While in Birmingham I dropped into the Great Western Arcade to pay a visit to Mr. Simms Sweet Shop. I found a few Halloween treats on offer but what really caught my attention, well, besides the giant logs of marzipan, were the Ultra Sours which came in various strengths. I bought the variety pack and brought it in to share the deadly sourness with my co-workers.
The bag comes replete with a warning to indulge in moderation lest your stomach suffer the consequences.
I randomly pulled out this one.
Water melancholy!
Oh mama, it was sour! Those sugar crystals on the outside were powerless against the massive onrush of sourness. My face contorted in response and I think my eyes well with tears.
They're hard candies with a liquid center. I am unable to determine if the filling is mildly sour or sweet because my tongue is simply unable to taste sweetness after that blast of whatever acids these things are coated in.
Delicious!
