This was last night. I was doing some shopping and I notice this older gentleman, probably about 70, handing out cinnamon jolly ranchers. He looks at me and says, “you look like you need a jolly rancher,” and hands me one. I accept it and say thank you. He says he thinks he’s seen me around before and I tell him it’s entirely possible, I come to this Walmart a lot. He tells me he comes once a month to do his shopping and everytime he hands out cinnamon jolly ranchers, and this is his ninth year doing it. I say that’s an awesome hobby, and I hope he has a great night. He says he always does!
The whole interaction just made me happy
TIFU by biting into a jolly rancher after years of neglecting my teeth.
A bit of back story, I'm disgusting and failed to brush my teeth growing up, 20 now and still only brush my teeth maybe once every other week or on special occasions.
Being the degenerate that I am, I decided it'd be a good idea this morning to eat some extra Halloween candy that had been lying around for awhile now. After a few Kit Kats I grabbed a jolly rancher and bit into it. After finishing the jolly rancher, I noticed it felt like it was stuck to my tooth still.
1 Hour later I'm going out to eat breakfast with my girlfriend and it still feels weird on my tooth, hard and raw like a jolly rancher.
2 Hours later I'm sitting in my chair playing games and wondering why it still feels like the jolly rancher is stuck to my tooth, and that's when it hit me, I got up, ran to the bathroom, checked in the mirror and surprise surprise, the back part of my molar is missing. The jolly rancher that had been stuck to my tooth happened to just be me feeling only the front part of my molar from the back and my filling that still covers the top of my tooth.
My tooth doesn't hurt (yet? this happened yesterday) but the sharpness of the filling that still remains is scraping against my tongue every time I try to talk now or even just rest my tongue in my mouth. I'm far to broke to go to the dentist for any sort of fix so I managed to find some temporary filling stuff from walgreens which for now is doing the trick, before finding this filling I was using gum which probably wasn't that healthy but at this point I don't think healthy even matters with the state of my mouth.
Lesson here? Brush your teeth because I have no clue what I'm going to do going forward.
TLDR: TIFU by biting into a jolly rancher and having not brushed my teeth regularly in years I chipped the back part of my molar.
Edit: thanks to people who aren't being dick heads about this and have good advice / stories to help solidify the importance of brushing teeth. I'm well aware this is disgusting and that my choices clearly have led to a shitty outcome, no need to remind me.
Adding Jolly Ranchers to a Weiss beer.
Hi there I’m about to add 5# of jolly ranchers to a 5 gallon batch. My question is: Do I need to crush or melt it first before adding? Primary fermentation is done. Anyone done this before? Please and Thank You.
I think I am finally starting to get the hang of this morning sickness. It's exhausting trying to eat every hour though! I had some oyster crackers this morning and then a third of a muffin a jolly rancher and now some yogurt. I live on the west coast so it's only 11 here. Been eating teeny amounts since 8 am and I feel better than I have the last few days. I might even try some Panera soup for lunch. For some reason I was thinking we should be eating every 4 hours (I think I read that somewhere) but no absolutely not. Every hour seems to be the sweet spot. I hope this helps someone.
