This challenge has become a viral hit, with creators on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube filming their hilarious—and often tear-inducing—reactions. From red-faced dads to giggling kids, and even seasoned sour lovers, almost everyone has underestimated just how sour these bad boys are.

What Makes Barnetts Mega Sours So Intense?

We’ve been crafting traditional sweets in the UK since 1896, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about our Mega Sours. What sets them apart?

·         - Extra-strength sour coating: A powerful citric acid punch that hits you the moment it touches your tongue.

·         - Fizzy centre: Just when you think you’ve survived the sour, the fizzy sherbet middle kicks in for round two.

·         - Flavour variety: Choose from Atomic Apple, Mega Sour Raspberry, Lemon, Cherry, and even Toxic flavours for those who really love a challenge.
