One of their new products called Warheads Double Drops is a bottle that has 30 ml of two sour flavors. The one I picked up contains watermelon and blue raspberry. Most Warheads products have a sour meter on the packaging showing how sour the candy is, but this bottle doesn’t have that. However, if you look closely, it does say “super sour liquid candy.” Let’s see if that holds true.

warheads watermelon blue raspberry double drops super sour liquid candy capThe Warheads Double Drops looks like two plastic containers stuck together that squeeze out liquid similar to eye droppers. It is small and compact and you don’t have to worry about it making a mess in your purse or pocket since it has a cap that stays firmly shut. In fact, inside the cap are two plastic tabs that keep the liquid from accidentally squeezing out when the cap is on.

So how did it taste? Let me start off by saying I have never been a huge fan of the flavor watermelon, but the watermelon half of the Warheads Double Drops was really, really good. The watermelon flavor isn’t too strong and the sourness definitely makes its presence known. Similarly, the blue raspberry flavor is, in a word, sourlicious (sour + delicious). I would equate the sourness to that of the Warheads Sour Spray in the previous post, so yes, “Super Sour” rating it is. Another thing you can do with the Warheads Double Drops is squeeze both sides to get both flavors at once. I did just that and I can’t say it tasted any better than squeezing out each side one at a time. Either way makes me happy =D

One thing to note, you can squeeze the bottle once to get 1-2 drops at a time, or squeeze down for a couple seconds to get more in your mouth. At one point, I squeezed down both sides for a long time, swallowed too much too fast and OUCH. Major pain. Haha. The pain eventually subsided and I was back to happiness, but a word of advice, be careful. Slow squirts are the way to go.

All in all, I heart these Warheads Double Drops <3. They cost about $1.59 and are a must try for my fellow sour candy lovers out there =D

According to the Warheads website, the Warheads Super Sour Spray Candy comes in four flavors – Green Apple, Watermelon, Blue Raspberry and Grape. However, make that five or possibly more flavors since the one I bought is black cherry flavored. Weird how companies do not update their websites. The Black Cherry flavored Warheads Super Sour Spray contains 20 ml and is rated “Super Sour” on the Warheads Sour Meter.

One thing I like about this sour spray is it’s easy opening. A simple twist of the cap and you’re ready to start spraying. Unlike the Skittles Spray Candy, the Black Cherry Warheads Super Sour Spray took about 15-20 pumps before anything came out of it. The spray itself is more of a direct squirt which is nice. As for the flavor, if you’ve ever had the regular Black Cherry Warheads hard candy, it tastes exactly like that. A cherry flavor with a slight twist. Keep in mind that this spray has a super sour rating and when Warheads say super sour, they mean super sour. Since it is a spray, the black cherry sourness only lasts for a couple seconds before it is gone. So I can sit here forever spraying to keep the delicious sourness going.

Overall, the Black Cherry Warheads Super Sour Spray Candy was more sour than the Green Apple Sour Skittles Spray, but I found that I liked it just as much. To make things even better, I bought it at Walgreens and didn’t find out till later that it was on sale and only rang up as 35 cents! Don’t you just love unexpected surprises like that?

So of course, I had to try out the new Warheads QBZ Sour Fruit Chews. There are four flavors in the box which are Green Apple, Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, and Watermelon. If you weren’t already aware, Warheads candies usually have a sour meter on the packaging to rate how sour the candies are. The rating system is as follows: Tart, Sour, Super Sour, and Extreme. These QBZ Sour Fruit Chews, in particular, have a “Sour” rating.

However, they only have a hint of sourness, so even if you are not a fan of sour candy, you still might find these enjoyable. Usually with different flavored candy there’s a flavor that stands out more than the rest, but I couldn’t pick out a favorite from this bunch. They’re all pretty decent tasting, but not sour enough for my taste.

warheads qbz sour fruit chews 3The QBZ Sour Fruit Chews were only $1.49 so they are definitely worth trying out for yourselves. Sour candies generally have sour crystals that accumulate at the bottom of the bag, but I was disappointed to find that this bag didn’t! I really do hope they come out with a more sour version that’ll bump these QBZ Fruit Chews to the “Extreme” category and leave me sour crystals to enjoy at the end. Maybe they can even throw in the Black Cherry flavor from the original Warheads hard candy. So come on Warheads, make me happy!
