does a gobstopper actually stop your gob and what does it actually stop???

quote:

what does it actually stop???

It will stop you from losing weight if you eat too many of them

It'll stop you from breathing if you swallow it when it's still big, and It'll stop you from eating solid food if you bite it.

Come to think of it gobstoppers are pretty dangerous items.

1) The centre becomes molten and has the potential to explode resulting in severe burns (as seen on Mythbusters)
2) They are rammed with sugar and calories so can make you fat and rot your teeth!
3) If you swallow them you could choke becasue they are so big!

Mmmmm might give them a miss.

i'm diabetic so i never really eat gobstoppers even when I am hypo as it pushes blood sugars up, way up to about 18.x mmol/l.

While I'm at it, a myth goes round that gobstoppers are coated with a gel made from cow poo. Anybody correct, explain or diminish?

my cool syte :P it stops blood flowing because of all the artery cloggin materials in it... yup dats true!

They could make you stop breathing if you get one in your mouth behind your front teeth then can't open your mouth wide enough to get it out!
