Happy Company Mild Plum Stick Mini
I wanted to like this so bad because I love plum-y flavors, but this one just didn’t work for me. The taste is super intense in a way that reads more medicinal than fruity, and the aftertaste lingered. Maybe it’s someone’s favorite, but I am not that someone.

Joyride Uncommon Candy Cherry Berry Ropes
These ropes are so satisfying. Chewy, fruity, and the cherry-berry flavor is bold without tasting like cough syrup (important). I love the texture, soft but with enough bite that it actually feels like you’re eating candy-candy. I would absolutely keep these stocked.

Blobs Sour Watermelon - Lychee
Sour watermelon is always a yes for me, and the lychee twist makes it feel a little more special than your standard sour gummy situation. The sour hit is satisfying without being painful, and the fruitiness stays bright. I finished the pack faster than I meant to, which is usually the sign.

BonBon Gummy Fish Candy, Sour Blackberry
I tried BonBon candy sometime back and it did not disappoint. On a trip to the MoMA Design Store, I spotted these gummies by the register and decided to give them a try. What immediately caught my eye was the Vegan label, finding good vegan gummy candy can be a challenge these days. These gummies have a vibrant hue and a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness, delivering a burst of berry bliss with every chew. While they’re labeled as blackberry-flavored, I found the taste closer to raspberry or grape. They weren’t as sour as I expected, and I’m still deciding if that’s a pro or a con but they’re undeniably tasty! Now I’m curious to try their other flavors like Wild Strawberry, Elderflower, and Peach, all sour varieties. If they’re anything like these, I’m sure they’ll be just as good!

Muji Candy Yuzu and Kinkan
These sweet and sour hard candies are a delicious treat! and accidentally vegan. Made with yuzu and kinkan extract. Kinkan is a citrus fruit I’ve actually never heard of before but quite interesting. If you find yourself shopping at Muji, make sure to pick these up!
