[continued from above]
Warheads are marketed as an "extreme" candy and the name comes from the idea that the sour taste is like a real "warhead" exploding in one's mouth. The brand's mascot, Wally Warheads, is depicted as a boy with puckered lips and a small mushroom cloud coming out of the top of his head.

Warheads memories

When I was in kindergarten in the mid-nineties, there was a book reading program where we'd be rewarded with a small treat for every book we finished. Being a prolific reader even at that age, I immediately gamed the system by reading a bunch of thin picture books.

One of the parents or something was watching the table that day, it was one of my classmate's dads. I doubt it was because of me specifically, but he'd brought in a huge bag of warheads! He told me they were fantastic. Imagine a little kindergartener's squidge face with one or two of those warheads! If I remember correctly, I got enough to bring home to my brother as well. ~ Nick from Illinois
