Sour Review 4: Aldi GUMMY Sour Worms

Alright, here we go, yet another sour candy review (back sooner than I expected)! I went Aldi and found a sour candy I've never tried, so, here we go!

*(If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my format, LMK! All reviews are hand-written by me as I go through the tasting process. NO AI IS USED in the process, these are all my own words and opinions).*

🔴Openability: Nice! 8/10, pretty easy. Towards the edges of the package it was more difficult to open, but towards the center it's very very easy.

🔴Smell: Somewhat strong smell! Nice, smells sour! 👀 (Looking forward to these!) Kind of exactly what I'd expect from a sour gummyworm, but does remind me of like, a fruity popsicle in smell? It's nice.

They feel very soft and look very nice! They're not sticky at all, but based on the physical consistency I don't think they're going to be very cut-able or be very friendly on the teeth...

🔴Cutability: 5/10. Not easy, but not as difficult as I expected from such a plush gummy!

🔴Toothability: Surprisingly-friendly toothability. Very soft and pleasant texture that's (shockingly) still easy to chew through. Not gnaw-able at all (which is good for tooth's sake). 7/10. Not bad. Tolerable for a cavitated mouth but not ixeal

👀Taste:

🍋🔴YELLOW/RED (LEMON/CHERRY)

Nice, a true sour! Red side is definitely cherry, yellow side is a little ambiguous but you can tell towards the end that it's meant to be lemon. It's OK in the sour department! SOUR RANK: 5/10 , juuuust enough to get a light mouth-pucker going, but nothing super crazy. It's pleasant! FLAVOR RANK: 6/10. But I think the texture is elevating the experience a lot.

🟣🍓PURPLE/PINK (GRAPE/STRAWBERRY)

Woah, yup. That's a grape. That's a grape flavor. This is a proper "berry" flavored gummy. Somehow it seems slightly less sour than the previous one? SOUR RANK is maybe 4.5/10. Flavor is not my thing, but I don't hate the strawberry side. It's kind of nice! The grape side has a light grape flavor at first, but the aftertaste is genuine proper grape. If you like grape candy you might like this! FLAVOR RANK: 5.5/10

🍊🟢ORANGE/GREEN (ORANGE/LIME)

OOOOHHH DAYUMMM That's a fuckin ***ORANGE!!!*** THATS AN ORANGE BRO it's like I'm eating a California Mandarin. Same sour level, same orange flavor, I literally cannot taste the lime at all (which kinda sucks because I love lime!!)

Ooohh, upon having the lime by itself? SOUR is 5.5/10, enough for a *light* pucker/wince and very very pleasant (FLAVOR 7/10). The orange though? Its just an orange lol. SOUR 4/10.

Overall flavor 5.5/10; The number is plummeted by the strength of the orange 🥲. Its like eating an orange without the experience of... the weird texture. (You know the texture of an orange; the inner thin white skin and all that...) It's literally just orange flavor.

💥Overall Sour: 5/10– Enough for a light pucker on *most* flavors, and a *great* choice for a moderate/average sour-lover.

This *(unlike some sour candies which make me think "does this even deserve to be called a sour candy...?")* is ***definitely*** undoubtedly an actual sour candy.

The more serious sourheads of this subreddit might say it's OK, and that it could *definitely be more sour,* but *to the average palette this is undeniably a sour candy.*

💥Overall Flavor: 6/10. I think it could be better; the flavor balance could have been improved. The lime is overtaken completely by the orange, and the strawberry is overshadowed by the grape. A more balanced approach would have been nice (but I'm definitely biased because lime is my favorite flavor of all time, and grape is one of my least favorites haha)

💥Overall Ranking: 6/10.💥 Good! Might consider it again. I wasn't thrilled by any of them necessarily, I think all of them are "good!". But are any of them "amazing!!"? Nah not really.

The texture was really surprisingly pleasant. I kind of expected a tooth-hurty experience but it wasn't all that bad! It feels very comfortable to chew, and it's not sticky to touch, either.

You can comfortably pick up the worms and eat them while doing work; you don't need to pause and wash your hands if you're at your desk and want a little sourness. (Though you should prolly have a napkin to catch the minimal amount of sour dust lol. It doesn't let off a lot of sour crystals compared to many sour candies, but still better not to get that on a computer lol)

Ok! I think that's all I have to say about this candy. It's a good— not perfect– sour candy option that I could comfortably reccomend to someone who likes a medium level sour.

K bye
