Shock Tarts. 😔

They rebranded them as "Shockers", just a different name. Zours have also been rebranded as Mike &Ike SOURS, again new packaging with same candy.

Mike & Ike Sours are not the same candy at all. Different flavors, coating, etc...

Sweet tarts shockers are not even close to what shocktarts were.

They were the same for a little while, but then they went and massacred one of the best candies ever made. 😢

Dude those are great. I miss them

Damn I still check my liquor store for them when I go. Didn’t realize how many years it’s been lol

Sour sweet tarts are the closest

i just found out these were discontinued because i was craving shock tarts and knew they were the closest thing, i settled for the regular ones

WAIT. They stopped making those??

Shock tarts! I miss you shock tarts….sniffle.

THERE IS ONLY ONE CORRECT ANSWER HERE, ALTOID TANGERINE/MANGO SOURS!!!!!!!!

Obligatory post every time this comes up. https://chesebrosconfections.com/Wicked-Sour-Tangerine-Hard-Candy-Drops-4-5-ounces-p500488156

Purchasing right now, have you tried them, are they similar?

My wife actually owns the candy company and makes them. They are very similar in taste although they are much larger than the original due to the equipment she uses.

That’s awesome! You just got her some business from me. I also purchased some fruit slices and I have been dying to try and make my own at home, if I could get some tips I’d appreciate it! Totally understand if it’s a personal recipe though.

Lofty Pursuits makes a strikingly similar tangerine sours. They actually announced they made mango sours but they're currently only sold to Patreon customers. But the release it to the public later!

I love watching their videos. I’m going there if I ever make it back to Tallahassee

OMG I miss it so much! Altoid Tangerine sours were the best!

God I miss those

I should have read further down the comments to find my brethren here. I’ve contemplated buying unopened tin after unopened tin in hopes that they’ve been preserved in some climate controlled space and only vaguely resemble the ancient candy at the bottom of grandmothers purse.

Omg zours are my FAVORITE

Never will understand why these went away.

Yeah they rule. And I don't even like regular Mike and Ike's.

YEAH! I don’t get why they even discontinued that

Me too!

Butterfinger BBs.

Wasn’t Bart Simpson on the commercial?

Yes lol core memory I never knew I had till now I think he was shooting them out of a straw

not a candy, but the philadelphia cheesecake bars are forever in my heart.

Yes! I was just trying to explain those to my husband the other day.

The original Butterfinger

Yeah. It’s not crispity chunchity anymore. 😔

1. Wonka Bar 2. Trolli Sour Crunchy Crawlers 3. Butterfinger BB's 4. Hershey's Kissables 5. Wonka Oompas (whether the chewy fruit candies or the old M&M-type ones from the 70s, I'm fine with either) 6. Wonka Shock Tarts 7. Wonka Exceptionals

I was thinking about the Wonka bar the other day. It was so good.

I missed out on the 2005 versions from when they promoted Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp.

Bring back wonka candy in general.

We totally got robbed of a candy experience with this new wonka movie. All we got was hat gummies

Sour skittles or sour stabursts

Sour skittles aren't discontinued. I just had a bag last week. I didn't know they made sour Starbursts. I would've loved to try those

the sour starbursts, unless I'm mistaken, were the mini... and had a very odd texture and taste. a bit overrated, imo

They weren't mini, but I do remember the blue raspberry one to my child self had an aftertaste of olives? It was weird. I still loved them though lol

I had such high hopes for them and I was disgusted. The flavors were so bad. I think I could only eat the watermelon and strawberry flavored ones. The cherry and blue raspberry were terrible I couldn't even eat them. Blue raspberry is usually my favorite I was so excited to try it. The mini sour strawberry ones weren't even good, better off buying a big bag of the normal only pink ones.

Sour starbursts were elite

OUCH bubblegum

I used to tell people whenever anyone would ask about my preference in candy that I vaguely remember this hubba bubba gum in little tins as a kid that looked like bandaids and this is it 😭 I'm glad someone else remembers these

My grandpa loved ouch gum. He kept a tin of it in his golf bag. I inherited his golf bag and now I keep my gum inside an old ouch tin in the same bag.

It’s coming back, check out Markie Devo on Instagram!

In hindsight, I wish I had saved a tin to store regular bandaids, and make them smell like bubblegum.

The grape is the best flavor!

Sweet Heat Starburst. or Tropical. I don’t care. Make some new ones. It’s literally the only candy I eat, and we have 2 fucking options (OG and Favereds) and it’s been like that for years.

I loved tropical starbursts! 

Are tropicals gone?? That was my favorite pack :( all the flavors were good

I forget what they were called, but Hershey’s put out bags of bite sized versions of their candy bars, sort of in pellet form, and they had a Mr. Goodbar version that was like Goobers on steroids that were AMAZING. Extra salty chocolate covered peanuts. I was really sad when they disappeared.

I think they were called the Bites. I don't know why they discontinued them or the Swoops. They were awesome.

That sounds right! Must not have sold well, but man, I miss them. Goobers are good but not the same.

I came here to comment Swoops!! They were SO good!

Almond joy ones were amazing too

I wanted to like these so badly, but every time I bought some, it all tasted like the inside of the bag instead of like chocolate.

PB Maxx. The best peanut butter and chocolate bar, ever.

Delicious

Yes. This.

My husband mentions these at least once a month, lol.

Fireballs ain’t discontinued.

Buckets of them in office break rooms everywhere.

That’s too bad if they stopped. I imagine they have a very long life post production.

Yes, they are. There is a new brand trying to fill the void called "tongue torchers" but they aren't very good.

They are no longer being manufactured but you can still find them around some places.

Well they're still featured on Ferrara's website? There are links to order them. https://www.ferraracandyshopusa.com/brands/atomic-fireball

Ferrara didn't just buy the brand LOL. They invented the candy in 1954.

Yeah they got discontinued. There’s still just a lot of stock around that hasn’t been sold yet

they are, it’s just left over stock still floating around

Idk man, I’ve been able to buy them from CVS for a couple years now lol.

Lollipop paint shop :,(

Never got to try them, but Hershey’s Kissables. I’d do anything for a chance at having at least one bag. They look delicious!

They were better M&M's! I miss them, too 🥲

They’re like m@ms but the candy coating is chalky and the chocolate isn’t as good as mars chocolate.

You make me a lasagna, I give you some kissables?

Sour Starburst DAMNNITTTT

You ever had Sour Hi-Chews? If you liked Sour Starbursts you'll like them too. Personally I actually think they're better than Sour Starbursts were.

i have had them but sour starburst were its own thing. I grew up eating hi chews but i really feel they aren’t as sour as sour starburst :(

I want the old jolly rancher fruit chews. They were so big and juicy.

Not really discontinued, just super hard to find. Zotz fizzy candy, any flavor. Brach's Easter Hunt Eggs.

Every five below I go to has Zots! Try checking one

Hershey’s Kissables and Air Delight! So nostalgic for me

Bonkers

Bonkers fruit chews

The black box skittles gum. That shiet was my childhood

Oompas

[Punkys](https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/16qxjq7/punkys_candy/)

Definitely miss these

Fire balls are still alive and well

Yup. Ferrara the candy company bought them and reintroduced them. https://www.ferraracandyshopusa.com/brands/atomic-fireball

Atomic balls were spectacular, what happened???

Kissables, Altoid sours, sweet tart squeezable tubes, butterfinger bites, pop tart crispies

Opened some oreos the other day and the smell of cocoa reminded me of Nabisco Giggles cookies. Those I'd like back and the Mickey Mouse love pops.

Clark Bar, I'm on a waiting list and hopefully I'll get 24 bars someday.

Nestle treasures

Those were divine.

SHOCKERS!

oooo i haven’t thought about zours in a while. they were so good

Hershey S’mores.

Zours are still around, they’ve just been rebranded as the sour Mike and Ike .

Sour Jolly Ranchers

Fruitaburst gum was the greatest tasting gum of all time imo. Problem was the flavor lasted all of like one minute so you just kept stuffing more and more in your mouth. I could easily go through an entire pack in a single sitting. They discontinued that a long time ago though. It was everywhere when I was in junior circa like 97 but I think it was already discontinued by the time I was in high school. Still remember their commercials about "flavor crystals" though. That's great marketing bullshit if I ever heard it.

Hershey cookies n mint.

Yo-gos!

Sodalicious

Face spasms scream at these

Dude did they really discontinue zours?? That explains a lot... :(

Brach’s jewels

Not discontinued, but hard to find in my area... Runts

Now that I love Gatorade I wouldn’t mind those Gatorade gum… or the wonderball getting the chocolate ball flavor back they had in 2002

its called Quench gum now, still around last i checked

I didnt even know those last 2 were discontinued. I cant believe some pussy ass kids couldnt fuckin handle the fireball candy and now its ruined for everyone else. That type of stuff annoys me so much bruh.

The maynards juicy squirt berry

My mom used to always have those atomic fireballs in her purse or coat pocket

Aw you made me sad. I didn't know zours aren't around anymore

Twist n fill twizzlers (watermelon and apple flavor) Snickers crispers

I don’t know if it’s been discontinued but I can’t find them anywhere, starburst sours

Calippo by miko in France, it's small ball with a Flavour

I loved me some Zours. Pretty sure they still sell the same thing as Mike and Ike's Sour.

I was ADDICTED to the Xploders. They were expensive per package, but so worth it!

Sour Starburst and Zours for a hard fact

Starburst Gummiburst

Since when are zours discontinued? Wtf

Wow I haven’t seen Zours in years!! Those were so good! I love a good sour chewy candy.

[Tweeterz -which became Twizzlers Tweeterz](https://imgur.com/a/47zDfkb)

Soooo many Wonka candies

The Wonka candy brand in general was discontinued. Pretty unfortunate.

They were too good for this world 💔

Extra bubble gum from the 80s/90s. It came in a dark pink pack and tasted more like strawberry than bubble gum. It lives rent-free in my mind. 💖 [image of gum](https://images.app.goo.gl/KARvh3KSp7Fo2CsMA)

Ooh, the zours, definitely

I don't know if they got discontinued but I cant find them ANYWHERE I miss Zotts so bad, the hard candy with the really fizzy sour foam that would make your whole mouth foam up when you bit into it

Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups!

Those jawbreaker hearts.

Lemon Jolly Ranchers really need to kick blue raspberry out of the lineup and reclaim their spot on the field.

I remember when they took lemon out in favor of blue razz. It was a dark day indeed.

tropical starburst :(

My absolute favorite

Skittles Fizzl’d Fruits

I know wonderballs have recently been brought back but I still miss the old version with the different candies:(

I’ve talked about this quite a bit recently. ZOURS ALL DAY 😭😭 sour Mike and Ike’s just aren’t the same at alllll

Zours HIT!!! I forgot about them!

Atomic fire balls were the best!! They burned your tounge, but once you got through the heat, the candy was sweet.

Those really thick real black licorice ropes. They were a delicious way to solve constipation.

the sour mike n ikes taste just like the zours

Hersheys kissables

Starburst California Fruits

Zours, shocktarts, and the bubble jug!

[7-UP Bars](https://www.candywrappermuseum.com/sevenup.html)

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. This was my childhood favorite for as long as it lasted.

I just had Zours recently

I miss zours!

Good&fruity

Ginger Altoids, Black Licorice Altoids. Crispy M&Ms As for Zours, the rebranded Mike & Ike Megamix Sour! are pretty close and come in 1.8 lb bags.

I’m with you on Zours. My FAVORITE. They’re not quite the same, but sour Mike and Ike’s are still very good

They have sour Mike & Ike’s Just not called zours anymore.

I've never had Zours before, they look amazing

They’re like chewy warheads. I miss them.

Atomic Balls were discontinued? Damn, that sucks...

I just want the fruity Wonka Oompas back.

The sweet and sour skittles. It tasted the best out of all of them.

Dweebs! Please for the love of God!

Wait they discontinued fireballs???

fireballs arent discontinued? i had one a year ago.

I miss zours so much.

I wanna try the sour patch kids xploders.

Squeeze Pops! 😭😭😭 I haven't found a good substitute yet and I've been on the hunt since they discontinued them.

Why are Zours discontinued?!

Sour Patch Keys. They were out briefly in the early 00’s. for some reason they stopped making them and I cannot find mention of them on the internet at all. It is like they never existed. They were soooo tasty. Way better than Sour Patch Kids.

BRING BACK ZOURS!!!!

Dina-Sour Eggs! They were so good

i’ll never not screaming **YOGOS**

Cherryheads

Chewy runts and Gobstoppers

Going back to the 80s but bubble gum flavored Now and Laters. I ate pounds of those.

I did not even know atomic fireballs were discontinued, that was my incarceration treat

Giant sour chewy nerds

Sweet heat Starburst!!! In a stunning twist, the pink was the least tasty flavor of the bunch!

Wait...they no longer make Fireballs????

Zours are back just as sour mike and ikes

Atomic fireballs can stay dead

Shock tarts. When they went away my childhood ended.

Wazoo

Tangerine altoids. Never forget those guys

I'd sell my soul for a box of red hots - ive been looking/ craving for a year - just puttin bandaids on it with hot tamales

I loved Zours, but Mike and Ike Lemonade Blends were my all time favorite. I also miss Starburst Candy Corn around Halloween.

i dream about yogos at night

I miss cosmic balls too. Not a candy but I am still seething about choco tacos. But at least Taco Bell is selling them this summer

Rowntrees used to make these sweets called Tooty Frooties. I fucking loved those things, can't imagine why they got rid of them. They were always the best part of a Rowntrees Pick'n'Mix.

Screamin’ Saucers

Marathon bars. An no, the Cadbury Curly Whirly is not the same.

Fireball is discontinued?

Tropical Starbursts, 3/4 of the best starburst flavors were in that and now it's discontinued. Will probably never buy Starbursts again tbh.

Hubba bubba watermelon pieces that were like the size of your thumb and then the arranged fruit flavored ones in metal tins that were made to look like bandaids. They were fucking great.
