Epic Win: Warheads


Once Upon A Win

Submitted by E Bailey

There was a guy that we heard about that knew this other guy whose cousin got suspended for betting another kid $5 that he couldn’t put 6 Warheads in his mouth at the same time and then his brain like, exploded. It was awesome. If you can still find them at the store, we bet you couldn’t even do like, four. If you do, you should totally make a video of it and post it a link in the forums too.

» 150 Blasts From The Past

  1. Machelle says:

    I was in 3rd grade the first tie I had a lemon warhead. I cried.

    • willard3 says:

      6th grade for me. I was the only one in my class that hadn’t, and everyone clustered around to stare at me as I had my first. Wasn’t that bad, actually.

    • crazy freak says:

      i was in 2nd grade. In 8th grade my friend would bring in whole bags of warheads at lunch and we would all see how far we could go. Good times. Good times.

    • Toasthands says:

      Kindergarten, had a black cherry.
      I threw up all over the sandbox.

  2. t.l. says:

    My mouth instantly started watering in anticipation for the sourness

    • Ninjarina says:

      Me too. In fact, when I think of something sour, my jaw starts to tense up.

      There is a Japanese candy called “Super Lemon” which is similar to this but it is a bit sweeter and shaped like a sphere.

    • leah says:

      My mouth is watering now! Curse you, black Warheads.

    • Matt says:

      Dude, same here
      I don’t understand why there making a big deal out of four though
      I downed 6 at once in the third grade

      • eve says:

        yeah they are soo easy. and the lemons arent the sourest. i think black cherry and apple are the most sour. but still i can eat 10 with out making faces

    • Taryn Epperson says:

      AS did mine, oh the memories of the tastes of warheads and pride.

      I always had to be better than all my friends, we used to kill. Black Cherry was my favorite.

  3. Alex says:

    I must go buy them now!!!!!!!! Isn’t it so cool that now that we’re not kids in elementary school we can just run out and buy as many friggin’ Warheads as we want?! Ahhhh, ’tis a dream fulfilled.

  4. smart-ars says:

    O-M-G! His bitch face was like sooo adorable!

  5. ladykitteh says:

    Oh. My. God. He should like, totally be, like, auditioning to join the, like, Jonas Bros. Like.

    Either that, or learn to talk like a man. Oh, and please get a hair cut.

  6. Corrine says:

    Wow, that guy was absolutely ADORABLE. I want to hug him.
    Anyway, I had my first warhead when I was about six I think. I choked on it. I still have this vivid memory of it flying out of my mouth onto the kitchen floor. I believe it was blue raspberry. Gooooooood times.

  7. Pico says:

    Warheads are for pansys due to there lack of hardcore sour, EYEPOPPERS FTW!!!.

  8. foobarbaz says:

    Either my tongue burned out, or Warheads suddenly became “not all that sour” about a year after they hit the market. Did they get hit with a lawsuit or something?

    • lbcatlover says:

      I heard something about kids eating so many thier mouths would bleed…

    • Rob says:

      yeah, they did get less sour over time. Not sure why, though.

      I remember when they first came out — my nephew was about 10 — and they were _very_ sour. About a year later, though, they were much less sour.

      The sourness was in the powder on the candy balls, and the later ones had less sour powder.

      (The trick to eating the really sour ones was to get a good load of saliva up front, and then pop the warheads in. That washed them off. Swallow the sour powder quickly, and look cool with a mouthful of warheads. )

  9. Mitsuki says:

    My brother tricked my Grandma into eating one of these.

  10. Wulf says:

    I was thrilled when I found some of these in my Halloween loot last year. It’d been like four years since I’d last had them.

    If you want real sour, however, go with the Warheads bubblegum. That stuff can kill.

  11. J says:

    Does it really count if he chewed them?

  12. myghostflorence says:

    Haha I am the best at that. Sour things just aren’t sour to me so I can pop them in my mouth and the most that will happen is my eyes water a bit. :P

  13. Beth says:

    That little guy was so gay.

  14. Lara says:

    I used to love the hot ones. The sours were horrible!
    They’re still available here in Sydney.

  15. NaughtyCat says:

    He should do a challenge where he tries to be one week without getting dick in his ass.

  16. Jan says:

    I haven’t had those in a while, but I think they are still around. I like them.

  17. noanalplease says:

    that kid is gayer than 8 guys baning 9 guys.

  18. johhnysgirl says:

    I’ve never had a warhead in my life, but I love sour things so I’d probably love these too.

    The kid in the video was indeed pretty annoying…but I am really really jealous of his teefs.

    • LeeLee says:

      ohmigod I KNOW right?! They were so -perfect-! -hides her own DX-

      I disagree on his annoyingness though, he was adorable. XD

  19. the gameboy says:

    i remember, i could down like 6 of the things… and then collect my money…
    the key was to bite the edges, then slowly lick away the sour…

  20. RevATC says:

    Man I hate upward inflection when people talk!

    We don’t get those over here… Sadly…

    But I’m guessing he’s made that face for otherthings before :P

  21. Lynnie says:

    Awesome candy, terrible video. I want to smack the kid in the face. I don’t care he seems gay. That’s not it. He’s just annoying. He speaks like a Valley girl had a stroke. I feel bad for his parents, spent $4000 on orthodontia and dumbass sticks more metal in his face. Besides his face annoying me, must we listen to him smacking and chewing? A good video, that does not make.

    Right then, I blame this rant on being pregnant and such. And for the record, I have had 8 at once. Drooled, cried and nose ran, when I blew it, Warhead juice came out. Painful, yet awesome.

    • Lisbeth says:

      Wow. From another pregnant woman to you, you’re a pathetic excuse for a human being. I’ve miscarried, and it’s not something I’d wish on anyone. It was the worst physical and emotional pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Imagine a part of you LITERALLY DYING.
      .
      I wouldn’t wish your mother/father/sister/brother/girlfriend/boyfriend’s death upon you. Don’t wish a woman’s child’s death upon her. For shame.

      • Kristina says:

        Love warheads, not loving your retarded argument.. I concur with Lynnie that this video is annoying.. I wonder if that’s the way his face looks when he’s gargling another guy guy’s balls.. Not that I have anything against gay people, I have a ton of friends who are gay.. but this video could have been better if he wasn’t talking like Barbie… WARHEADS FTW!

      • Your mom says:

        WTF?
        Where in Lynnie’s comment does she say she hate gays? I’m gay myself, and it’s people like you that make us look bad.

  22. bdwilcox says:

    From the looks of things, sounds like he’s hankerin’ for another kind of “warhead” if ya’ know what I’m sayin’.

  23. a person says:

    okay im not sure this is nostalgic becuz i alwas gt about 20 of these for halloween and last year i got some for v-day but still, awsom candy

  24. MadAriad says:

    Oh I LOVED these!! I still get cravings for thing that are so sour they hurt. I was the Warhead Queen of my neighborhood – I actually burned the lining off my tongue eating these things.

    • crazy freak says:

      I have two very small holes in the roof of my mouth from sucking on nerds. I love destructive candy.

  25. Alex says:

    Yes very obvious…hence his username on both Youtube and MySpace: “GayGod”

  26. Anonymous says:

    tahts weak man iv tried 10 lemon extreme warheads and barely made my face move that guy is weak

  27. Anonymous says:

    found some during v-day and had only too. Since I’m an adult now I figured I could handle it. But it ate a hole into my cheek, peeled off my cheek lining, put a hole through my gums..and yes ate mirco holes into my tooth enough MY TOOTH BLED.

    No pics tho sorry, but it was awesome. *I’m fine now tho*

  28. Anonymous says:

    Just seeing those makes me pucker. >.<

  29. Nosferatus says:

    In Brazil these weren’t named warheads, but TNT. Once in the first grade me and 4 classmates betted who stood more time with 5 TNT in the mouth without “twisting the face”

  30. Lilly says:

    My brother and my dad would have to bring me along to Little League games, and they’d give me five bucks to get any candy I wanted, plus a bottle of Coke for Dad. I’d always get Warheads, eat all of the yellow ones first, then work my way color-by-color, and try to save the purple ones because those were the best.

  31. Roxie says:

    For real. I could do multiples of the sours, but not even a second of the hot ones. Yeowch.

  32. renaekayagen says:

    My brother and I used to unwrap and down the whole bag at once of these, and do the same thing with Crybaby Tears candy. Every Saturday after we walked down to the drugstore with our allowances, we’d spend the afternoon peeling the skin off the roofs of our mouths, and sometimes our gums too. Eventually we could do it without even wincing. Hm…I wonder if I could still do that…better head to the store and see.

  33. FC says:

    I’d enjoy the video a lot more with him.

    Why are all Vloggers such turds?

  34. TehLuke says:

    omg this guy is just ubergay…

  35. asda says:

    oh my god he sounded gay

  36. SonicGTR says:

    Fabulous Man is fabulous.

  37. Sky says:

    I had to eat 20 warheads at one time for a game of truth or dare…

  38. Anonymous says:

    I ended up doing 8 when i was little like 6th grade i think. I messed up my taste buds for life with it. So don’t it xx

  39. Sarah says:

    Matthew Lush is hot. His voice makes me want to punch babies. Anyway, Warheads are awesome. They disappeared for a while, but now they’re back in stores again. I really want to buy some now…

  40. devilwoman says:

    oh wow…i forgot these existed!!

  41. Anonymous says:

    that’s not his sour face… that’s his O face.

  42. Wasp says:

    I love Warheads.
    They suck the first piece but after the second they;re really good.
    You loose all feeling in your mouth after the 7th.
    I’ve never gotten past 12 at a time.

    Hmm. :|

  43. Banana says:

    Ugh, the warhead bubblegum was far worse then the hard candy. In elementary school we used to get fireballs and warheads from the teachers and then we’d eat them together. I think the teacher wanted us to die a little bit. Because warhead gum and a fireball? ouch, just ouch.

  44. Kat says:

    Warheads aren’t near as sour as they used to be. I loved them as a kid! I would eat them one after another after another, until my mouth blistered, and I’d still eat more. And, for the record, the Lemon ones never were the most sour, it was always the Black Cherry ones. Mmm, now I’m craving Warheads. :D

  45. timmis says:

    Oh man i loved these things back in grade 5. The black ones were the best, they were the most sour. These little guys fostered my love of sour things :P I want them now!

  46. Mega says:

    Could you guys please remove this embedded video? The kid is getting inundated with hatred from the homophobic bigots that apparently frequent OUAW, and he doesn’t really deserve it.

    • Wyde says:

      homophobic: fearing/hating homosexuals/homosexuality
      bigots: those who cling blindly/intolerantly to a particular creed/opinion
      .
      Call me a “homophobic bigot” all you want, but, while THAT has the right to express ITS opinion, we “homophobic bigots” have our right to express our opinion. And as for removing the video, by all means, I guarantee the “bigots” and I will rally around you.

      • Really says:

        He is not an ‘IT’ or a ‘THAT’, he is a living being with a heart and a mind. No matter how much you try to dehumanize gay people, you’ll never succeed. All your hatred does is dehumanize yourself. Seek help.

      • Mega says:

        I hope your mother dies of breast cancer, Wyde.

        • Anonymous says:

          You Idiot, no one is paying out on him. There jusst making light of the unique way he talks. And the Homophobic bigots explaination was a joke, how did you not get it?
          Stop trying to fine a venue to vent your own homophobic opinions.

    • Really says:

      Seconded, the hatred and vitriol pouring out of these people is vile. I just hope and pray my son grows up in a world where people have a little more compassion and love.

    • srab says:

      i agree that homophobic bigots shouldn’t be attacking him, but you are attacking them with much the same vitriol. hatred breeds hatred.

  47. nathan says:

    i had 5 once if i knew where to buy them id make a video but as fas as i know the company went out of business (but i hope not).

  48. Nostawyn says:

    Oh, Warheads. My elementary school’s little snack shop sold those and we’d see who could the most at one time. The record was 9, I think.

    Also, that guy reminds me of a friend of mine. The voice, the happy, the perfect teeth. . . If he didn’t have the piercings, it would be a scary resemblance.

  49. Frankydee says:

    It’s been like over a decade since last I’ve tried these. Used to eat these everyday particularly the black ones (they just had a better flavor to me)

    Guy in the video reminds me of some high school acquaintances… They had the hair and the gay accent, but were about as straight as a guy could get. Still irritating as hell to me, I can’t help but applaud gay dudes who talk normally.

  50. spencer king says:

    am i the only one who thinks this guy is flaming?

    • Anonymous says:

      ok..he’s not some fag douche..he’s just on aisle 10 of the fag section in the
      pharmacy with all the other douches..if you’re that butt hurt over it, pull the plug out of your ass

    • Mega says:

      He’s a Christian. Modern Christians are all about hate of homosexuals. No love anymore, no consideration on what Jesus actually taught. Just hate.

      • renaekayagen says:

        I am a Christian, and Alton makes me sick with his horrible comments. I hope he never has children, considering how he plans to treat them.
        Not all modern Christians are about hating homosexuals. I understand that you’re upset by what closed-minded bigots are saying about the boy in that video (I am too), but please stop blanket-smearing them as Christians. There are a lot of us who are nothing like Alton, and though I am ashamed of many “celebrity Christians” for doing so, just because someone makes a hateful comment about another group doesn’t make them a Christian. Plenty of nonbelievers are haters too. As you yourself pointed out, Jesus taught love. Therefore, true Christians love.
        Personally, I thought he was adorable. He made a great little video, and he actually made the exact same sour face my brother makes. Brought back good memories.

      • dubiousdisc says:

        I’m bi and my best friend is Christian, I won’t bash him for his faith and he won’t bash me for my sexual preferences. That’s what open-mindedness is about. Do you really think that you’re going to stop the hatred with other hate? This way, you’re just showing that you’re not any less prejudiced than Alton.

    • Emillie says:

      “I’d kick my grandson’s ass if he acted that way too.”
      you know Alton, there’s a lot of research on children who are raised in same-sex families and the same percentage of them turn out homosexual as the rest of the kids out there. However they do turn out WAY more open minded then you obviously did. Congratulations Alton, you give a bad name to close minded pricks.

  51. in_a_box says:

    Tehehe, my video store sells these! I <3 them!

  52. Emillie says:

    hahahahahaha I seriously, swear to god laughed out loud when the guy ate 4 and said “it’s not that bad” then a second later his face contorts. hahahahahhahahahahahaha man I miss warheads. you think they’d have been discontinued after 911, but actually, they’re just hard to find

  53. Koki Kariya says:

    If you look at his Myspace it looks like he and his boyfriend are gay prostitutes, so yes, he is.

  54. very funny the video!!!

  55. Matt S. says:

    I could so eat 4 without making a face… lol…

  56. Fish Man says:

    i remember i would just run them under the sink to get the sour off XD

  57. emokid says:

    that’s so hardcore !! totally kickin ass

  58. aeroplanezero04 says:

    i dont remember how many i put in but i ended up popping a few taste buds and bled. i didnt even know it was possible

  59. Northern Nightmare says:

    The guy in the video’s hot…..
    Concerning warheads: One of our recent happenings in my group of friends happened to be that Shane had a contest with someone to see how many warheads they could suck on longest… he won with 16 till they were gone. XD
    I happened to be working when he came by the store to get some oragel… his girlfriend couldn’t keep from facepalming.

    • Northern Nightmare says:

      The citric acid had deteriorated his gums and tongue… he couldn’t taste anything for a month and a half ^_^=

  60. me says:

    my mouth is watering just THINKING of warheads :S

  61. Katie says:

    I heard about a kid who put 11 Warheads in his mouth at once and he lost his sense of taste for two weeks.

    I didn’t believe that until I actually tried a Warhead, and now it seems completely plausible.

  62. paulWTAMU says:

    I eat food to either nourish myself, or to enjoy. Warheads don’t do either for me so I’ll pass on those. Eating food shouldn’t be painful :p And if it is painful it should damn well at least be good for you!

    oh, kid needs a haircut and voice lessons. Eeesh. How is it gay guys get a stereotypical accent but no one associates any such trait with lesbianism? That is my random thought for the day.

  63. ProudNerd says:

    Ah, I remember these. I also remember that for some reason watermelon was more sour than lemon.

  64. mike says:

    Warheads were sold in a candy fundraiser when I was in middle school. I love sour candy so I bought 4 or 5 packs and ate all of them. Big mistake! The next day all the skin on my tongue started to peel off. It was a very strange and painful experience which I won’t ever repeat

  65. Reese says:

    I put as much of a package as I could in my mouth once. My tongue bled.

  66. Niek says:

    Dude! I can put six in, no problem.

    pussy.

  67. TheMeister says:

    You know, I used to wonder what it would look like if Pete Wentz and Adam Lambert had a kid together and that kid made a video about eating warheads. Well, I guess can finally sleep tonight. Oh yeah and I’m sure there’s some type of summer camp that kid could go to so he doesn’t talk like a 14 year old girl and doesn’t have that stupid haircut or drillbits in his lip. Even if he doesn’t go to the camp, the “fellas” don’t like drillbits all over their thighs…

    Nice Post about the warheads…

  68. rue says:

    this was the only candy that my Spawn did not steal from my purse…i had them convinced it was poisonous to children.

  69. Lindsey says:

    I could put 8 in my mouth and not cry…I ate too many Warheads as a kid. I used to scrounge ten cents from the couch cushions to buy one from the icecream man. I think I want Warheads now.

  70. eve says:

    please i had 15! i was tearing up from laughter though… it was funny

  71. craig bryon says:

    we had a competition to see who could have the most warheads and i got up to 30 warheads and my tongue started to peel they where so, so sour.

  72. teehe (= says:

    my mouth is watering just thinking about warheads ah.

  73. JESUS says:

    I am ashamed that you used my name. Period. Jesus hates you, sas.

  74. Squarehead says:

    A few days ago, my buddy ate 16 warheads. His tongue looked like a bruise and it actually started bleeding.

  75. Des says:

    I found one of those plastic containers of mini-Warheads at the store a few weeks ago. “Yaaaay, burning holes in my tongue!” I thought.

    Psh. These Warheads couldn’t burn a hole in your tongue even if you dumped the whole pack in your mouth. Pansy-ass kids today. Honestly. I was highly disappointed.

  76. Ev says:

    Yea i remember back in the day…i ate a whole pack of warheads at once…and it essentially melted off the taste buds on my tongue :D

  77. Kern says:

    I love warheads! But haven’t seen them in a long time… Btw I’m a Christian and I don’t agree with homosexuality but it’s no worse than hatin on him and callin him names. We still need to love him!

  78. nick says:

    i almost chocked to death on one, and when my mom did the hemlock and i spit it on the floor i was mad i lost it

  79. Megan says:

    A friend from 7th grade had a split down his tongue forever after he ate these continuously for a whole school day.

    Am I insane or did they make fizzy Warheads? They were called Mega Fizz I think? I can’t find anything on them. I swear I’d get them at Hollywood Video when we’d rent movies.

  80. Beth says:

    My friend just had 3 warheads! SO FUNNY! Black cherry, Apple, Blue rasberry. We can only imagine the pain of eating 3 lemons! Good job dude.

  81. judayy says:

    my friend can eat 7 without a face but if you eat that much your mouth starts bleeding because of the acid the citurs acid so the skin in you mouth peels of you you start bleeding but i loveee em

  82. a person says:

    my friend and i ate 16 at one time with no problem its not that hard they arent even sour

  83. John says:

    The trick is to keep them under your tongue because there are no taste buds under the tongue. just hope you dont have canker sores…

  84. Anonymous says:

    I love war heads and always have and any other sour candy. I just bought a huge 175 bag of mega war heads 2 days a go and have already eaten like a 100 of them but my tongue hurts and is peeling but i think im fine i hope i dont get an infection.

  85. Someone says:

    So yeah… I love warheads but right now after eating like 10 yesturday and 5 today- my toungue is sore and peeling. Its kinda gross. Ugh. And I LOVE warheads! Why must this happen???
