Sour Patch Extreme
What I think is interesting about the new Sour Patch Extreme candies is that they didn’t just make them more sour. They mixed the flavors up a bit. Each candy is a mix of two flavors. The head is one flavor and the shock of hair is a second flavor. I don’t think they looked too much like faces, more like feet with different colored toes to me.
Orange Blue Raspberry (blue hair and orange head) - I would have preferred my citrus together - maybe a little lemon and orange, but this was okay. The orange seemed to overpower the raspberry in the sour department, but after chewing to the point where it gets sweet, that’s when the raspberry kicked in. Sour Apple Strawberry (red hair and green head) - This combo was quite as abundant in the mix and that was fine by me. The flavors were so distinct they didn’t seem to go together. I rather prefer my flavors separate. The good thing is that you can just bite off the half that you feel like eating, but of course you can’t throw the other half back into the bag for later (well, maybe you could, but I wouldn’t). While they are more sour, they’re also a smidge less flavorful. I think I’ll stick with the regular ones. I got these as a sample at All Candy Expo, but I spotted them at Target and 7-11. Unlike gummis, Sour Patch products contain no gelatin (they’re technically a “jelly” product). For that reason they are suitable for vegetarians. Related Candies

Can’t wait to try these. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!!
See, I love me some regular sour patch. I just can’t see improving them. Certainly not by making them ”EXTREME”. At least some of the flavor combos sound good (I really like the sound of Orange Blue Raspberry). I think I’ll stick to the originals, though.
I really love these, and the site as well.. My fave is the watermellon grape. A great addition to the patch!
