"This candy is one of the many bottle-shaped gummies made by BonBon. It's a turquoise color with sour sugar coated on the exterior. Since the name had "sour" in it, I was bracing myself for something extremely mouth-puckering. To my surprise, it didn't taste sour at all. Instead, it had an oddly bitter taste that I couldn't quite put my finger on."
"The texture was just like the other bottle-shaped candies, which have an evenly chewy consistency, something that I'd compare to Swedish Fish. However, this Sour Fruit Soda flavor was so unpleasant that I couldn't even enjoy or appreciate the texture. I ended up not being able to finish the entire piece of candy, and wouldn't recommend that anyone add this to their bag of sweets on a visit to BonBon."
BonBon in New York City offers numerous Swedish-style gummies and marshmallows with varying textures and flavor profiles. A systematic tasting evaluated texture, sweetness, sourness, and base flavor to rank multiple varieties. Bottle-shaped Sour Fruit Soda appeared turquoise with sour sugar but tasted oddly bitter rather than sour, with an evenly chewy texture similar to Swedish Fish and was disliked strongly. Banana Marshmallow ranked lowest among four marshmallow flavors and was considered something to avoid. Preferences varied by texture and flavor intensity, and certain items are recommended to skip based on unpleasant taste or off-putting flavors.
