When I was a teenager I was addicted to SweeTarts. Ten years later my
youngest son became addicted, renewing my own addiction. It was his
fault,he shouldn't have brought them in the house. :-P I remember
they left my mouth feeling funny, but I forget how. Like you, I would
let them dissolve instead of chewing them, although I would chew one
once or twice. It has been many years since I had a SweeTart.

Was that before or after breakfast?

Becca,

Sometimes SweeTarts will rub the roof of my mouth raw in spots as they
dance around on my tongue. Sound familiar?

Best,

Andy

Yep, you are exactly right, the same thing happened to me. Funny how I
blocked that from my memory. Maybe I was sucking on my SweeTarts a
little too aggressively.


Congrats on quitting smoking.

I haven't had SweeTarts for many years either, but I think Red Bull tastes
like SweeTarts.
