I swear every dang fitness influencer has talked about Sour Strips at one point… So, we wanted to know what all the hype was about. Here’s our unsponsored, brutally honest Sour Strips review of all their (current) flavors! Try before you buy bb’s (and by that I mean read/watch our reviews before you buy.) 😉 ENJOY!
Honest Sour Strips Review (All 7 Flavors)
Mary has tried Sour strips a few times before, but this is my first time ever trying them. We’re both here to give our honest opinions (the good AND the not so good.) If you’ve been considering buying Sour Strips because every influencer and their mom seems to be talking about them… But you’re not sure if you can trust the paid promotions – look no further.
This review is completely unsponsored and we’re just sharing our thoughts on each and every flavor of the candy.

Let’s get into the review!
Wild Cherry
What do you think of when you think of cherry candy…? For me, I immediately think of cough medicine. Yeah, not the most appealing flavor. But these wild cherry Sour Strips actually blew my mind…
They tasted NOTHING like medicine and were jam packed with yummy cherry flavor. Honestly, this is the best cherry flavored candy I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect amount of sour/sweet, with a bangin’ cherry flavor.
Overall, this was one of my top 3 flavors, and that’s really saying something. Mary & I both loved this flavor so much!

Green Apple
I’m gonna start this off by saying I am not a big apple fan. Eating regular apples, apple candy, apple-flavored items, I just don’t care for any of them. So I’m a little biased by my taste preferences in this review.
I thought these were very ~okay~ and probably wouldn’t buy them again. I still ate the whole bag *obviously* but they wouldn’t ever be my first choice.
Mary, on the other hand, is a huge green apple fan and absolutely loved these ones. So, to each their own.
They were “sour-ish” on the sour scale for me and I actually really liked the level of sourness. I don’t like overly sour candies and I don’t like overly sweet candies… So if you can meet me in the middle, I’m a fan!
Overall, these ones were pretty good, just not my favorite.
Rating: 6.5/10
P.S. Sorry for only linking a few of these. I could only find certain flavors on Amazon. The rest of the flavors are on Sour Strips’ website.
Tropical Mango
Um… Okay. When I tell you I’ve never tasted a more sour mango flavor, I’m not messing around. These boys are SOUUURRRRR.
I’m a big mango gal and eat dried mango all the time. The flavor is just perfection when it comes to fruits. However… These were just too dang sour for ya girl.
I couldn’t even finish the bag. I had to pass them off to my fiance (who is a bigger fan of super sour things than I am.)
If you enjoy watching people ~die of sourness~ you’ll enjoy watching my hideous facial reactions in the video review.
The mango Sour Strips definitely crushed it with the tropical flavor vibes. The mango flavor was on point. If you’re a big sour candy fan and have the opinion of “the more sour, the better,” you’ll love these.
However, if you’re a more “sour-ish” lover like me, these may be too much for you.

Pink Lemonade
Okay… If you thought I was appalled at the mango sourness level, you’re in for a treat with pink lemonade. These are INSANE.
Mary & I were both at a loss for words after trying this flavor. Neither of us are huge pink lemonade lovers to begin with, so that played a factor. But also, the sourness…
Mary was crying, if that tells you anything. They are painfully sour. If you’re in this for the mouth-puckering sour candy, please, my friend, buy the pink lemonade.
However, if you’re in this for candy that won’t make you cry… I’d skip this one.

Rainbow
The perfect combination of flavors!! I’m a huge rainbow fan. These looked just like the Airheads Extremes candies but were 10x better. I couldn’t stop eating them.
I’m honestly not sure which flavors they’re a blend of, or if it’s just one flavor on its own… But whatever it is, it worked! They were in my top 3 flavors for sure.
I found myself grabbing for these constantly and the bag went by really fast. The perfect sour and sweet combo.

Blue Raspberry
Guys… I’m OBSESSED. Blue raspberry is already the best flavor, IYKYK, and these don’t disappoint.
I can’t even begin to describe how flavorful and tasty these were. They have just a hint of sourness with the perfect blend of sweetness.
The only thing I knocked off a 0.5 for is that they turn your tongue blue. 🤣 But if you don’t mind a blue tongue, they’re a 10.
Rating: 9.5/10
Strawberry
I don’t typically love strawberry flavored candy, but these surprised me. These ended up being up there with some of my favorites and I finished the bag in a day or two.
Comparably, they tasted like red Sour Punch Straws. They weren’t too sour or too sweet, which is what I’m looking for (as you can tell by now.)

Sour Strips Review: Final Thoughts…
Overall, our favorites ended up being the blue raspberry & rainbow (Erin), apple (Mary) and wild cherry (both of us.) Our least favorites were the pink lemonade and mango (TOO SOUR.)
Each of the flavors had a good level of sourness, so they didn’t disappoint in that category. A few of them were too sour for both of us. So, if your question is if these are actually that sour – yes, yes they are.
I would recommend trying out the variety pack if you’re new to Sour Strips. I love that we got to try every single flavor and figure out which ones worked for each of us. As you can tell, Mary & I had differing opinions on a few flavors… So it’s not a one-size-fits-all review.
Try them out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments! We always love hearing from y’all.
