I feel like I ate a bag of razor blades. My tongue is sore and sensitive. It feels like I’ve been licking 40-grit sandpaper for an hour. My inner cheeks feel kind of torn up, as well. Now when I try to eat a dill pickle, or a sandwich with mustard, or drink some orange juice, my mouth is a flaming pit of pain!
But they were ever so tasty, and even when I felt my cheeks eroding away, I still wanted more, more, more!
Yes, I’m supposed to be on a diet. And I am. That little bag was my treat for the week. Next time I’m going with swedish fish.
Hey, they do that to me too. I wonder what it is, the abrasiveness of the sugar grains or the citric acid (hell, could be nitric acid for all we know) in the candy? Anyone know the answer to this?
Cripes, that’s right. I forgot all about the time, as a teenager, I got a great big jar of Sour Apple, Black Cherry, and Watermelon Mega Warheads. They are smooth, hard candies. I ate those constantly, and my mouth was all messed up then, too.
Strong is good, I like strong. The stronger the better. I love sour candy. It’s after eating too many of them and the effect it seems to have on my apparently tender mouth that I don’t I don’t I don’t like much.
Amen to that. I craved those, as well as SweeTarts, when I was pregnant, and ate four or five rolls a day. Ooooh, my mouth hurt, and I think they killed my taste buds. I felt like my tongue had been shredded. Owie.
It’s not the sourness that bothers me. It’s my tongue that feels like razor blades after eating too many that does. However, I keep eating them, though my tongue feels like it’s covered in millions of paper cuts.
I drink lemon juice and eat lemons daily (without blinking, I think they are delicious), and my mouth has never been all torn up like this.
Go get some of that ‘old lady candy’ and put it in a crystal candy dish and offer some to children but they can’t take any because all of them are stuck together.
You know how it says “Mouthwatering candy” on the front of a box of SPKs? I swear to Og, if you see it out of the corner of your eye, it looks like “motherfucking candy”.
And yes they are ever so tasty… which leads me to a confession.
You know how I said it was one of those little packages? Because I was on a diet and all?
I lied.
It was one of those big, bulk packages. And I ate them all.
It was my first real diet screw up since my gallbladder attack. It didn’t give me any gut wrenching, agonising pain. But it did tear my mouth up pretty badly.
Go ahead. Tell me I deserved it. I did. I did.
…
And I’d do it again! clutches big bag of SPKs to chest
Aaaaargh! There’s already a product called “Crybabies”? What are they? I just Googled and couldn’t find anything.
My sister and a friend just started selling an absolutely delicious jalapeno product they call “Crybabies”. I thought they had trademarked it but mebbe not.
