Lots of sour candies from early 1900s till the year you mentioned. Lifesavers had sour since the 20s. Jawbreakers and toxic waste brand since the 70s. Lick-a-Stick, Sherbert Sour Powder, etc

But almost non-existent by the 60s-70s.

Now, ubiquitous.

Jaw breakers and sour tarts were big in the 80s when I grew up

Sweettarts. Kinda sour, not bad. Jawbreakers weren't sour.

They sold sour Jawbreakers from WilliWonka brand, Dino Eggs Sours. Notice bottom right Jawbreaker written on it. These are what I was thinking of. https://www.candywrappermuseum.com/dinasoureggs.html

I loved jawbreakers, the little ones you could shatter teeth on
