OUR Tornado ID feature actually CAUGHT the twin tornadoes captured here!
- Notice the "jumpy" behavior, this is abnormal for Tornado ID (watch the end of the video for a normal behavior). With this photo, and with the location of the Tornado IDs on radar aligned, we now know it wasn't abnormal... It was trying to tell us something!
.@realTylerZed I've come to the conclusion from watching you for years that you should see an eye doctor π the stairs with carpet that you said you thought may be linoleum?! Brother! Get checked out haha. This isn't the first time your eyesight has baffled me π₯΄
π¨ The Storm Prediction Center just bumped eastern Iowa and northern Illinois up to a Level 4 of 5 for today.
This is already in motion. A bowing line of storms that fired overnight has a history of severe wind gusts from Nebraska into Iowa, and it's pushing east-northeast through midday. As it does, the tornado risk picks up, not just the wind.
Then comes round two. As the cold front fires new storms this afternoon and evening, the low-level jet cranks back up and the line marches toward Lake Michigan, across Illinois, Indiana, and Lower Michigan.
Damaging winds are the headline, but strong tornadoes are on the table too. If you're anywhere from eastern Iowa through Chicago and into southern Wisconsin, today is the day to keep your phone close and your plan ready. We'll be LIVE on this.
That's crazy. Here's what we've done and been through since then...
- End of 2018: Caleb gets the idea for Sour Boys, the same year ES6 is teased... The seed was planted.
- 2020: Sour Boys is legally founded. Caleb and Cole (Rifty) decide to take their shot in the candy business.
- March 2021: Soft Launch is incredibly well received by our audiences, showing that there was demand for something different than typical YouTuber merch.
- We come to the realization that, like every other licorice strip brand out there, we were just importing our candy from the EU with two of the same common recycled flavors everyone else was doing, with zero strategy and horrible marketing.
- 2022: We decide to manufacture candy ourselves, in house. No more white-labeling. Cole parts ways while Caleb scrapes together the money needed to buy the candy-making equipment, and hires Jake Fullerton AKA Xelderon, a fan who claimed he wanted to help realize the vision, to build the machine.
- Jake takes the money from Caleb with a signed contract but never delivers on his promise. Lies after delays, delays after lies. "I just need $30,000 more" "I'm in the hospital" ... classic con stuff.
- July/August 2022: Out of desperation for answers and the machine that'd gone way over budget, a convoy of people including Caleb's dad, travel to Georgia to pick up whatever equipment is working and bring it back to Texas. On August 6th, 2022, they return with some, but not all of the machine, but things finally feel real.
- Caleb, his friends, and his family, install everything themselves, but even the equipment they have is still in Chinese, because the scammer, who'd taken all of this time to try and translate everything to English, to hide that he'd imported the machine rather than build it himself, couldn't even do that correctly.
- More problems: Attempts to make candy result in multiple failures. Caleb and crew teach themselves how to make candy from scratch, reading essentially every confectionary book available, and after 20,000 pounds of failure, cracked the code.
- June 2023: Official launch of the new, self-manufactured Sour Boys, with a documentary exposing the $1,000,000 scam, but it's still an uphill battle.
- Candy formulas are adjusted with every new batch and every new flavor (and there are lots of flavors) to finally dial in on the perfect strip. Collaboration flavors with creators we love bring our product to even more audiences.
- July 2024: Lil Guys, our sour gummies, launch! Now we're not just selling licorice belts, but also real fruit gummies!
- April 2025: Caleb and Kris get married and Sour Boys is their child. They are co-founders of the greatest candy brand on the planet π
- October 2025: Legend of Zalk, the mobile game expanding upon the Sour Boys lore, with villains like Red Fordee and Yello Fyve, releases a beta.
- November 2025: Sour Ups, our candy coating sold separately so you can add it to anything you could ever imagine, launches on the website with three flavors, Mutant Orange, Scary Apple, and Grim Grape.
- We're seeing a common request, more gummy flavors for the Lil Guys, which previously had just been peach, watermelon and cherry gummies covered in rotating sour sand flavors.
- Late 2025 - Early 2026: work begins to reformulate Lil Guys gummy bases to introduce new flavors for even more possible flavor combinations no other company has ever attempted.
- April 2026: We rework our sour scale from 1-5 to 0-100 alongside the release of our very first launch of the new fruit gummies. We also rework the Sour Ups to be additive to the sour scale rating of our candy flavors, (+10, +15, +20, etc.)
- May 2025: Sour Boys and @drinkEchelon release their first collaboration, a Twilight Fusion energy drink using the same blackberry, black cherry, and vanilla flavor as the Twilight Fusion candy.
- June 2026: We announced that our sour belts, the first product we ever launched, are being temporarily discontinued as we reformulate how we can bring them to you without compromising on quality, because you only deserve the best candy.
- Today: We're still releasing new flavors each and every single month with the same dedication to using clean ingredients, real fruit, and no compromises. Our team of artists still design every bag by hand to offer you a feast for your eyes before you can even taste what's inside.
We've released over 85 flavors from the familiar to the bizarre. Still no investors, still no middlemen, and still no Elder Scrolls VI.
Sudanese. Of course! Are we done letting these vicious freaks into our civilized nations yet?! ROUND THEM UP AND SEND THEM BACK. https://t.co/bpYxkNRWHh

The Dakotas and Nebraska are the spot to watch today, and it's a long one.
A trough rolls off the northern Rockies into a 70-degree-dewpoint airmass, firing supercells along a dryline by late afternoon. A few could spin up strong tornadoes early, then everything congeals into a wind machine after dark with 60 to 80 mph gusts.
This is a Level 3 of 5 that runs well into the night, so don't put the phone on silent.
@McJuggerNuggets Next time somebody tells me that abortions for the sake of convenience donβt happen, Iβll show them this post.
You had literally one job: protect your family. Instead, you killed the smallest member of your family because you were concerned he or she would make your life hard.
