Why does candy do this?!


Question: Why does candy do this!?
What is it about sour candy that makes your jaw "lock up"!? lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I think the sour activates the salivary glands and also the taste buds for sour are more on the side of the tongue so there is a real pucker on the sides of the tongue back to the jaw!.
Think of tear jerker gum - it is like a shock to the whole face!.
I love it!!

Tell me this - when I eat vinegar like salt and vinegar chips my eyelids sweat!. Why!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

your body knows that sour isn't good for you (e!.g unripe fruit) so it responds by locking up your jaw

its an instinct thing:)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sour candy can sometimes aggravate TMJ if you are prone to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
