WARHEADS / Cukierki

Warheads are the ultimate ultra-sour candies crafted by Impact Confections. What started as jaw-dropping lollipops has evolved into a whole lineup of gummies, jelly beans, chewing gum, and more. You might think they’ve always been an American classic, but these sour bombs actually originated in Taiwan back in 1975! They didn’t hit US stores until 1993, and it wasn’t until 2004 that Impact Confections officially launched the Warheads brand for American candy lovers. So why are Warheads so ridiculously sour? It’s all due to a powerful coating of malic acid that delivers an explosive puckering effect the moment the candy hits your tongue—lasting for a thrilling 30 seconds! After the blast, gentler citric and ascorbic acids ease in for a smooth, lingering sour finish. Hence the name “Warheads”—like a missile warhead, it’s a flavor explosion! 🤯
