Gobstoppers are a candy created by the fiendish minds of Nestlé Inc. in conjunction with the American Dental Association. The candy is a normal run-of-the-mill Jawbreaker, so named because of the specific hardness of the candy and the resulting damage it will do to your jaw if you just bite down on a fresh one. An interesting fact about the Gobstopper/Jawbreaker is the fact that it changes color as the candy is sucked on.

The Facts

1. Jawbreakers and Gobstoppers are one in the same.

2. When fresh out of the box they are impossibly hard. This is no joke. Eat these candies with care. They can do serious damage to your teeth¹.

3. They are relatively cheap in price which offsets the resulting dental bill.

4. They are addictive as hell.

5. They are colourful.

6. They are a choking hazard for small children. Some adults may be prone to choking on these as well. Exercise extreme caution!
