Why does my tongue bleed when I eat sour candy?

Question

Hello. I lovvveeee sour candy, like warheads, shocktarts, sour grapes and such. And I love to suck on them in my mouth and for some reason they cut my tongue and make it bleed a tiny bit. Why does this happen? It happens to all my friends too.

Answer 1

well first of all by eating sour candy the taste buds on your tongue are being burned off, so it makes your tongue bleed as well as your friends tongues...
