It's not often a candy is marketed towards gun owners. At SHOT Show earlier this year, I came across a booth handing out sample packs of watermelon sour gummies. They were tasty. But tactical candies?
Tactical Snacks is a veteran-owned company that puts out Watermelon Overwatch flavored sour gummy candies. But what makes these "tactical" is that they were created to provide low-sugar alternatives to regular gummy candies. They come in two varieties: Sour gummy with 3g of net carbs and High Protein with 9g of net carbs and 8mg of protein per packet. Their ingredients have a welcome lack of high-fructose corn syrup.
The taste of the Sour Gummy variant is very similar to Sour Patch Kids candies. The High Protein variant has a harder and chewier mouth feel and a sharp, slightly bitter aftertaste. It reminds me of chewing on vitamin-C tablets. The Sour Gummy is my favorite of the two, but both would be satisfactory on a hike or patrol.
