we watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when we were young and hoped something similar would
happen in real life too? But did you know some of the candies which used to be our favorite,

our video "10 Banned Candies that Can Kill", today we bring you part 2 of it for you!
So if you haven't watched that already, make sure you do that because even if the ban
on these candies is lifted someday, you would really want to avoid them. Do you know why?
Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Stay Wise. In today's video, we're going to
take a look at 10 Banned Candies that Can Kill Part 2. Don't forget to smash the like button
and subscribe to our channel if you haven't yet! All right then, let's dive in...
Number One: Fun Dip In the movie "Willy Wonka," the candy maker
delights children with his everlasting gobstoppers and 'scrumdiddlyumptious' chocolate bars. This is
what Fun Dip does, in an evil way. Would you want a high blood sugar imbalance? Would you like a fun
trip to the dentist now and then? Okay! Here you go, grab a Fun Dip. You can't technically grab it.
It is banned, and even if you get a chance to, please don't eat it. Fun Dip candy is basically
a sweet stick that can be dipped into the powder-like substance in the packet. The primary
constituent of this candy is sugar, amounting to 90% of the content. And the rest of the candy is
made up of artificial flavors and colors. One snack-size pouch supplies 13 grams of sugar.
You might as well dip your tongue directly into a bowl of the white powdery thing!
Number Two: Chinese medicine candy These candy makers offer you sweets that
can function as medicine. Feeling full of down, depression, anger, or frustration? Well, China's
candy makers have the 'right' cure for you, as they claim. On the popular e-commerce site known
as Taobao, numerous vendors have popped up selling "medicine" that claims to cure many such ailments.
These candies don't just cure a garden-variety of unhappiness related issues. Still, some of
them actually promise to give you a long life without aging and better luck with the ladies!!
If that is not crazy enough for you, this candy medicine costs just 7 yuan,
which is only over $1 per bottle!! And as you might have predicted, these candies are hazardous
for our mental and physical health. China's Food and Drug Administration issued a notice
telling consumers to steer clear of such items, often packaged in white bottles that wouldn't look
out of place in a pharmacy. These candies were packaged in bottles to make them look like they
were taken off the shelf from a local pharmacy. This candy is not sweet. It is not edible
and should no way be consumed by a child. Then why would they name it candy?
Anyway, moving on. Number three: Nestle Magic Ball
These candies were quite famous throughout the 1990s. If you are a Gen Z, your parents might
remember this. And to the Boomers and Millennials in the audience, hello there! Do you guys miss
this chocolate? So, the Nestle Magic Ball was basically a chocolate ball with a plastic toy
embedded in the middle. Toys are generally of the Pokemon or Disney variety, typical kids stuff,
like the ones we get with Kinder Joy now. However, these sweet treats are illegal. The sale of a
candy that has a trinket or toy embedded in it, which is a non-nutritive, non-edible object, is
banned in the United States of America, according to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The major issue concerned with Nestle Magic Ball was that children might not understand the
difference between the chocolate and toy, leading to a choking hazard. Without parent's supervision,
consuming this can be highly dangerous. For example, there have been several instances
worldwide where injuries have happened because of swallowing the plastic figurines.
Number four: So Much Sugar or Candy Corn Now, this is another sticky, sugary,
full-of-fake-ingredients treat. Please do not get us wrong. We are all for the good candies,
we are not Willy Vonka's dentist father, but this sugar treat is quite dangerous. For many people,
Halloween isn't right without candy corn. However, from an honest dietary standpoint, these candies
are more likely a trick than a treat. Most of the 'natural' ingredients the candies claim to
have are actually replaced by artificial and chemical versions of it due to cost-cutting in
production and the need for more profit. Even brands that list 'real honey' as an ingredient
contain 28 grams of sugar and several artificial colors in just one serving of 19 pieces.
This leads to blood level imbalance, Type A Diabetes and causes similar health issues.
These candies are chewy, and candy corn may also stick to your teeth, raising the risk for cavities
and creating long-term dental problems. Number Five: Valentine's Day Candy Hearts
All of us have waited impatiently for the 14th of February, wanting to gift candies,
teddy bears, and cars to our crushes. No matter how old school and cringe-worthy that sounds now,
it has a special place in our hearts. Now you ask, what harm could come from small
candy hearts with such romantic sayings as 'Be Mine' and 'Love You'? Well, it turns out these
candies are not that innocent because they are reported to cause hyperactivity. Many elementary
schools have banned children from handing out these candies in classrooms on Valentine's Day,
thinking all of that sugar in the candy could make the kids harder to control. However,
studies that address long-term health issues these candies potentially have is still going on.
Number Six: Three Musketeers In today's episode of a clever
marketing ploy for dangerous candies, we have 3 Musketeers. The 3 Musketeers were marketed as a
"lighter" way to enjoy chocolate. Lighter than what, you ask? We are not quite sure, but one
thing is quite sure, these candies are '"heavier" in terms of causing health issues. A single candy
bar has five grams of saturated fat and more sugar than three Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Hydrogenated
palm kernel oil or palm oil was also listed as an ingredient. Did you know more than 80 percent
of the fat in palm kernel oil is saturated? Saturated fat and Trans fat are to be avoided
at all costs if you did not know already. Number Seven: Smarties, also known as Rockets
This ban is based on what school in the USA you go to. For example, if you go to Scarborough
Middle School in Maine, USA, you obviously will not see them. Apart from that location,
other schools over the years, students have been caught snorting crushed Smarties. Yes,
you heard that right the first time. Snorting. Kids actually go to the back of their classrooms,
crush up a couple of Smarties, and sniff them up. Is that not scary? Imagine kids trying to
do everything like adults, though a different substance. This must be worrying. The candy
and the act of snorting are pretty ridiculous, but it has health risks like any other powder
going up your nose in all seriousness. This includes Asthma attacks, long-term
breathing problems, and nasal maggots, which is rare, but no one denies the possibility.
Number Eight: One of Milky Way's variety The amount of sugar in this candy bar must be out
of this world. These candy bars come in "fun size" packets, containing smaller bites, which should
help with portion control. However, a serving of these smaller bars still contains almost around 21
grams of sugar. They also have hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is extremely bad for our hearts,
the climate, and orangutan survival. Plus, the caramel and nougat are prime candidates for
sticking to your teeth and causing cavities. Number Nine: Sour Patch Kids
Naturally colorful foods are highly nutritious, be it fruits for vegetables, but Sour Patch Kids,
which claims to be colorful and healthy, definitely don't grow on trees. The fruity flavors
and colors are not actually derived from actual fruits. The Sugar Patch Kids' major constituents
are sugar, corn syrup, and these sweet and tart candies also contain artificial flavors and
colors. Even though the United States Food and Drug Administration maintains that artificial
additives like Yellow 5 are safe, as the study on the candies is progressing and science is mixed,
some food companies respond to consumer concerns by removing these food dyes
and turning to natural alternatives. Number Ten: Hershey's Take 5
If you haven't had enough artery-damaging trans fats by the end of Halloween night,
look no further than Hershey's Take 5. Did you know partially hydrogenated vegetable oil
is a major trans-fat source and falls in the top half of Hershey's Take 5's lengthy ingredient
list? Made mostly of sugar and refined flour, which is in the pretzels, one bar pack of this
candy gives you 18 grams of sugar and a quarter of the Daily Value for inflammatory saturated fat.
However, because of severe backlash and against such dangerous products, like Nestle, the company
is working towards using non-GMO products in their Kisses and chocolate milk products. They
will also be removing artificial flavors, colors, and high fructose corn syrup in the future.
