No way, you cannot just write off the cultural impact of Altoids Sours like that. They set a standard for sour candies – plus, they came in that iconic tin. 'Lick a lemon'? Where's the class in that??

Yeah, they were sour, but that was kind of the point, wasn't it? Altoids Sours hit a niche market – a market that obviously misses them dearly. Your 'lick a lemon' trick might work for you, but let people have their discontinued candy grief.

Pfft, kids these days just don't understand. It's not about how sour they were – it's about what they represented. An era of carefree youth, simpler times. The sours come with memories, and you can't beat nostalgia, my friend.

LMAO, Altoids Sours were trash. Bitter as my ex and twice as hard to get rid of. Good riddance!

Honestly, I collected the tins because they're cool. So from that standpoint, I get ya. The sours? They were aight, but not gonna lose sleep over them being gone.

You're looking at it all wrong. Altoids Sours were a masterpiece of the sour candy genre – the balance, the mouth-pucker, the tin as a cherished memento. You can't replicate that mix with just a lemon. Modern sour candies don't even come close in the bold flavor department. So, while the hype train might've gone off the rails a bit, the love for those little sour mints is anything but unfounded.

Dude, licking a lemon doesn't even come close to the tangy blast of an Altoids Sour. It's not just about the sourness, it's the whole experience. That citrus hit is irreplaceable, my friend.

Altoids Sours were overrated, I agree. I mean, they were fine, but people talk about them like they were the holy grail of candies. The tin definitely was the best part tho, no argument there.
