Beloved candy returning to market 14 years after being discontinued: ‘Childhood memories unlocked’

Fans were sour when this sweet was taken off shelves — but now it’s returning to market more than a decade after being discontinued.

Altoids Sours first went on sale back in 2001, before being nixed nine years later.

Since 2010, desperate fans have started multiple change.org petitions begging for the candy to be brought back.

Now, they’ve finally succeeded — but there’s a catch.

The sweets will only be on sale at Cracker Barrel’s Old Country Store and will be sold under a different name, food Instagram account Snackolator revealed.

Every location of the popular Southern food restaurant has a store attached, full of nostalgic accessories and snacks.

However, Iconic Candy clarified to The Post that the candies “will also be available to all retailers nationwide who wish to bring it in.”

Snackolator shared that the candies will not be made by Altoids, accounting for the name change.

They’re reportedly being made by the third-party company Iconic Candy , a family-owned and operated candy company that specializes in bringing back discontinued favorites, and the candy will now be known as Retro Sours.

Snackolator also claimed that the revival will use the same original recipe, though Iconic Candy never claimed nor confirmed that the original recipe will be used.

Flavors customers can expect to find include mango, tangerine and citrus.

Altoids Sours lovers are seemingly ecstatic about the news, commenting that they “can’t wait till they’re back.”
