So why should you pick up this sour care bears candy? Let’s dive in.
A flavour profile that pops
The Sour Grumpy Bears come from the heritage sour-candy brand Warheads, known for turning taste buds upside down. Wikipedia+1 These gummies debut with a sharp sour punch and then mellow into a sweet, blue raspberry finish. One candy-lover on Reddit summed it up:
“These provide a nice sour kick for the first few seconds, then dies down into a sweeter but still little bit sour gummy.” reddit.com
It’s that sour-then-sweet curve that makes this treat so memorable—and so perfect for adventurous snacking at YEG Exotic.
Nostalgia meets novelty
These are not your everyday gummy bears. The bears are designed as a collaboration between Warheads and the classic teddy-bear brand Care Bears—specifically the character Grumpy Bear—which adds an extra layer of playful nostalgia. So Sweet Canada+1
For many of us who grew up with Care Bears, the idea of a “grumpy” version coated in extreme sour candy is just plain fun. At YEG Exotic, we love stocking items that trigger a childhood smile and a taste-bud surprise.
Perfect for the Edmonton candy scene
In the world of Edmonton Pop and Edmonton Candy, variety is everything. YEG Exotic prides itself on bringing in flavours and brands you won’t always find in every corner store. The Sour Grumpy Bears slot right into that lineup: they’re distinctive, bold, and conversation-starting.
