.

At Yum Yum Candy Shop, we know sour candy fans are always chasing that next level of pucker power. That’s why our Sour Candy Collection is full of candies that deliver the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and sour zing.

Here are 10 sour candies you’ve got to try—each one guaranteed to make your lips pucker and your taste buds dance.
