Making the world's most extreme candy

This video has been sponsored by Brilliant. Over the years, I've eaten a lot of candy, and I mean a lot of candy. I've also experimented with many extreme candies, like this one that's supposed to be super hot, and Warheads that are supposed to be really sour. But honestly, none of them have impressed

And I think this is mostly because they're all trying to only assault one thing at a time, which personally I think is a mistake because it leaves so many completely available taste buds completely unaffected. And what I really want is a candy that targets everything. And by that I mean that I want it to be

the most sour, sweet, spicy, icy, bitter, salty, and umami thing that I've ever tasted all at the same time. In my opinion, this would be the true extreme candy that I've always been looking for. And I've been really curious to know what it would taste like. Will it be the craziest thing that I've ever tasted?

Could it be so overwhelming that it actually overloads my taste buds and shortcircuits my brain? Or will it be the most absolutely disgusting and unpleasant experience that I've had in a very long time? Well, I'm very happy to say that today we are finally going to try and answer these very important questions and we are going to make some

candies that I'm hoping will blow my mind. >> I'm ready. >> Are you? >> No. >> Me neither. But yeah, I mean, let's just get started. And pretty much everything that we'll need is in this box right here. We have granulated sugar. Then along with that, we have just some corn syrup. These together are pretty

much the base of the candy. And they'll of course be giving the sweetness, but we're supposed to be pushing this to the extreme. So, I've decided to include some of this. >> Ah, yes. nitrogen containing nutrient >> which is just this white powder called advantame and it's an artificial sweetener that's supposed to be 20,000
