Extreme Candy -- Toxic Waste Candy

What Is In Toxic Waste Candy?

You are looking at a leaky drum of the nastiest, sourest, most-face-shrinking candy in the entire world. It's Toxic Waste, aka "Hazardously Sour Candy," and it's on our list of the most extreme candy in the world.

Toxic Waste, and other sour candies, get their sourness from a high dose of acid (no, not that kind of acid!). The candy is full of citric acid and related substances that make Toxic Waste so overpowering.

According to the good folks at Livestrong.com, sour candy gets its punch from an assortment of acidic food additives. They are:

• Citric Acid -- First isolated from lemon juice by a Swedish chemist in 1784, citric acid can be found in a wide variety of foods, including ice cream and soda.

• Malic Acid -- This stuff is extremely tart, and comes from unripe fruit. If you've ever bitten into an unripe apple, you've felt the sting of malice acid. As a food additive, it's used in vinegar-flavored chips, among other things.

• Tartaric Acid -- Tartaric Acid is found naturally in tangerines, grapes and coffee beans. I remember tasting a little of the "cream of tartar" from my mom's spice rack when I was a kid. Sounded tasty -- wasn't! One of the sourest substances out there.

• Lactic Acid -- This is an acidic substance found in milk. Are you a fan of sour milk? Then you love lactic acid.

• Fumeric Acid -- Fumeric acid "provides more sourness per unit weight than" any other acidic food additive, according to the Bartek Ingredients food company. Careful with this stuff! You can be pretty sure that extreme sour candy like Toxic Waste is loaded with it.
