Acid Pops

"Fred gave me one when I was seven, it burnt a hole right through my tongue. I can remember Mum walloping him with her broomstick."

- Ron Weasley

Acid Pops are one of the sweets sold by Honeydukes Sweetshop in Hogsmeade. They may be similar to the Muggle lollipops, but like most Honeydukes' fare, they have an unconventional, practical joke-like twist with wizarding magic wherein they are able to burn your tongue. They are therefore extremely dangerous and extremely painful to eat - why it is sold despite such a high risk of injury remains a mystery.

"Acid Pops" was also a password used to gain entrance to Albus Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry while Harry was at school.

Ron once mentioned that when he was a little boy, his brother Fred gave him one and it burned a hole straight through his tongue.
