Excerpt: Unfortunately, there’s no evidence that any of the original patients actually had fillings. So either an unknown process was causing the explosions or the patients were exaggerating symptoms which were far more mundane. For now at least it seems that the “mystery of the exploding teeth” will remain unsolved.
I bet a wedding cake like this would bring lots of luck! I’m not guaranteeing what kind, though… https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1f/a8/68/1fa868e1aa3795a71a1974d53b63ff33.jpg

Good luck for the groom, maybe — if my wife saw a spider on her clothing, she’d be naked so quick the spider’s head would swim.

so after those dental disasters, people went to artificial dentures?

Like the joke about half of a worm in an apple. It would be better to find the spider than not find it and get bitten, perhaps.

Explosions in the mouth. We have progressed to exploding electronic cigarettes. How far from the puny exploding cigars!

So did they pack those teeth with sodium or potassium? Either would explode or burst into flame on contact with water.

Depends on the vinegar, reduced balsamic, raspberry for example can be quite nice when added to home made ice cream.

Vinegar ice creme? Wouldn’t the vinegar curdle the creme? And why? What would that even be good with?
