Warheads — Extreme Sour American Candy

Warheads is America’s most extreme sour candy brand — founded in 1993 and famous for delivering the most intense, face-puckering sour hits in confectionery. The Warheads challenge is a rite of passage: how long can you keep the original hard candy on your tongue before the extreme sourness overwhelms you? The brand has since expanded into a full range of sour formats including chewy cubes, popping candy, gummy worms and squeeze gel — all with the same commitment to maximum sour intensity.

We stock the complete Warheads range.

Warheads Sour Popping Candy

The most extreme format — Warheads sour intensity combined with popping candy that crackles on the tongue. Singles at just 50p each: Watermelon 9g, Apple 9g and Blue Raspberry 7g. Or get all three in the Warheads Popping Candy 3 Pack 21g — £1.

How sour is Warheads?

Warheads uses malic acid as its primary souring agent — one of the most intense food-grade acids used in confectionery — which is why the initial hit is so extreme. The sour intensity fades after a few seconds as you work through the coating, leaving a sweet fruity centre. The challenge is getting there. If you’re a sour sweet fan who wants maximum intensity, Warheads is the brand for you.
