minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·3 days agoThis is funny because like 10 years ago or so they had to lower the amount of acid they put in warheads because people kept getting acid burns from eating too many.
minus-squaredemomanlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 days agoI remember them being way more sour back then. I chalked it up to me being an adult for why they are less sour lol
minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 days agoYeah it was due to the “warheads challenge” where people would just shove warheads into their mouths. Lots of hospital visits later the warheads company changed their formula.
