    Lofty Pursuits has already perfect the flavor of altoid sours. Their lemon and tangerine flavors are spot on. They also have green apple, which is amazing, as well as blue raspberry!

    Wow what a disappointing headline. I actually gasped and was so excited, turns out it’s another hard-to-find recreation.

    I can already spend $100USD and get them from Lofty Pursuits. What I was hoping for was the original; which is what the headline said.

    Altoids Sours are returning to shelves with a new name—Retro Sours. And yes, they will be packed in those handy metal tins. Besides the name change, there is one other major difference. Retro Sours will be released by Iconic Candy and not Mars Wrigley.

    Buried the lede with the return of Creme Savers, too! Can not wait until I get some of them classic sours, long awaited return.

        My wife and I got some a couple weeks ago. They’re good, but not nearly as good as they used to be.

        They’re now round instead of oval, and you can tell the molds they used are cheap, because there’s big, evident seams. The flavor is good, but a lot weaker than I remember it. Too heavy on the cream, not enough of the fruit flavor. Plus they’re like triple what they used to cost.

        Still good, but not as good as they were.

    Ah, so it’s not so much “returning” as it is getting a remake. Different company producing, and doesn’t seem like they use the original recipes, but instead crowdsource it essentially.

    Not complaining, because I’m totally going to get some, but for those that are hoping the OGs are making a comeback, they’re not.
