That tart taste, the cute tin, the citrus shape, the rattle it made when you took them out of your bag? I can hear my friends asking me for one, and then another, eventually eating me out of house and home.
Simpler times.
Well, I just found out they're selling on eBay for a lot of money, like a crazy amount of money for a tin of expired candy that has molded into hardened goop.
Take for example this can of mango sours:
"Candy is stuck together, expired 2009, the seal is intact all around. Not for consumption, consuming them is up to you," the description deliciously says.
That sold for $1,000.
$1,000!!!!!
Or these tangerine sours:
"Candy is stuck together and expired around 2005. I used to eat these all the time and now I'm selling off my stock pile. Anyone who had these knew they were the best."
$197.50!!
Sheesh.
Four tins of expired sours?
That'll be $349.99, ma'am.
I guess that's a deal?
This empty, EMPTY, tin of passion fruit sours:
$100!!!!
What.
OK lastly, this tin of opened hardened goop:
They're trying to sell that for $99.
You can't even eat it!!
In general, these things are worth money.
So, if for some godforsaken reason you have a tin of Sour Altoids hanging around, you might want to sell them.
