Acids Pops in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
- "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[src]
Acid Pops are one of the sweets sold by Honeydukes Sweetshop in Hogsmeade[1]. 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.
An Acid Pop.
"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.
