Brain Licker

Brain Licker is a type of confectionery manufactured by Key Enterprises.[1] It is typically sold in small bottles plugged with a ball which revolves when licked, delivering its sour liquid content. It is about as acidic as lemon juice[2] and excessive consumption can lead to burns, blisters or small cuts in children's mouths.[3] In 2003 the British Food Standards Agency issued warnings to parents regarding this as well as possible choking hazards.[4] There are several different flavours of Brain Licker, the most popular of which are strawberry, peach, apple, blue raspberry, grape, blackberry, lemon, watermelon and cola.
