Fans of the iconic Altoid Sours are in for a sweet surprise as the beloved candy returns to shelves after being discontinued in 2010. This nostalgic treat, first introduced in 2001, has been a favorite among candy enthusiasts, who have long hoped for its revival, as per reported by the-sun.
Where to Find Retro Sours
The revived treat, now known as Retro Sours, will be available exclusively at Cracker Barrel and It’Sugar stores. While these candies are not produced by Altoids, they use the same recipe, ensuring that fans will enjoy the same mouth-puckering experience they remember. “Altoids Sours are… back?! Here’s a release that should make a LOT of you happy!” Snackolator revealed in a post.
Flavors and Availability
Retro Sours will be offered in three tantalizing flavors: Mango, Tangerine, and Citrus. These flavors are set to unlock cherished childhood memories for many fans who never thought they would see the return of this treat.
Produced by Iconic Candy
The revival of this classic candy is made possible by Iconic Candy, a family-owned company specializing in bringing discontinued sweets back to life. Despite the name change, the essence of Altoid Sours remains, delighting fans who have waited over a decade for their return.
High Demand and Nostalgic Excitement
Some fans were so desperate for the return of the treat that sellers began offering them on eBay for high prices. A sealed tin of Curiously Strong Citrus was being sold for $100 plus $5.15 for shipping, despite the candy having expired in 2004. Another tin of Curiously Strong Tangerine Sours, marketed as “brand new,” was priced at $150 with $4.36 for shipping. The high demand and nostalgic excitement surrounding the candy highlight just how much it has been missed.
