to think I've been burnt....

[TheTenantOfWildfellHall]

by some M&S vine ripened piccolino tomatoes?!

I bought some this morning. They're delicious. I've eaten 12 and I have a very painful tongue now. It's not dissimilar to drinking too hot coffee. But it's quite uncomfortable.

Is this even possible?

Did you wash them first?

I once burnt the skin off my tongue by eating a quarter pound of acid drop boiled sweets.

Haha... well you're not BURNT as such, but the acid will have got to you, that's all.

Actually, scratch that, burnt yes, acid burn. Duh me!

I did wash them!

Well they must be mighty acidic.

But they taste so scrummy!

Acid burn. Nice. Hey maybe I could sue...

Oooh oooh yes - MissPenteuth - I too slashed my mouth to pieces on a small, rustly paper bag full of Everton mints.

When thoroughly sucked, they separate out into razor-sharp shards. Probably some sort of scouse joke.

Mm actually pear drops do this too.

tommies give me tongue burn too

Once got chemical burns and an ulcerated throat from some Morrison's Traditional Cough Drops, but that's a whole nother story.

Only time I've ever seen a GP reel back in horror

Fruit and vegatables are DANGEROUS and should be AVOIDED.

A bar of chocolate is safe.

I think you might be right, Pinot.

My tongue still hurts now. Never had that from bar of chocolate!

Think of me as the Dumbledore of food choice.

You wouldn't have got this off a bag of Percy Pigs.

dumbledore eats earwax flavoured beans in error Pinot, and vomit.

I'd like Pinot to become prime minister please. She talks such uncommon sense!

Yes huffy - and you can be Chancellor and we can spend Monopoly money with abandon :o

Wise words, Kladdaka. Wise words indeed.

Prefer reversy Percy's myself, again, no burning in evidence after a whole bag few :o

I made my tongue bleed with a giant Double Lolly. It was absolutely worth it though.

Fresh pineapple makes my tongue bleed.

Kiwi fruit does this to me too.

Too much pineapple can do that to me.

If I eat a shed load of Maltesers it makes the roof of my mouth sore too...doesn't stop me eating them though

And Sugar Puffs make your wee wee smell of Sugar Puffs.

'Tis quite unnerving. And a partial non-sequitur, to boot.

Try sucking a crunchie bar slowly. The blood just pours out of your tongue. I have done it more than once too

I've sucked crunchies slowly and never had blood pour out of my tongue. I'm loving the crunchie suck. In fact, much to my husband's disappointment, it's one of the few thins that I will suck :)
