I ended up ordering malic and fumaric acids as well. I like the malic acid a lot, but the fumaric acid is really hard to taste. Not being soluble in water it just sits on the tongue being slightly sour. I probably just haven’t found the right use for it yet.
The best part of sour patch kids was the white powder left over at the bottom of the wrapper.
I once had a one-pound bag of Sour Skittles, and after eating all of them, consumed the entirety of the white powder left over in the bag at once. Simply thinking about that experience is sufficient to produce a huge burst of saliva.
Did you ever get down to trying fumaric acid? How does it compare to citric and malic acids?
I’ve added an update to that post: http://www.jefftk.com/p/citric-acid
THANK YOU WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF DOING THAT THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ALL JAM EDIBLE FOREVER
Adding citric acid to overly sweet jam is indeed wonderful.

That powder is mostly citric acid mixed with sugar. Mmm.
Thanks! Will not order then.
If you’re ever in Boston I’m happy to give you some to play with.
Uncertain how soon I will be able take you up on this, but thanks!
