I always found it confusing that these candies (and brand other candies of the sour persuasion) became STUPIDLY more popular than their "hot" couterparts.
I always quite liked the hot ones.
Here, all we got was orange and grape hot warheads, and sour...like sour every other fucking thing under the sun.
Not that I mind the sour ones, I just liked the hot ones a lot...I'm down with spicy and sweet.
Now, another thing about the sour ones, I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but I used to be able to eat heaps of these things, I was the king of the straight face...bought a whole damn bucket of the things once just to practice...and I liked 'em (apple).
But nowadays, I can eat one, keep a straight face just fine as always, but if I eat more'n like two of them in a row, they start ripping the shit outta my tongue. Acid burns...well, it always happened, but it seems either they got worse, or I just got outta practice...takes far fewer to inflict actual physical damage.
While on this topic - if you really want a bastard of a time with these sour warhead/candy things, get two of them, and put one on either side of the back of your tongue (like between tongue and teeth) and try holding 'em there, moving them 'round ever so slightly. Sour CRAZINESS! That's my challenge.
Yeah, the hot ones are great...but seems they've dissapeared!...or, very few stores carry them. They have those redhot things in the US, and hot tamales - the cinnamon based hot stuff is nice, but not quite the same.
That reminds me - if you eat one of those hot tamales with whatever the grape ones are (they are from the same company, same size and all), that there's a nice combination....
Err....anyways, gotta cut down sugars this year...just thought I'd share.
