<p>People are eating WAX on TikTok?! Kind of, but not really.</p>
<p>Wax candy has rapidly gained popularity on TikTok. It is the current fixation of various food vloggers and ASMR-centric personalities.</p>
<p>These tiny treats, originally called "Nickel Nips" or simply wax bottles, are initially small, bottle-shaped candies filled with sugary syrup. The wax coating is meant to be chewed on and discarded after the candy has been sucked on. However, the wax layer is food-safe and non-toxic.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These candies first gained popularity in the mid-20th century, originally sold as an affordable treat for kids. They were produced by confectionery companies like Nik-L-Nip, which started making them in the 1950s. The quirky design and interactive way of eating made them a hit back then, and TikTok has rediscovered the fun candy!</p>
<p>Creators on TikTok have been sharing videos of themselves trying the candies for the first time, often reacting to their unique texture and taste. These newer wax candies come in various shapes now, such as castles and different characters.</p>
