The explosive part of a missile or bomb, or a sour candy shaped like a rocket.
Compound word from 'war' and 'head.' The military term refers to the front section of a weapon where the explosive charge sits, and a candy brand borrowed the name for sour candies with a sharp, tangy 'punch.'
The candy company named their sour candies 'Warheads' because they wanted to capture the idea of a quick, intense attack—just like a real warhead's explosive force. Your tongue gets 'hit' by the sour before the sweet!
