The asthma medication from when I was a kid wore most of the enamel off my teeth. I've had something like 21 cavities and 1 crown. Ain't no thing. Though the worst was getting 3 cavities filled 2 days before Easter and not being able to eat any candy because my mouth was still sensitive.
And no, I didn't eat a lot of candy as a kid. I did drink a lot of soda, though.

33 and same. Also didn't see a dentist for 7 years, and when I did they're like 'wow you have nice teeth' and sent me home like 15 minutes later. They charged me 175 dollars for a couple minutes of picking. :/
3 years later I finally got health insurance and went back to my old dentist, and he's all excited to bill my insurance for everything he can find... opens my mouth, looks inside and says "damn, nobody's ever getting rich off your teeth."
99.999% of my fluid intake is filtered/bottled water though, so that probably has a lot to do with it. No soda, a tiny bit of cranberry juice on rare occasions, and definitely no alcohol.

Did my routine Royal Farms stop today and picked up the sourest candy I could find thanks to the discussion in this thread: sour chewy sweet tarts. They basically taste like shock tarts, but with sweet tart flavors. They were great, and they gave me the sweet sweats like any proper sour candy should.

Stopped at Mcdonalds this morning for breakfast.
As much as I love their normal sausage breakfast burritos(which is a lot), I HATE their steak breakfast burrito with the same level of emotion. Just terrible. Ordered 2 of them, choked 1 down and threw the 2nd in the trash. Back to normal sausage breakfast burritos for me.

The sweats are actually from McCheese swallowing a pound of them in one shot. He thinks it's from the sour.

i wouldn't get any type of Mcdee burritos if i were you, going from memory 10 years ago Mcdee burritos were made with, 1 tortilla, 1 slice of american cheese cut in half and "burrito" mix. A bag of pre-cooked eggs and sausage that sits in the fridge for a week. (the length of time before the refill truck comes), and then they just nuke it when they give it to. The american cheese basically binds everything together. Well that was 10 years ago, maybe they changed the recipe, i doubt it though.
Instead just order an egg mcmuffin w/o butter. Always ask for w/o butter, this way they have to make it fresh, instead of getting it "pre-made" sitting in the bin(heat lamps).

Sounds delicious to me. No worse than a breakfast burrito from the frozen food section of the grocery store. If you're eating fast food, that's about the level of fast food you should be expecting.

Nice trick. I do the same sometimes with their fries. No salt. They have to make it fresh then.
As for their burritos, the best part about them is the melty american cheese, and I always used to get them in addition to something else I was getting. Unfortunately I was usually disappointed in them compared to the sausage biscuit, or mcgriddle I was getting with them.

McDonald's doesn't make sandwiches and stick them under lamps and hasn't in quite some time. Fries yes, may sit sometimes for a bit but sandwiches not so much.
Now this isn't to say said ingredients aren't sitting in warming trays for 10-15 minutes before assembled into a sandwich but usually the only time you'll get a pre made sandwich is if someone ordered one and drove off and you order one within minutes of it happening.

At burger king we used to pre-make a bunch of plain hamburgers/whoppers and stick them assembled like that in a steamer. When someone ordered something we added the cheese + condiments and microwaved it to melt the cheese.
There was a timer on how long they could sit in the steamer but there wasn't a real timer, it was just a mental note. And I was 16, so they never got taken out.

Doesn't sour stuff give you similar sweats like hot food does? Pretty sure I've read that somewhere.

Not to me (SUPER TASTER ALARM GOING OFF), but I generally don't get sweaty until Habanero or beyond in terms of hot sauce (HOT SAUCE FEDORA ACTIVATED)
