We have another guest candy review today. This time it’s from my buddy Aaron from The Sitter Downers Podcast and from his High Caliber Guns blog. Aaron is reviewing Toxic Waste candy:
My wife loves to watch my facial reactions to sour candy. In our almost 10 years of marriage she has subjected me to dozens of sour candy concoctions with the sole purpose of seeing the sour-induced agony on my ugly puss. Well, she has reached a new level of torture with Toxic Waste Hazardously Sour Candy.
Over the Easter holiday someone left an Easter basket of goodies for my wife and her co-workers in the break area. In that basket was a drum of Toxic Waste. Of course my wife couldn’t pass up another chance to subject my facial muscles to an extreme workout. She brought home one for each of us, sans herself…go figure, and presented them to me and the boys after dinner. Needless to say, I was the first victim.
I chose watermelon thinking it couldn’t be all that bad, at least not as bad as say, lemon. How can I put this? I was wrong. Toxic Waste is bar none, the most sour candy I have ever put in my mouth. My wife didn’t tell me that you must keep the candy in your mouth for a full sixty seconds if you wish to be counted among the few, the proud, a “Full Toxic Head”. I failed the test and had the candy out of my mouth within about 30 seconds, entitling me only to “Cry Baby” status according to the drum the candy came in.
Not wishing to remain a loser after she filled me in on my Toxic Waste status, I put the candy back in my mouth and was pleased to find that the candy mellowed out into a very tasty watermelon. My false sense of security was soon destroyed when I found out through experience that Toxic Waste candy is the only sour candy on the market that has a “surprise” sour center. What can I say, I love this stuff!
While the candy comes in five flavors: apple, watermelon, lemon, blue raspberry, and black cherry, I have only tried watermelon and lemon. I am proud to say that I was able to withstand the entire test with my lemon Toxic Waste and earned the official title of “Full Toxic Head”. That’s good right?

April 23rd, 2007 at 8:33 pmMy Husband just bought some of these today at the $ store. He gave them to the kids. One of the boys bit into it right away, and ran from the room screaming and spitting it into his hand. Some of the kids spit it out quickly, but kept trying, and some of the kids were able to keep it in to the “Full toxic Head” status. Overall, the kids loved this candy and want more.

Ahh.
I found these in a store today
and bought them.
Me and my friend each put one in at the same time
and it was sour at first.
But then we were like
“are you serious? it’s not even sour..”
then I got to the end.
oh my gosh.
so sour!
But, I’ve had more.
August 10th, 2007 at 12:46 amAnd I’ve never spit one out, or even come close to it.
So i guess i’m a full toxic head :)
most sour candy ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 no contest
January 24th, 2008 at 7:36 pmthis isnot even as sour as warheads i give it 3 stars, not
January 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pmto mention its made in pakistan so were probably eating real toxic waste
Like Brennan said it’s got a little kick to it but overall it’s not that sour, I’ll take warheads over this “waste” of money candy anyday.
February 20th, 2008 at 10:20 amI tried these a few days ago and didn’t think they were really that sour. I was actually more soured by the fact that they have articial flavoring and they are made in Pakistan.
March 15th, 2008 at 1:31 pmme and my friend ate a whole barrel in like 40 mins and are tongues pretty much hurt for 2 whole days after! SOO i decided to buy some more and bring them to school! For some people they are not so bad but some kids faces were priceless two people started cryen in the middle of class! gotta love sour candy for only a dollar!!!
March 21st, 2008 at 4:36 amIt’s ‘Full Toxie Head’, not full toxic head!
also, they’re manufactured in the UK, not pakistan!
March 27th, 2008 at 9:35 amSays on the barrel, “Manufactured for Candy Dynamics”… but it also says “Made in Pakistan”.
I wouldn’t be too worried, though.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:14 pmMe and my friend Grayham can get full toxic heads with 3 in our mouths!
July 28th, 2008 at 4:56 pmi put a hole barel in my mouth at a time and got full toxic head
