My Yoda dispenser was on heavy duty this past weekend, popping out the four flavors of PEZ Sourz. I like sour candy, and I had high hopes for the Sourz. The Sourz come in four flavors: Sour Pineapple, Sour Blue Raspberry, Sour Green Apple, Sour Watermelon.
The first brick I tried was Sour Pineapple. It’s more sweet than sour, but definitely has noticeable tanginess compared to regular PEZ. I’m impressed that the candy actually tastes a lot like pineapple.
Second in line was Sour Blue Raspberry. The taste is a little disappointing, really. It’s on par with standard low-end blue raspberry flavor, and maybe a little sourer than the pineapple Sourz, but not much.
Yoda produced Sour Green Apple third. I like the taste—it reminds me of another green apple candy, but I can’t think of which one—and it has a nice, mild sourness.
I tried Sour Watermelon last, and it was the flavor I was most excited about until I tasted it. Something’s just not quite right. To be fair, my taste buds may have been a little over stimulated by the other flavors, but I made sure to swish out my mouth with water between each tasting. I detected a vague hint of watermelon flavor, but the candy just wasn’t very good.
Of the four Sourz, Green Apple is my favorite. I hope PEZ keeps producing more flavors. If nothing else, new candy gives me an excuse to buy a new dispenser. Plus, the specially made Sourz dispensers are great additions to any collection.
The Sourz aren’t easy to find in local stores – Brian looked for months til he stumbled on these in his local Wal-Mart. Usually you just find the Orange, Lemon and Strawberry variety packs. So good luck finding them locally.

I AGREE, I LOVE THE PINEAPPLE ONES BEST, THEN THE GREEN APPLE. SOURS ROCK! PEZ HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE SINCE I WAS VERY SMALL, AND NOW THAT I’M 40 IT HASNT CHANGED!
