I found out what they did to Altoid Sours

2010 Altoid Sowers vanished was it the government conspiracy did Altoids fear legal action from customers who burned holes in their tongues did big candy shut them down because they were the best sour product on the market what happened to Altoids sours let's get one thing out of the way you can in fact buy a tin of these candies today or just the tin huh there are ancient packs of them on eBay at insane prices but who knows what a hard candy looks like after 13 years the cost of the eBay auctions isn't actually that wild if you've seen the sentiment for these things on the internet they've burned your mouth or your tongue but people liked it that way this person went metaphysical with it people reply to regular tweets from Altoids about them there's even a novelty Twitter account for them tweeting about how they want to be tasted once more this redditor made this comment which is ludicrous everyone knows that the worst thing that happened in the first decade of the 21st century had to do with New York but to understand it all we should rewind [Music] this is a regular Altoid if you think they look like little tablets of aspirin or Claritin that could be because Altoids were invented as intestinal discomfort medicine in the 1700s the tin packaging is Iconic and highly recognizable they were originally created by london-based Smith and Company which was later required by calard and Bowser sometime in the 1800s Collard and Bowser was later acquired by Guinness yup that Guinness and became calendar and Bowser nuttle the whole subsidiary was sold to Beatrice foods of Chicago and then sold again to United biscuits then again to craft General Foods until it was finally acquired by present-day owner Wrigley which is owned by Mars are you keeping up Altoids are known for their mints but they have also sold gum and breath strips much more like a candy sours came onto the scene in 2001 they could be found in raspberry Citrus apple tangerine and mango varieties given the social media comments where people were willing to actually injure themselves while eating these surely they were discontinued because people were hurting themselves while they ate them right Altoids must have wanted to avoid being sued unfortunately the truth is less interesting the authors of a bustle article contacted Altoids to ask where these beloved candies went apparently the product line was dropped because of poor sales there were no corporate cover-ups no government Black Ops no impending lawsuits except for a proposed class action suit filed in 2022 alleging there's no actual cinnamon in cinnamon Altoids so that's it folks you just didn't know you had a good thing going and didn't buy enough of them when you could unless you think Mars is lying
