Wagon Wheels
Name:
Wagon Wheels
Cookies & Cakes
Description:
AustraliaCanadaIrelandNew ZealandUnited KingdomUnited States of America

Wagon Wheels are a popular biscuit in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom which have a marshmallow centre and are covered in a chocolate flavoured coating. They are produced and distributed by Burtons Foods Ltd. The biscuit itself is round to represent the wheel of a wagon (hence the name).

Wagon Wheels were invented by Garry Weston (1927-2002) (son of W. Garfield Weston). Garry Weston worked for his father's business in Australia before taking over his UK family business. The biscuits were first launched during the 1940s at the time of the 1948 Olympia Food Fair. The name was derived from the fact that the Wild West was very popular at time, and in particular the film Wagon Train. They were originally marketed as Weston Wagon Wheels

Interest in Wagon Wheels was at an all time peak when the female UK comedians French and Saunders made a sketch with Dawn French dressed as a schoolgirl delicately placing a Wagon Wheel into her mouth. Wagon Wheels were "re-launched" in 2002.

There have been many debates amongst fans of the biscuit about the size. Wagon Wheels have supposedly shrunk in size as time has progressed, Burtons Foods LTD have denied this. It has been suggested that the supposed shrinkage is due to an adult's fond childhood memory of eating a Wagon Wheel held in a much smaller hand.

The original factory which produced the biscuit in Slough during the early 1980s were transferred to an updated and modern factory in Llantarnam in South Wales. The original factory in Slough produced the biscuit with crinkled edges rather than the updated smoother edges. This caused the overall diameter of the biscuit to shrink slighty, but not as much as fans of the biscuit believe.

Also, although the UK Wagon Wheel has barely shrunk, it is still noticeably smaller than the Australian equivalent. The diameter of the Australian version is measured at 88 mm which is 14 mm larger than the UK version. Even though the Australian version is wider in diameter, the UK Wagon Wheel is notably thicker by 4 mm.

As of October 2006, the Canadian Wagon Wheel measured 70mm x 17mm.

Confusingly, the flavour of Wagon Wheels currently marketed as "Original" actually features a chocolate flavour biscuit - whereas the biscuits used in the recipe most beloved of UK fans (circa the mid-1970s) was in fact plain.

In Australia Wagon Wheels still feature a plain biscuit.

Warheads
Name:
Warheads
Chewy Candy
Description:
AustraliaCanadaNew ZealandSaudi ArabiaUnited States of America

Warheads, also known as Mega Warheads, are a brand of sour candy manufactured by Impact Confections.

The candy was invented in Taiwan in 1975 and was first imported to the United States by The Foreign Candy Company in 1993.

They are currently distributed in the United States by Impact Confections and in Australia by Funtastic Limited.

They proved to be very popular, especially with youths; in 1999, Warheads were referred to as a "$40 million brand." Impact Confections acquired the brand in 2004.

Warheads derive their strong sour flavor from a combination of malic acid, ascorbic acid, and citric acid. These are applied as a coating to the outside of the small, hard candies. The intense sour flavor fades after about 20 to 50 seconds.

Warheads are marketed to children as an "extreme" candy. The name "Warhead" comes from the notion that the sour taste of the candies is akin to a real warhead going off in one's mouth, and the brand's mascot, Wally Warhead, is depicted as a boy with puckered lips and a small mushroom cloud eminating from the top of his head.

A driving force behind the candy's popularity were informal competitions among schoolchildren to determine who could withstand eating the largest number of Warheads at once.

A warning is now included on Warheads packaging, as follows:
“ WARNING: Eating multiple pieces within a short time period may cause a temporary irritation to sensitive tongues and mouths."

Warheads are currently available in the following varieties:

Extreme Sour
Extreme Sour Juniors
Double Drops
Sour Gummy Grubs
Super Sour Drops
Super Sour Spray Candy
Super Fizz

Warheads are only available in sour flavors.
Sour flavors, which are still manufactured and sold, include:

Sour Apple
Sour Black Cherry
Sour Blue Raspberry
Sour Lemon
Sour Watermelon
Super Sour Strips
