Toxic waste is a realy sour sweet


I Know, I once took a packet to a football match, and me and my cousins were daring each othewr to eat as many as we dared in on go.
I got to about five in my mouth at one time, and my eyes nearly popped backwards into my head with the force I was scrunching my eyes up. It was a bad idea though, as the next day, the sweets seemed to had worn down the cavity on m fangs and I got a shivering through my body every time the tip of my fangs touched something, thankfully it healed over once I started to spend longer brushing my teeth. smile.gif

Heh. I've seen many people be put off sour sweets by toxic waste.

Seriously, even eating one can really make your teeth feel sort of soft, and I really do find it difficult to finish one.

I never saw the point of really sour sweets, they don't generally taste nice and are expensive as well as doing various nasty things to you. When I first ate a toxic waste, I discovered that I had the ability to eat something without tasting it though which is quite cool really

A food safety review has found them to contain dangerous levels of citric acid, leading to permanent damage of tooth enamel.

Those toxic things sound really foul! Does anyone remember the white chocolate skulls that used to made? They were in boxes in the penny mix range and were filled with red jelly so that when you bit into them they bled! My favourites are jelly beans and white choc of any sort except for bleeding skulls. I used to know an artist who ate aniseed balls all day and her teeth were worn and brownish. Yuk! sad.gif

They are nice! A girl in my class brought some back from China when she went to visit family - though I have to admit I didn't trust her at first when she told me to eat the papery stuff with it! She laughed when I started to peel it off!
