It has been reported that a 4 year old girl, Willow Wright, has burnt her tongue after eating Warheads sour lollies.
The young girl was left unattended by her mother, Kirsty Wright. Willow reached into their pantry and started eating her older brother’s sour candies. Which eventually turned out to be a very bad idea. It was reported that she ate about 10 sour candies. The strong amount of acid level in the candies ended up burning some parts of her tongue.

“Mommy, my tongue is really sore...” As they were being interviewed, the mother quoted what her daughter said to her that time. “It felt like skin was coming off.” Willow said.
They consulted a doctor, however, he was honest to say that there’s nothing much he could do. And that they should just give it a couple of days for the tongue to heal. But luckily, the doctor said that the tongue is the fastest healing organ in the body.

According to the news report, the sour Warheads lollies have a similar PH level as hydrochloric acid, therefore, it has a much higher acidity level compared to a lemon juice or a Coca Cola.
When asked if she was still going to eat the sour lollies and chocolate, she said no to both. But when asked if she will still eat Mcdonalds, she undoubtedly said yes.
