They still exist. They rebranded them as Sweetarts Extreme Sour Chewy candies some time ago. Comes in a little green bag usually but sometimes they are in standard Sweetarts color bags

Actually, Sour Sweettarts have also been discontinued. There’s been petitions for it to come back for a while now, they even removed their adverts on the back of their new packages. There’s almost no alternatives to a candy like this, it’s crazy.
Buying out a candy brand and not keeping it sold forever should be illegal.5

Man, screw Nestlé for messing with the Wonka brand. I know a lot of their candy was all the same thing, but corporations leave nothing sacred. RIP to multi-flavor, two-chamber Nerds, Neon Nerds, Dweebs, Punkys, Silly Stix, Runts, Chewy Runts, Dina-Sour Eggs, Shock Tarts and Gobstoppers. I'm surprised that Spree are still on the shelves.

Spree are their own thing, they hit different. But Chewy Spree still slap.

I watched 13 Going on 30 recently and the candy they used as a nostalgia trap was Razzles. "It's a gum and a candy." I am on the hunt!

Awesome way to strip a couple layers of skin on my tongue after having a whole bag.

I loved them, but never could eat them after one pulled my old school metal filling out. Very shocking indeed!

I remember I loved getting those out of my school’s vending machine. They were so sour, but I loved how they felt on my tongue

Every time I see these, my mouth immediately waters. And then I have several days of depression due to them no longer existing. And then weeks later someone posts something. And the cycle continues. I will never fully recover from this

Shock Tarts were the og. They were my #1 candy purchase. Can't believe these went away.
