Remember when Fruit Stripe gum lost its flavor in two seconds, Candy Buttons were basically edible paper, and Warheads felt like they were melting your tongue off? Peak childhood candy chaos. And for all the sour lovers out there, the legend itself is back: Altoid Sours have returned with a whole new name.
Retro Sours — nearly identical to the originals — are popping up in Target displays across the country. The recipe hasn’t changed, but the company behind them has. As one fan explained, “Iconic Candy buys the recipes and rights to out-of-production candies from the original companies… it’s the exact product.”
And yes, you can still grab all the classic flavors: Citrus, Mango, and Tangerine, just like you remember.
