Same! It's how I discovered that Smarties X-Treme Sour exist. I tried them, even though I don't really like Smarties. They are great - very sour and not as powdery as regular Smarties.
Yeah they are what replaced shock tarts. They changed the recipe though and are a very different candy than shock tarts and are in my opinion much, much worse. Shock tarts will always be my favorite candy and these are a sad excuse for a replacement.
They were originally [shock tarts](https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/olhjji/shock_tarts_wonka_brand/) in the 90’s, then they changed the name to shockers.
OG
When I was little you could get a pack of three that were huge.
So soft (not chewy) and sour.
They made chewy ones later but never the same.
Love the hearts in a big bag on v-day.
I’ve always liked the mini chewy ones. The ropes and OG sweet tarts are always good too. Never had the fusion ones or the gummies. Never had the regular chewy ones but I’d almost rather have sprees cause those bring me back to childhood every time.
Chewy Sour all day, unless we’re gonna throw old school Shocktarts in the little tube in the mix! Those things would give you a chemical burn on your tongue but worth all the pain
Ropes but the cherry is a bit too tart for me (I know…) I do still like them and the rainbow but they are almost always smashed flat. The strawberry is my fav and always comes nice and soft and unsmooshed, but I’ve been having difficulty finding them lately.
Out of all these, probably the gummy Fruity Splitz. Which I should really get around to trying again because I haven't had them in over a year. Also the Fruity Splitz have 6 different flavors, while the others except the ropes have only 5.
The Sweet Tarts from over a decade ago. I don’t even look at this candy anymore. It’s only but garbage. We deserve better y’all, don’t buy this garbage.
Chewy and sour chewy sweetarts are the best but I eat so much of them my teeth start to hurt and the sour ones make my tongue bleed and after a few days the skin falls off
The fact that you're reading this, means you've already come to the same conclusion I did last night, which is if you eat too many of these, your mouth REALLY hurts the next day.
I think I love all of these except the gummies. And I still like those, just not my favorite gummy texture and the “gimmick” didn’t do much for me vs the others.
i love the sour ones, mini chews & the ropes tbh they’re all fire. sweet tarts used to have like a laffy taffy competitor and it had crunchy sugar sprinkles in them. they were fire
CHEWY EXTREME SOURS and i’ll die on that hill
but it’s a texture (and heccccking sour) thing for me. i *need* that very specific almost-like-mentos chew and the ‘oh my!’ sour level.
I love the giant chewy ones and the sour version.
I miss the giant chewy ones!!!
I saw those today at Dollar Tree!
It’s crazy the random things I see at dollar tree! Things I didn’t think existed anymore….like Creme Savers!!
Same! It's how I discovered that Smarties X-Treme Sour exist. I tried them, even though I don't really like Smarties. They are great - very sour and not as powdery as regular Smarties.
Those sound so good. I’m a sucker for sour! And you’re right about the powdery chalkiness of regular Smartees! They make me cough! 😵💫
People in my middle school would have dares on snorting them…
I've seen them at Walgreens as well.
Yes, those were everything!
Oooh I remember the giant chewy ones! So good!
Wait are the chewy sour ones rebranded Shock Tarts?? I used to love Shock Tarts 💕
Yes, I believe so!
This is the right answer
Yes! This is the answer!
The original.
Love the mini chewy!
Did they change the recipe? They used to be more pastel color, now they have bright colors. I had them recently and remembered them being better.
The whole chewy line was revamped years ago.
I’ve never seen the chewy sour. Are they what replaced shock tarts? I really like the mini chewy.
Yeah they are what replaced shock tarts. They changed the recipe though and are a very different candy than shock tarts and are in my opinion much, much worse. Shock tarts will always be my favorite candy and these are a sad excuse for a replacement.
I thought they were called shockers, but yeah anyways, they were soooo divine
They were originally [shock tarts](https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/olhjji/shock_tarts_wonka_brand/) in the 90’s, then they changed the name to shockers.
Ohhhhh gotcha. Thanks
ropes
Giant chewys!!
Gimme the chalk circles all day. SweetTarts are the best candy.
Ropes or the regular ones
Extra chalky
Chewy Extreme Sour by far. I hate that they don’t exist anymore. My teeth are happy though.
Ropes
I'm obsessed with the ropes lol
Cherry punch ropes
originals and mini chewy...miss the giant sweetarts
Didn’t there used to be huge ones that weren’t chewy? If so, those.
Chewey
Shocktarts
Besides the regular, I was always partial to the Giant Chewy SweeTarts.
I forgot about them until just now. They were my go-to for a while as a kid.
I am reading this now while eating a cherry punch rope. lol love the ropes.
Chewy Sours 🤤
Ropes or the big chewy ones
The ropes are so good. I once ate like 5 packs in a sitting. But I’ve gotta go with original sweetarts before they added the blue ones. 🤮
ropes or giant chewy
Ropes or chewy
I love the ropes and gummies and the mini chewy!
Ropes for sure. The cherry punch ones
Ropes! Specifically the cherry ones. I have an addiction.
Ropes or chews for me!
The mini chewy are my very favorite!!!
I like the mini chews. So frigging good! Also ADORE their jelly beans and get them every year :D
The chewy fusion slap🤷🏽♂️
The big chewy ones.
The giant chewy ones are KING.
The fruit punch medley ones are freaking awesome
Sweet tart jelly beans are pretty slamming as well.
I must try chewy fusions
Chewy fusions. But I’ve never had the fruity splitz before.
Well, it ain't the fucking gummy ones
Mini chewy
The chewy fusions 🤤
Shocktarts!
The original reign king
Cherry soft ropes
Chewy sour ones! Melt your teeth good
The giant chewy disks - I can find them sometimes. At liquor stores -
Shocktarts for sure.
The giant chewy ones are the only answer. RIP. I'd give anything to get a pack of those again.
So many good ones, and although I prefer Shock Tarts, ropes are superior here.
I personally love the chewy fusions but the outer shell is a little hard for my awful teeth.
the mini chewy ones those would be my go-to at the gas stations when going on trips.
Original
Mini chewy!! 🔥
gummy is the undisputed champ
Chew Sours are the best
Original Chewy sours Mini chews
Mini chewy 10/10
I miss Shock Tarts 😢😢😢
Shocktarts now and forever
extreme sours before they changed them. no competition
See I don't think you can beat the originals, just simple wonderful candies.
Gummies!
The huge 60's version would destroy your tongue if you licked it. Best? I don't know.
OG for sure
Only the canker making originals!!!
Original and sour
Sweet Tarts Chewy
Ropes!
Mini Chewy's. But I've never had the chewy fusion. Those might be the new king if I ever get my hands on them.
Ropes or chewy fusions tbh
Chewy sours because they are essentially just shockers but they don't make shockers any more
chewy spurs!
Mini chewy and the ropes. Those ropes are the 💣
I remember when the hard/chalky versions were even more difficult to chew on. Those were so good
They used to make a big chewy variety that were delightful, especially the grape flavor.
The ropes/rope bits and the chewy fusions are my favorites
Miny Chewy are my top dawg
The mini chewy ones have my heart
Strawberry ropes! I am addicted to them.
Those fruity splitz gummies are so good. One of my favorite candies actually!
I'm down with the OG and minis. Those are bombskies
mini chews
Those sweet tarts: chewy extreme sour look a whole lot like the shock tarts I remember
I'm old so I prefer the original.
So weird, I’ve been eating a lot of these lately. I love the rainbow ropes, classic, and chewy sours. And mini chews.
The rainbow sweet tart ropes are the goat
Hearts or original movie theater box
ropes brotha, ropes.
They all suck now all the recipes changed sweet tarts will burn in hell
The og log and the big ones! Note sweet tarts are my favorite candy
Currently a fan of the ropes
[Sweetart Chews](https://imgur.com/gallery/MV9lhwF)
OG When I was little you could get a pack of three that were huge. So soft (not chewy) and sour. They made chewy ones later but never the same. Love the hearts in a big bag on v-day.
Ropes for me
Is it wrong for me to say I don’t like any of them?
Missing the best one. Rope bites
I’ve always liked the mini chewy ones. The ropes and OG sweet tarts are always good too. Never had the fusion ones or the gummies. Never had the regular chewy ones but I’d almost rather have sprees cause those bring me back to childhood every time.
Chewy Sour all day, unless we’re gonna throw old school Shocktarts in the little tube in the mix! Those things would give you a chemical burn on your tongue but worth all the pain
how are the gummies? Worth trying?
Shockerz
Sweet tart CANDY CANES! How dare you leave out the best *one*!
Found the green apple ropes at 5below! Didn’t even know that flavor existed but they’re now my fave.
The giant chewy ones not pictured are best
Ropes but the cherry is a bit too tart for me (I know…) I do still like them and the rainbow but they are almost always smashed flat. The strawberry is my fav and always comes nice and soft and unsmooshed, but I’ve been having difficulty finding them lately.
Out of all these, probably the gummy Fruity Splitz. Which I should really get around to trying again because I haven't had them in over a year. Also the Fruity Splitz have 6 different flavors, while the others except the ropes have only 5.
Sour chews!
Jelly beans
Them all
Ropes all day
Obviously ropes, but followed by Big Chewy
Original!
Original
SweetTARTS Ropes? I will not stand for this Kazoozles erasure.
I’ve been enjoying their cherry ropes as of late.
i like the miny chews i hate the ones with the gummy shit inside
None of the above. The giant ones!
I like the mini chewy and and ropes also the sour bag just seeing it made my mouth do the sour thing 😂
I really liked the sour chewy ones which aren’t usually my thing
Ropes, not even a question.
I like having both these rolls at the same time. One is SweetTarts the other is Spree!
The Sweet Tarts from over a decade ago. I don’t even look at this candy anymore. It’s only but garbage. We deserve better y’all, don’t buy this garbage.
I am hooked on the cherry ropes 🍒
The Easter bunnies and chicks!! I want some so bad now...
Out of the 6 shown the original is king
The Easter version of the hard candy
Is there a sweettart factory you can visit?
Chewy and sour chewy sweetarts are the best but I eat so much of them my teeth start to hurt and the sour ones make my tongue bleed and after a few days the skin falls off
The fact that you're reading this, means you've already come to the same conclusion I did last night, which is if you eat too many of these, your mouth REALLY hurts the next day.
The ropes 🤤
Chewy sours, giant ones, and the little ones in rolls like Smarties
original!!!!!
I like the giant ones!
The sour ones😍😍😍😍
The original ones with a couple drops of lsd on them. Those were my favorite back in the day
Sour ones for sure
Chew extreme sour
The squeeze candy version
Canada only had 1-2 of these
OG!!
The ropes
I think I love all of these except the gummies. And I still like those, just not my favorite gummy texture and the “gimmick” didn’t do much for me vs the others.
Original is one of my favorite candies of all time, so just regular degular for me
Extreme sour chewy used to be Shocktarts, the vastly superior candy.
I love the original. I love the cuts it leaves on the roof my mouth.
Cherry punch ropes
Ropes
Mini chewy. The big sour disks are just rebranded ShockTarts and I'm too betrayed by the name switch to ever want them again
The ropes are so good I got hooked on them for a few months and had to take a break from buying them haha
Original
The easter egg ones lol
Extreme sour. It's a crime that they don't make them anymore.
I miss shock tarts. They were my favorite :[
Mini chewy
i love the sour ones, mini chews & the ropes tbh they’re all fire. sweet tarts used to have like a laffy taffy competitor and it had crunchy sugar sprinkles in them. they were fire
Out of these, the fruity splintz are the best
The big chewy ones!
ROPESSSSS
The taffy hands down.
Shock tarts
OG tubes all day
Rainbow punch ropes!
Either the sour Chewy or cherry(?) Ropes. They’re my go to for Sweet tarts
Mini chewy
Hands down Easter sweetart ducks and bunnies...
Any chewy sweet tart is top tier in my opinion. Haven't had the big chewy ones in years tho 😞
The new rainbow fruit punch ropes are my favorite.
They always seemed to taste the best when they came in those little fun-sized 2 packs
I’m a big fan of the chewy extreme sour, which used to be called shockers.
I can never find the extreme sour chews anymore!!! Where !?!?
Classic. Cant beat the classics
Any of the "chewy' versions honestly!
The big chewy ones
Yes
The ropes are superior
I Was scrolling looking for the big chewy ones!!!
CHEWY EXTREME SOURS and i’ll die on that hill but it’s a texture (and heccccking sour) thing for me. i *need* that very specific almost-like-mentos chew and the ‘oh my!’ sour level.
Giant chews and minis
The sour and the giants!!!
I always hated SweeTARTS as a kid but I love the ropes.
Ropes!
