9-year-old Caidan Blackstone from Pennsylvania suffered severe burns after attempting a viral TikTok recipe for "candy grapes" involving Jolly Rancher-coated grapes. His mother, Christina Blackstone, initially believed the activity to be harmless after seeing a trendy video on TikTok; however, the molten Jolly Rancher candy spilled onto Caidan's hand, requiring skin grafting and causing nerve damage. Dr. Ariel Aballay, director of West Penn Hospital's burn unit, warns against the trend and advises that if a burn occurs, it should be cooled in lukewarm water, not ice.
