Q: What do you get when you cross one sour-loving Candy Addict with a whole sleeve of sour power gumballs?
A: One very happy customer with a very sore jaw.
I wasn’t all that excited to get these gumballs, since I’ve had a particularly long run of not-really-sour sour candies to eat lately. The package also said “made in Mexico” and we all know how I felt about those Mexican candies. Gum is one of those things which is difficult to get a good sour flavor with, unless of course you fill it with some sort of lethal mix of citric acid and scary chemicals. Even then I find that sour gum products are sour for about 2.35 milliseconds before they just end up being a chewy, grainy, sweet mess. There was a definite audible sigh as I busted open this sleeve.
To say I was excited about these would be a total understatement – officially, I *heart* Dorval Sour Power gumballs. The flavor is just delicious – sour right to the very end. The gumballs maintained their flavor beautifully, had a really nice stretchy texture, and were just the right size so I could blow some bubbles but didn’t look like a heifer chewing her cud. These are great and I was very sad to see the tube emptying.
There were different colored balls – red, orange, green, yellow – but I couldn’t really discern a flavor difference between them. Ultimately it didn’t really matter since they were delicious. I could quite easily turn these into an official car candy.
