Why does tin foil hurt your teeth when you bite it?


Just a random question to give you guys something to do.

I did this once as a kid and YOW! It hurt! If you have never done it don't, you'll regret it, trust me.

I've always wondered why it does that and this is the perfect place to ask. Hey, there's a topic about a kid raping a dog so I think that at this point anything goes.

Damn, that was actually interesting. But all this time i thought you were supposed to wear the foil on your head, not in your mouth!

Duh ! You mean you didn't know that ? Geez ! Everyone knows that !

So if I don't have any fillings, it shouldn't hurt?

Re: Why does tin foil hurt your teeth when you bite it?


When I was a kid I would take tin foil and mold it to my face. Made a great likeness mask of my features. Used to be fun to play as Destro when we played G.I. Joe as kids. My friends had water guns.......I threw rocks Ah, the good ol' days.
