— May 14, 2022 — Marketing
The Warheads Sour Popping Candy from Hilco is a super-sour take on the classic childhood candy variety for kids or kids-at-heart to pick up and enjoy.

The candy features a powdery format that, when eaten, will deliver a burst of very sour flavor along with a crackling texture that could further enhance the sourness of the product. The candy comes in three flavors including Watermelon, Green Apple and Blue Raspberry, which will receive Halloween-themed updates come fall including Wicked Watermelon, Cackle Apple and R.I.P. Raspberry.

The Warheads Sour Popping Candy comes in a three-pack for $1.99, which includes three individual pouches with seven-grams each. The product is suitable for children aged three and up, but is only for those who can handle extreme sourness.
