Comments on: Fruit Sours from Jelly Belly: Kinda One and Not the Other http://www.candygurus.com/2009/12/16/fruit-sours-from-jelly-belly-kinda-one-and-not-the-other/ We may be sour, but we know our sweets.

Good suggestions btw. Fruit Sours are actually a throwback to the pre-super sour days when sour candy was a rare novelty. Jelly Belly has been making them since the 1960s or so. They are the grandmas and grandpas of the sour world. More for folks who don't want to be blasted out of their chairs but like a little tartness. Will go back to the web guys now and see that they eat a few Fruit Sours to see if any tears come to their eyes. Oh and Goelitz is the family name -- the 4th, 5th, 6th generation of Goelitz family still making candy and still running Jelly Belly Candy Company. Full disclosure — I work for Jelly Belly.

I don't claim that they're super sour or chewy or that the flavors match their color or are accurate to the fruit that Jelly Belly has chosen to associate with them. I just love them! I've never cooled them so I don't know if that would increase my pleasure in eating them, but I do love to work off the shell first and then eat the jelly part. Sorry you didn't enjoy them but thank for trying and reviewing them. Please send all extras to me! I completely agree with the details of your review Matty, but I still just LOVE the Fruit Sours.

FAR FAR better are the "Chewy Lemonheads & Friends" assortment you can get anywhere these days. Miles better.
