HOLY CRAP.
An 8 oz bag of Sour Patch Kids is 192 g of sugar. The bag weighs 227 g.
The label reads sugar, invert sugar, corn syrup and modified corn starch, then under 2% of tartaric acid, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1. The first 3 ingredients are sugar in 3 forms. Invert sugar is table sugar split into glucose and fructose so it stays soft and doesn't crystallize, and corn syrup does the same thing from the other direction. The starch is what makes it a gummy instead of a syrup.
The sour is the under 2%. FDA's listing for tartaric acid describes it as a byproduct of wine manufacturing, the crust that forms inside wine tanks, scraped out, purified and ground to a powder. Most of the world's supply still comes from wineries. The rest, mostly made in China since the late 1990s, starts from maleic anhydride, a petrochemical, and a bacterial enzyme turns it into tartaric acid. Citric acid is the one grown on a mold. Both acids are in the sugar coating on the outside of the candy, which is why the bag says sour then sweet.

We have located the Red Barron worker who was harassed by degenerate TikTok pranksters.
Also, shame on the parents of those TikTok "content creators."
Even as a kid, I wouldn't have done something like this to a guy simply trying to do his job.
Consider sending him a few bucks on GoFundMe to help him out.

"Lincoln Riley will be fired because UCLA is going to make the playoff with a coach Syracuse said no to!" 😮
📺 @howaboutafresca and @SwollenDome discuss why UCLA is the reason Riley will be fired at USC, not his actual coaching performance 👀

Grace sadly passed away after being hit by a car in December 2023. She was such a familiar face in the neighborhood, and in August 2024, local artists painted a large mural of her on a house right across from the supermarket. Now shoppers can still see Grace when they visit Morrisons.

UPDATE: $100,000 has been raised for Walt, the Red Barron employee harassed to the breaking point by a nuisance streamer. The owner of this GoFund Me has made contact with him and we have reached out as well. Walt is “overwhelmed” by the generosity. America is still great.

Sooner Nation, do we know a family of three who would enjoy going to the OU game this Saturday but otherwise couldn't afford it?
I've got three tickets I'd love to give them. Help me find somebody!
Boomer! #BoomerSooner
