The Nobel Times Super Cola candy: While the packaging says "Since 2014," I have vivid memories of eating the lemon version of this sweet as a child. (The date is likely a result of an acquisition.) Inside are individually wrapped cola-flavored hard candies. Like Warheads, it induces discomforting anticipation of a largely unpleasant sour flavor at the onset; unlike Warheads, there is a much more mild sweetness after the coating wears off. I remember running the snack under the kitchen sink to rub off the salty-bitter exterior until it felt safe enough to eat. The cola flavor is not nearly as strong as the lemon candy, but it still has the same underlying sourness. On the inside, there's a bit of fizzy powder that gives off a light, steady carbonation (rather than the sharp bursts of a candy like Pop Rocks. For people who prefer sour over sweet. 3.0/5.0
