Warheads: the American candy designed to test the limits of the human palate since 1993!

Did you know Warheads acidity is the highest legally allowed in candy?

The secret of Warheads' intensity is an acid cocktail coated on every piece: malic acid (same as in very sour apples), ascorbic acid and citric acid. Malic acid is the most powerful of the three — it provokes intense salivation and a contraction of the salivary glands that literally makes your face screw up. This coating fades after 20 to 30 seconds to reveal the fruity sweetness underneath. It's this transition from extreme sourness to sweetness that's so addictive.

In 1999, the brand was valued at $40 million. Warheads was and remains the sourest candy on the American market. Try to believe!
