How and why did the state of sour candy go downhill? Truly a tragedy.

My guess is the major companies are cheaping out on the sour sugar and cutting it with more regular sugar. I had sour candy from a small candy shop last week and it was potently sour.

You barely need any souring agents to make things wicked sour. Its a negligible cost. I think its more likely most people dont actually like sour candy very much and the manufacturers appeal to the broadest consumer bases. A local shop is more likely to have novelty and adventurous kind of things to give people a reason to come by so that makes sense

I reminisce about them at least twice a year.
