Brain Licker is a type of confectionary.

It is about as acidic as lemon juice[1] and excessive consumption can lead to burns, blisters or small 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.
