S-Märke is a Swedish sour-candy icon — the giant sour-coated discs stamped with a bold "S". Born inside Malaco in the 1950s, S-Märke helped define the Swedish taste for sour, chewy, intensely flavoured candy and remains one of the most popular pick-and-mix items in Sweden.
The story
S-Märke isn't a separate company so much as a sub-brand that's grown bigger than its parent line. The discs are unmistakable: about the size of a 50-cent coin, sour-coated, fruit-flavoured, with a single bold 'S' pressed into the centre. SuperSour (the multi-flavour assortment) is the entry point; the single-flavour bags (sour apple, sour strawberry, blue raspberry, sour watermelon, blackcurrant) are how regulars buy.

Where S-Märke fits in the wider candy world
Widely cited as Sweden's favourite sour candy. The format — large coin-shaped chewy disc with a stamped letter — is unique to S-Märke. If you've eaten BUBS Sour Skulls and want the Swedish version of a sour disc instead of a sour skull, S-Märke is the answer.
Where to start
SuperSour for the assortment, Sour Blue Raspberry for the strongest single-flavour signature.
