They are nothing like they used to be. The old ones could physically damage your mouth, a layer of skin would peel off from acid burns if you went at them for a while. Probably inappropriately acidic. In the intervening years, litigation has become more routine, I don’t think they want to get sued for Little Jimmy’s pain and suffering - let alone a choking case.
I got a few of these that were actually sweet through and through, no sour at all, was so disappointed. Anything with the Warheads brand is like this now.
Could be that or could be your tastebuds as a kid couldn’t handle strong flavors as well. I remember those fireball things being pretty hot but as an adult they weren’t spicy at all
I have thought about this, but I also recall the white sour coating just falling off the ones ones and also a small pile being left behind in the packet.
It’s it just me, or, are the current day versions of these way way way toned down compared to the 90s versions?

I still get infections in my mouth if I have more than, like, two in a sitting. And then my mouth hurts for a week.
