Candy Warheads Extreme Sours,60 Piece Assortment Other candy claimed as sour usually are not. Extreme Warheads is one of the leaders in lemon quality bitter sourness! Reader Reviews So, I was a kid when these first came out. They were really, really popular. ..anybody who was anybody ate warheads. I think the reason they were so popular was because kids would have contests-who could eat the most of these, who could hold it the longest before spitting the thing out, who could get the most in their mouth at one time...it was a status thing, basically. Most of us were a little scared of the candies because there would always be rumors of some kid in New Jersey who ate too many and whose tongue fell off-as far as I know that never actually happened, but when you're 7 or 8 you don't know that. Our moms probably started that one. However, if you ate too many your tongue would eventually go kind of numb and feel raw like you burnt off all your tastebuds, so the theory that someone's tongue burnt off altogether seemed pretty plausible. They'd also give you a stomachache. So, as far as sour candies go, these are the sourest I know of. Just thinking about them still makes my lips pucker. However, they really didn't taste that good. I remember Black Cherry was by favorite, but the other ones I wouldn't touch. Good memories all around, though! |
