\"Sour<\/p>\n

What are Sour Patch Kids Cola Bubbles?<\/h3>\n

It’s Sour Patch minus the Kids, and this time they’re soda flavored.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

Sometimes I eat a new snack and genuinely enjoy it, but it still ends up bumming me out for reasons beyond its control. I’ll get to that later, but first? These are really good.<\/p>\n

I can go in-depth about Sour Patch Kids Cola Bubbles’ flavor, but it just kinda boils down to “Sour Coca-Cola.” They’re exactly as advertised.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows Sour Patch Kids start sour and become sweet, and these are no different. The initial sour sensation is very similar to that of a lemon or lime SPK, but it mellows into a moderate level of sweetness that I’d compare to watered-down cola.<\/p>\n

\"Sour<\/p>\n

Both colored bubbles have the same flavor, which I thought would pop (no pun) a bit more, if I’m being honest. That’s not really a complaint, though.<\/p>\n

It’s akin to when you pour Coke over ice and take that first foamy sip as the bubbles settle around the cubes. Am I making sense? I find that to be the best and least cola flavor heavy sip. There’s obviously no effervescence here, but the taste gives off that sensation.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t help but wonder how successful a “Sour Cola” would be after eating these. Maybe Pepsi could give that a trial run. I think it would be good, especially for a cocktail mixer.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

So, I mentioned earlier how bummed these made me, and I’m probably dating myself here, but they reminded me of a candy that hasn’t existed in close to two decades \u2013 Betty Crocker Sodalicious Fruit Snacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you know, you know.<\/p>\n

I won’t dwell on that too much, and I encourage you to Google ’em because, man, they were an elite childhood snack, and these were semi-close to what I remember Sodalicious tasting like.<\/p>\n

I also think Sour Patch Kids Cola Bubbles are better than Haribo Happy Cola gummies.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Sour<\/p>\n

These are legit, and I’d argue the little bubble form is a more satisfying bite than the usual flat kid shape.<\/p>\n

I think these could and really should become standard movie theater candy. You can sub ’em in for the massive Coke and family-sized bag of Sour Patch Kids you usually get and just focus on your garbage can full of popcorn.<\/p>\n
