I walked to Chapman’s Pharmacy everyday for a lime sour after school when I went to Hapeville High School in the late 1960’s. After watching this great video I am going to get my daughter and my Grandaughter and return to Chapman’s to get a lime sour next week. We live about 30 minutes away but it will be well worth it to go. I can hardly wait, I hope that I don’t cry when I get there due to all of the fond memories. I didn’t know that it was still there until watching this video, thank you for sharing. ♥️🥰😍😘
The salt works by interfering with the bitterness of the lime. Without that bitterness, you can taste the small amount of sugar that lime juice contains.
@@sunnysea24 that's actually why I hate coffee it's too bitter and adding sugar and milk to cancel it out makes it too sweet. You might have just made me a coffee drinker. Thx
Hi Lofty Pursuits -- growing up in India, this was a common drink. Ice came in only if you bought the drink from your neighborhood cart vendor (hawker) . The other difference is that we used black salt instead of sea salt.
Black salt is a form of rock salt widely used in South Asia. Chemical impurities give the solid crystals a dark purple to brown colour (becoming pink when finely ground) as well as a distinctive flavour.
Growing up in India, I love fresh lime soda all through the crazy hot summers and it's much like what the lady made. Water works too for the much needed hydration.
Max Maker it’s not forgotten they do this in many Hispanic countries, you can choose the flavors and this is just one way I love eating those when I vacation
As an American I stand as they do not do this at all, if anything were lucky this shop exists, this is a dying way to do things in America it’s rare at least in USA and Canada
I recently ordered these, along with the Tangerine Sours and Peach Image candy, and I can definitely say that these are the best hard candies I've ever tasted. Tasted like a lime, along with the fizziness you'd expect from a soda. Currently the online store is sold out of most of their candies, but when they restock I'm definitely gonna buy these again. Along with others I wanna try like the Black Currant drops.
Interesting. I've never encountered that and I've been exposed to a lot of Pakistani foods. Now im going to have bug some friends to see if they make it
@@LoftyPursuits just come to north Dakota we have lots of people from that region from Iraq Afghanistan I'm sure they make it I ll ask a few people I use to work with here
Ordered some of this candy when I first watched the video when it came out, absolutely worth it tastes better then described I am typing this as I wrote and much worth the wait given the fact I am from Oregon and I am one of hundreds of customers this small shop must ship to I am very pleased with it and my only regret is not having ordered any more!
His smile at 7:04 makes my day every time I watch this video. It really is evident that you are in love with your work and have a real passion for it, and I love that.
Hey thanks for making these videos, I have bad anxiety that sometimes prevents me from sleeping but these wholesome vids help me to calm down and sleep I really appreciate what your doing
People talk about Coca-Cola acid all the time, that is why it is so bad for your teeth, and it dissolves rust and stuff. However the salt and acid info is great to know because my dad would put salted peanuts in a Coke and drink it. Right before he passed he acted like he was addicted. Now that I realize it deals with the dry mouth it make sense.
PlayerNamedQuix Yes Because making hard candy that resembles toy glass balls that children play with and could die if they try to eat is a smart thing.
My dad and I own and operate Victorian woodworking machinery and it totally blows my mind to see and learn about Victorian candymaking equipment as well. Will definitely be visiting on my next trip to Florida!
This video was interesting enough that after it ended I went and ordered some candy! Love the history behind this flavor, and all the information you included with it.
What do you think about strawberry-basil flavoured candy? (the strawberry part tasting more like strawberry jam than the usual strawberry flavour of candy). I once tryed that combination in Brügge (Belgium) and fell in love with it. I never found candy with that flavour again. Back then it was pillow-shaped with red, green and white stripes, but you could do amazing image candy with that colour combo too. I would love to see your take on that! : )
i've made smoothies/slushes with that flavor combination, and it's super good! watermelon and basil is also really tasty, but dealing with the seeds is less fun.
@@Sidheag That sounds very refreshing. I'm definitely going to try that this summer. I got a small strainer that catches bigger seeds but not the pulp. That might work quite well for watermelon.
Your videos are so uncommon in the best way. Informative, soothing and wholesome. I like my kids can watch these and learn something and not have to cover their ears. We always think of y'all during hurricane season. We live on the Carolina coast, so we keep our eyes on the storms just like y'all do. I hope to come to see your store one day! ❤
Hey Greg, I’m just a regular high school student, and the stress that comes with all of it can be almost crippling. Somehow, your videos always manage to relax my mind and just let me completely “cool off”. Thank you so much for everything you do, and I hope I can come visit you the next time I go to Florida!
My dad starved me as a punishment and I have a eating disorder now self diagnosed though I've been using marijuana to counter it never saw a doctor for it I get scolded for using it by my entire wife every day getting called a druggie
I purchased these and let me say they are AMAZING! I only told my kids it was Lime flavored and after they tasted it said it fizzed like soda. The flavor and effect speaks for itself. Brilliant work Greg
i used to watch this channel everyday to fall asleep freshman year and then i lost your account, now i’m a senior and i’ve finally found you again i’m so happy
The quality, depth of knowledge and passion for the history of the topics on this channel are beyond inspiring. Thanks for being awesome and I can't wait to try these in my order!
I live in the netherlands aswell and shipping cost for me when I looked it up was only 16,87 for normal shipping Or 58 for priority shipment .still to much for some candy but a bit more manageable in price.
Tbh I watch a lot of Hercules Candy vids, and I have looked at their stuff, and that is a 85 dollar shipping fee, so I really just thought it would be the same here. @@robinv6461
it's rare to see him narrating in front of the camera. I love it. :D. The satisfaction I get from your videos is on par with the candy you make. Not just the candy making process, but the way you string words along as you narrate is like poetry, combined with your soft voice, and your love for what you do. It simply brings me joy. I am a blacksmith and you are making me want to forge myself a candy hook.
After watching this channel for some time now, I ordered some of this and two other flavors, and got them yesterday. I was not disappointed with the quality of the candies nor the flavors. Thank you for putting up these videos. Watching you make candies for all this time is what inspired me to order from you and I love what I got.
Friend of mine brought back a bag of these and gave them to me, these are delicious, and sweeter than I would have thought. They remind me of the “slushees” a neighborhood lady used to make for the kids during the summer in Baltimore. So it’s a really nostalgic taste for me.
ETA: It’s always fun to see you look at the camera occasionally to acknowledge us viewers 😊 We had an historic soda fountain in a pharmacy (Saywell’s in Hudson, OH) near my hometown, and we loved going there for REAL phosphates, ice cream sodas, shakes, and malts. It closed down years ago, and I still miss it. Such happy memories. They had the old telephone booth still there, old medicine bottles on display... just amazing.
Learning about classic regional drinks is very interesting! I had a totally unrelated question though. So, I’ve become addicted to your channel, and decided to go back to the very beginning. To my surprise, it wasn’t you narrating, but a young man. Whatever happened to him? Was it his shop before or was he just doing the videos for you?
you should make workshops with people in your shop, or sell "make your own candy" tickets. (if you are not already doing it) people would love to experience your work themselves! ;-) please make a candy that looks like my lime-green/white swirly logo :D
Diabetes is a serious health problem. You should quit. Start drinking carbonated water or ginger ale. They have some some pretty good ginger beers on the market aswell.
We used to have that without the ice when I was a kid for colds. We also have a drink called Tejuino which is made from fermented corn, lime juice and salt. It's very refreshing
Just opened my package of lofty pursuits candy. I was most excited about this one. Not what I was expecting, but still so good. I think it's starting to fizz a bit.
I really like the nerdy science and history bits added to these videos. Those are what keeps me coming back. But how come you never have any videos about making drops with licorice and/or anise? Are those just impossible to sell in your country? If they’re somewhat unpopular, compared to in European countries, then that could perhaps be the basis for a nerdy lecture in culinary history...
I love that your content is not just about candy making anymore. It's got science and how people come up with flavors and history even. I love this channel as much as I love sour drinks and candies. I wish I could try the candies you make one day.
Here in Mexico City (and I believe in other parts of the country as well) we have that same thing as the "lime sour", if you are walking around downtown you'll see adapted shopping carts being pulled with lots of glass bottled mineral water, a bag of limes a plate of salt and a big block of ice, you ask for one and it will be prepared at the moment. The majority of people call it "Tehuacán preparado" my grandma loves it, always after shopping or visiting a museum we'll get one to share. She says when se was a kid, in the 60's, was one of the only "treats" they could afford, since it has been always very cheap. This video was so cool, I love your channel.
So this flavor comes from my current home state. It is absolutely refreshing, especially during the summer months. Greg's science lesson is spot on too. You really need to try this flavor! So very satisfying! I'll be ordering more for sure.
I was lucky enough to get my order of this, madness, and cherry leminoles in the other day and I just have to say WOW. These are absolutely wonderful. I've never had a lime sour before but this candy has definitely inspired me to make one on my own one day.
the original Dwarf House was called the Dwarf Grill when it opened, because the grill was so small. (I used to live in Hapeville many years ago, but I moved to East Point, then several other places around Georgia). I now live about 30 minutes southwest of there down I-85.
To be quite honest, I accidentally stumbled upon your channel, and at first, I was not a fan whatsoever. But I kept seeing videos on my feed that piqued my interest, this being one of them. I don't think there's really much of anything I could say against you or this channel, this is so wholesome. Really dig your videos now, and your demeanor! I hope you keep it up chief! I hope I can stop by the shop some day
I just received a bag of lime sours in the mail, and they do not disappoint. Lime is my favorite flavor from the citrus mix, and this incarnation of the flavor is great. I love the strong lime flavor, and the spritz from the baking soda is a nice addition. Keep up the great work Greg and co!
I just love how this company takes an amazing soft drink and incorporates its traits into an even better Candy. Thank you, to all you guys working there at Lofty Pursuits.
Every morning I have trouble eating breakfast because of dry mouth, It usually doesn't get better until lunch time and by that time I'm starving. Hopefully this lime drink will help! Thanks for all the interesting info and all the work you put in to making these clips, truly wholesome!
I ordered a pack of these and the dill pickle. I went in thinking the dill was going to be my favorite but the lime sour blew me away it was perfect. Great job can't wait to get more
I was just gifted a bag of these and the peach drops. I’m never ever eating any other hard candy again. The flavors are so good and balanced with the sweet and sour and flavor.
I enjoy watching you make candy drops. Watching your videos helps ease my anxiety I'm not sure how but its relaxing to watch I hope I can visit your store one day

Tell them we sent you. It's the same. You'll love it.
Did you make it there?
Can you you give us a edit. This is a wholesome story.
Yes, update please. I find I am oddly invested in knowing if you made it there with your family to have a lime sour!
Can you tell us how it was?
The salt works by interfering with the bitterness of the lime. Without that bitterness, you can taste the small amount of sugar that lime juice contains.
thats where the sweet taste comes from! interesting
The same can be applied to coffee. Sprinkle in a bit of salt and it cuts down on the bitterness pretty effectively!
@@sunnysea24 that's actually why I hate coffee it's too bitter and adding sugar and milk to cancel it out makes it too sweet. You might have just made me a coffee drinker. Thx
@@joeydunn7727 I also do it, a small amount of salt and you can taste the sweet chocolateyness of coffee.

This video was so cool, I love your channel.
So this flavor comes from my current home state. It is absolutely refreshing, especially during the summer months. Greg's science lesson is spot on too. You really need to try this flavor! So very satisfying! I'll be ordering more for sure.
Bought an order of these, the cotton candy humbugs, and the banana candy, and the lime soda candies are my favorite!
I was lucky enough to get my order of this, madness, and cherry leminoles in the other day and I just have to say WOW. These are absolutely wonderful. I've never had a lime sour before but this candy has definitely inspired me to make one on my own one day.
the original Dwarf House was called the Dwarf Grill when it opened, because the grill was so small. (I used to live in Hapeville many years ago, but I moved to East Point, then several other places around Georgia). I now live about 30 minutes southwest of there down I-85.
Ordered some of these. They are truly delicious - just the perfect balance of flavors, and I love the hint of carbonation.
To be quite honest, I accidentally stumbled upon your channel, and at first, I was not a fan whatsoever. But I kept seeing videos on my feed that piqued my interest, this being one of them. I don't think there's really much of anything I could say against you or this channel, this is so wholesome. Really dig your videos now, and your demeanor! I hope you keep it up chief! I hope I can stop by the shop some day
I just received a bag of lime sours in the mail, and they do not disappoint. Lime is my favorite flavor from the citrus mix, and this incarnation of the flavor is great. I love the strong lime flavor, and the spritz from the baking soda is a nice addition. Keep up the great work Greg and co!
I just love how this company takes an amazing soft drink and incorporates its traits into an even better Candy. Thank you, to all you guys working there at Lofty Pursuits.
These are the most fascinating and relaxing videos, I could fall asleep listening to you!
Every morning I have trouble eating breakfast because of dry mouth, It usually doesn't get better until lunch time and by that time I'm starving. Hopefully this lime drink will help! Thanks for all the interesting info and all the work you put in to making these clips, truly wholesome!
I ordered a pack of these and the dill pickle. I went in thinking the dill was going to be my favorite but the lime sour blew me away it was perfect. Great job can't wait to get more
My 9 yr old stumbled upon you guys today. Guess who now has to order some candy?! Much love from coastal NC.
I was just gifted a bag of these and the peach drops. I’m never ever eating any other hard candy again. The flavors are so good and balanced with the sweet and sour and flavor.
Watching him drop the candy and see it separate into all the little candies is extremely satisfying. Almost ASMR.
This is my favorite episode of yours out of the 15 or so that Ive watched. A road trip inside of a mental Road Trip.
It really is good. I made this drink myself and I cannot believe how good it is and makes me feel so quenched.
Bruh!!!! I grew up here! My elementary school is literally a few mins away. I’m so happy it’s getting some love 🥲
I am eating these right now. You totally got it right. This one is tied with the lavender candy as my favorite.
Thanks for the candy, it tastes AMAZING, your videos make it look a lot bigger than it was. So much flavor in such small pieces. They're perfect.
Dropping is always my favourite part of these videos. It is so pleasing to watch.
I enjoy watching you make candy drops. Watching your videos helps ease my anxiety I'm not sure how but its relaxing to watch I hope I can visit your store one day
I've been making thay drink since I was 4😂 but I'm happy that there is a place that sells it
Just ordered some of this and the black currant, can’t wait to try it!
