Sour Patch Kids: Surprising Benefits You Didn't Know About

Sour Patch Kids can be used to ground oneself during a panic attack, alleviate muscle cramps, and provide quick carbs during a workout. While not a substitute for therapy or better coping strategies, sour candy can provide an intense sensory experience that can help break the cycle of a panic attack. Strong-tasting foods like pickle juice, hot peppers, vinegar, and ginger have been suggested as possible cramp cures, and sour candy may also trigger the nervous system to release cramps. Additionally, candy can be a great source of intra-workout carbs and a way to make friends at competitions.
