Sour Sweets (also known as Sour Candy) are the only wholly negative type of sweet in Viva Piñata. Sour sweets attract resident piñatas to eat them, and any piñata who eats one immediately becomes sick.
Appearance
Sour sweets use the classic red and black color scheme associated with Professor Pester and his allies, with a spiky pattern reminiscent of tribal tattoos.
Gameplay
Sour sweets cannot be bought and are instead released into the garden by Ruffians and Sour Piñatas. When a piñata or Ruffian drops a sour sweet, a loud jingle plays to notify the player. Sour sweets release a steady stream of Dastardos icons, indicating their potential to cause sickness.
Background
According to the Storybook, sour sweets were concocted by Professor Pester (then going under the name Lester) to turn piñatas evil. He first began creating them while working for Jardiniero. The gardener would quickly discover him stirring a pot of the liquefied candy, and fire him on the spot upon realizing what he was doing. This would cause Lester to resent Jardiniero and his growing family, and begin plotting his revenge.
Years later, Lester would use sour sweets to lure Stardos away from the garden, claiming that they could attract any piñata. This was of course a lie, and Stardos would never be seen again, at least not as he once was. It is unknown what specifically happened to him, but it is implied that the sour sweets may be to blame for his transformation into Dastardos.
Sour sweets may also be used in the creation of sour piñatas, as suggested by Ruffian 4 in The P Factor[1]. This process is unknown, but feeding certain species enough sour sweets may be what turns them sour. In-game, former sours get sick from eating sour sweets, just like any other piñata.
