I'm more partial to a hard boiled sweet now days but can't resist crunching the sods early doors, surely nobody sucks one of these things til it's literally disolved?? I'm talking pear drops, rhubarb and custartd, cough candy type confectionary..I still have no fillings and I am 47!

I used to love boiled sweets and roasted nuts but my teeth just say no now
 |
|
By:
even as a child when i saw my mum smash up bags of nut brittle with a hammer i was thinking this stuff can't be good for you . chocolate limes were the worst , crunch them and a pale green needle popped up from the shell and stuck into the roof of your mouth . happy days !

What about that stuff that crackled on the tongue? We used to shovel that in by the packetful... until the reports arrived it was carcinogenic.
