Better Sour earns strong reviews for vibrant, globally inspired flavors like Calamansi, Guava, Ume, and Passionfruit, and many find it a satisfying, cleaner “better-for-you” gummy that can even aid digestion. However, reviews also flag inconsistent sourness (often mild), sticky/chewy texture that clings to teeth, occasional indistinct flavors within a bag, and gummies that can melt or fuse in warmth—making it compelling for flavor seekers, but less ideal for classic sour-candy purists.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
As a sour candy lover, I was excited to try this healthier alternative. While I appreciate the unique flavors and overall taste, I did not find it to be sour, as the name implies. If you’re simply looking for a fruity and chewy healthier candy alternative, this could be a viable option. However, if you are truly searching for a sour candy option, this is unlikely to hit the mark.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good these tasted for how little sugar is in these. I could definitely see this replacing my sweet treat at the end of the night. They tasted like sour gummy candies, but didn't have the gross aftertaste and overly sugary taste of other brands.
I feel I am always on the hunt for a good, low-sugar gummy. These flavors are really compelling (love the Guava) but I'm a stickler for texture. The texture is quite rubbery and sticky, making it hard to chew and not feel like it's stuck in your back molars. I'm giving them a 3 instead of a 2 because I find that to be true for MOST low-sugar gummy products and their flavors really are cool. Just know the texture isn't like your favorite gummy worm.
I love the taste and flavor of these candies and like that they are made with healthier ingredients. These are great when you are craving something sweet, but don't want a lot of sugar.
The sourness of the moment you put it in your mouth becomes a habit
only good healthy gummy!! Love all of these so much! wish they were in more stores.
I bought these candies on a whim at Target and was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. They were not overly sour, so if you’re looking for a sour treat, this one probably won’t scratch the itch. However, the flavors are strong and distinct. They aren’t cheap but they are delicious.
The best "better for you" gummies on the market. The pink packet are my favorite.
the calamansi flavor was insane, i really like the new flavor concepts for these sours!

Honestly I feel like these weren’t bad for a healthier sour gummy. The texture and flavor is more like a dried fruit. But I enjoy the sourness on top! I’d recommend a try!
