What you're actually getting

These aren't the standard Skittles. Crazy Sours have that sharp citric kick that hits you right away before the fruit flavour comes through. If you've ever bitten into one expecting something mild and ended up wincing, you know exactly what I mean. My nephew once ate a handful in one go on a dare and immediately regretted it. Proper sour. Not subtle.

The pouch is 136g, which is a decent handful. Not a sharing bag exactly, more of a personal stash. Enough to get through a film without scraping the bottom too early.

Who this is for

Honestly, if you already buy Skittles, this is just a no-brainer at this price. Under 70p, and cheaper still on Subscribe and Save. The community on HotUKDeals gave it 860-odd degrees of heat, which for a bag of sweets is pretty telling.

If you don't like sour sweets, obviously skip it. These are not gentle. They're not Haribo-level sour either, but they've got a proper tang that lingers.

  • Good desk snack if you like a bit of a face-scrunch moment
  • Solid for kids' party bags in bulk
  • Subscribe and Save brings it down further if you go through them regularly

One honest reservation

Stock at this price tends to move fast when a deal gets this much attention. Worth checking availability before you get too excited. And if you're hoping to sneak them past the kids, good luck with that.
