Why do i sweat when i'm eating a jolly rancher?

i sweat just before putting it into my mouth and it continues. its a cold sweat. i don%26#039;t get pit-y, just my head. its curious. it doesn%26#039;t happen with other foods or candies.

The answer lies with the malic acid contained in the Jolly Rancher. A small percentage of people%26#039;s taste buds are sensitive to this chemical, and it triggers a reaction in the sympathetic nervous system. Sweat glands in the vicinity, mainly the forehead, are %26quot;tricked%26quot; into producing sweat.

Reply:Sometimes before I drink a coke, that i have been wanting all day, i get that same feeling. It can be due to your body excited to indulge in this treat. sounds strange but true!
Reply:that is so weird i%26#039;m sweating right now eating starburst fruit chews on my lunch break and i thought it was odd....the tanginess maybe?
Reply:If it%26#039;s BEFORE you put it into your mouth, then it is nothing caused by the candy in and of itself. You probably just have this expectation that you will start sweating, so you sweat. I don%26#039;t know what would have caused that, but the candy won%26#039;t hurt you.





Is Jolly Rancher your favorite candy? If it is, you might be experiencing an adrenaline/endorphin rush when you think about eating it. :P
Reply:coz ranchers usually like the hot sun.
Reply:Jolly rancher%26#039;s have a hardening agent called aestoplastopscia. It%26#039;s a really obscure chemical that sometimes causes a cold sweat. The hardening agent is in the sour apple, and cherry jolly ranchers. Hope this helps.
Reply:It may be some sort of classical conditioning. Read about it here:

This means that maybe jolly rancher unconsciously remind you of something else. Think about the first time or a memorable time you had jolly ranchers. Did you ever take drugs like Ecstasy and eat jolly rancher? You body is classically conditioned to make you sweat because it is remembering something that it is correlating with jolly ranchers.
