-- Posted by snowcone200 at 7:33 am on Jan. 11, 2009 I don't really eat candy with a lot of sugar. But sometimes when I do my tongue gets a sore on it within minutes of starting on the candy. You think it prolly just irriatation or small allergic thing. -- Posted by The Prodigy at 7:35 am on Jan. 11, 2009 Lick it again and see if you have the same reaction. -- Posted by strandedgirli at 7:35 am on Jan. 11, 2009 Too much sugar burns the tongue.
