I've been eating Warheads since my childhood (I'm in my late 30s, so that's been quite a while) - I know what these sour candies are supposed to taste like. The new packaging states "New Intense Flavor", like they have somehow made the most sour candy in existence even *more* sour...it made me excited to see! But alas, that is not the case; these things aren't even remotely as sour as the kind I've consumed for decades, and the sweet flavor that grows as the sour powder layer disappears also tastes different. It somehow tastes more "chemical aftertaste", it is hard to explain.So, the sour outer layer is less sour and the sweet inner layer is more artificial tasting - not positive changes. The shape also has slightly changed, the candies feel a little larger/more rounded? Then again, being an autistic person with noted sensory sensitivities I may be "more sensitive" to these changes even if they seem minor to others. Try it and see for yourself, maybe my brain is playing tricks on me.Still, I can't help but to feel slightly sad that my favorite candy is no longer my favorite candy. The "mini" Warheads still taste the same as I remember (I also bought some of those on Amazon recently) so I guess I'll stick with those for now. Maybe I got a weird batch? Hope so, I will try them again in the future and see if they go back to the way I remember.
