Sour candies are bad for your teeth

Sour Skittles

Who doesn’t like a little sour candy once in a while?

We know one person who absolutely hates and loves all types of sour candies:  your local dentist.  They love the candy because candy of all sorts eventually leads to cavities and more patients.  They hate the sour candies because of what they do to tooth enamel, simply as a matter of the high levels of acidity required to give you that mouth-puckering sour taste.

Web Watch has a friend who regularly jokes that he has a lack of adequate tooth enamel because of something his mother did (or didn’t do) while he was growing in the womb.  While there might be some truth to that, he should also take into account the types of candy that he chooses to eat.

You know all those stories about college girls gaining weight in their first year of school?  The dreaded “Freshman 15”?

Yeah, it’s a total lie.

That’s right — freshmen do NOT gain 15 extra pounds when they’re away at college due to the awesomeness of the college cafeteria meal plan.

Web Watch has talked about insane bets in the past.

You’re already aware about the “you can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour” bet, which is just old-school tired by now.

We’ve told you not to try the “you can’t take a tablespoon of cinnamon” bet, that could cause someone to choke and need an emergency room visit.  Seriously, don’t do it.

We’ve even told you about the WENDY’S VALUE MEAL CHALLENGE, which is near impossible to comlete by the average fast-food lover.
