Sour Buddies Gummy Candies
What it is
Sour Buddies are a type of gummy candy known for their intensely sour coating and chewy texture. They are typically shaped like small, friendly characters. The initial sourness is designed to be a strong sensation that quickly gives way to a sweet, fruity flavor as you chew. These candies are a popular choice for those who enjoy a bold taste experience.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and chewy texture of leftover Sour Buddies, ensure the bag is sealed tightly after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures, as this can cause the gummies to melt or become hard. Proper storage will help preserve their intended taste and consistency.
