Brain Licker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brain Licker is a type of confectionary produced by Spanish company King Regal. Brain Licker is sold in small, green "deoderant style" bottles, having a ball which revolves when licked to deliver its sour liquid content. Although the acid content is about the same as lemon juice[1], excessive consumption can lead to burns, blisters or cuts in children's mouths.[2] In 2003 the British Food Standards agency issued warnings to parents regarding this as well as possible choking hazards.[3] There are several different flavours of Brain Licker, the most popular of which being strawberry, peach, apple, blue raspberry, grape, blackberry, lemon and watermelon.
