The topic of this week is: What makes candy sour?..

Well many candies have natural acids in them that give them a sour or bitter taste.. Commonly you will see Malic Acid, Citric Acid, and Ascorbic Acid if you look at the back of a candy package.. They are very low amounts so you won't deal any physical damage... Its not recommended you eat a large amount of them at the time since they are a form of acid and will start breaking down tissue in your mouth.. Example of what NOT to do with candies..

You may now be asking where does these acids come from and why are they put in candies if they can hurt you..
Well Citric acid is found in lemons and limes,Malic Acid is found in apples, Ascorbic Acid is found in cranberries/Oranges/Spinach..
Now part two of the question, they won't hurt you if you follow severing sizes on the packages many say (1 candy) and tell you how many you can eat and that they recommend to avoid heath risks and damage to your body..

Well this has been this weeks science funfacts ^_^ Ask questions below..

 

Bump in the name of science..

 

Seen it before

 

I damage my body anyways by existing!

 

about 3 years ago I stuffed 7 warheads in my mouth at a time and had over 30 in an hour and I managed to somehow get out of it all with only temporary damage to my mouth

 

I hate war heads from this experience ;-;
I was bleeding for days ew

 

I'm guessing that eating 100 warheads in one day is bad for you...Gotta stop doing that...
