Red, Yellow, and Green Punchie

Amazing

I grew up putting together all the change I could to buy a pack of these at my brothers sports games. Now I have a job so I can buy these in bulk. Love them and takes me back to my childhood
- Evan

Red Punchie

That good good

My mouth instantly gets watery every time I hear the word "sour". I love this candy for that reason alone but the flavor is just ameeeeezing! An interesting way to eat them would be to use it as a straw then take a bite after every drink. I don't know why but that always feels refreshing. The taste of blue raspberry and cold water is an indescribable flavor like somewhat of a hint of salty sugar water to a juicy, chewy sour/sweet flavor.

-PJ

Purple Punchie

My absolute favorite!

Sour Punch has been my favorite candy since I was a kid. I love the taste and texture, and appreciate that they come in different size packs. Whenever I'm looking for something sour and sweet, Sour Punch is my go-to candy.
