Fans of the long-discontinued Altoids Sours candy are celebrating as the beloved sweets are finally making a comeback after more than a decade of absence. Originally launched in 2001, Altoids Sours was a popular choice for fans of the sour candy variety until it was discontinued in 2010. Since its discontinuation, fans have been clamoring for the candy’s return, starting multiple change.org petitions in hopes of reviving their favorite treat.
After years of anticipation, fans have finally succeeded in bringing Altoids Sours back to the market, although with a slight twist. The candy will now be available for purchase exclusively at Cracker Barrel’s Old Country Store locations, where it will be sold under a new name – Retro Sours. The nostalgic accessories and snacks available at the Southern food restaurant and store make it the perfect setting for the revival of this beloved candy.
Unlike the original Altoids Sours, which were produced by the Altoid brand, the Retro Sours will be made by a third-party company called Iconic Candy. This family-owned and operated candy company specializes in bringing back discontinued favorites, ensuring that the Retro Sours will stay true to the original recipe that fans remember and love. The flavors customers can expect to find include mango, tangerine, and citrus, giving fans a taste of nostalgia.
The news of Altoids Sours making a comeback has sparked excitement and joy among fans who have been eagerly awaiting the return of their favorite candy. Many fans took to social media to express their happiness and anticipation for the revival of Altoids Sours, with some reminiscing about childhood memories and others expressing disbelief that their favorite treat would be back on shelves. While some fans joked about the intense sourness of the candy, overall, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Although there is no official release date announced for the return of Retro Sours at Cracker Barrel locations, fans are eagerly awaiting the moment they can once again indulge in their favorite candy. The announcement of the candy’s return has brought back a sense of nostalgia and excitement, reminding fans of the joy and satisfaction they experienced when enjoying Altoids Sours in the past.
