Eat a Jar of Dicks

Shaped to pass for an ordinary jar of sour candy, this novelty treat relies on the reveal. The label spells out exactly what is inside, and the pieces carry the joke through the first bite.

Candy Shaped to Match the Name

Each piece is formed and colored to resemble the thing its name suggests, so the jar makes its point before anyone opens it. The flavor is sour from the start, with a tangy, mouth-puckering bite that builds rather than fades. Most people expect something mild and get a surprise instead.

What the Candy Is Made Of

The pieces are made from dextrose, corn starch, and dextrin, colored with Red Number 3, Blue Number 1, and Yellow 5 and 6, then finished with shellac and artificial flavoring. A serving of 10 pieces comes to about 38 calories, with no fat or protein and roughly 6 grams of sugar. The packaging is designed to keep the candy fresh and its color vivid.

Two Options, Both in 2-Pound Jars

Both versions come in a 2-pound jar. The Sour Dicks version is the one built for extra tartness, while the original offers a tangy, puckering flavor. Keep the jar sealed between servings so the candy stays fresh.
