Jawbreakers vary in a variety of sizes, but one thing they always have in common is the various layers that are housed within the jawbreaker. Some jawbreakers are too huge to fit inside your mouth and must be eaten in an unusual way. Others are smaller but still very hard, which can be difficult to swallow.
Jawbreakers were originally invented in 1872 by John Harvey Kellogg. He created them as an alternative to cookies for his patients at the San Francisco Medical College & Hospital. The students at the school would come up with creative names for their experiments, so Kellogg named this new creation "jawbreaker" because it had the same shape as a human jawbone. These first jawbreakers weren't really popular, so several years later Kellogg changed the recipe and added sugar to make them more appealing. This new version of the candy was called "caramels." Caramels are still made today using the original method that Kellogg pioneered.
Jawbreakers are made of sugar, usually granulated sugar, but sometimes corn syrup or honey is used instead. The amount of sugar needed to make caramels varies depending on how much moisture is present in the milk or cream that you use. If the mixture is too dry, it will be hard when cooled. If it's too wet, then the caramel will dissolve before it has a chance to set into a brittle.
Until your jawbreaker is tiny enough to fit in your mouth, lick it. Some jawbreakers will be far too large to put in your mouth straight immediately. The jawbreaker should eventually be tiny enough to fit inside your mouth. Jawbreakers generally have numerous layers that are various colors. These colors often indicate which part of the jawbreaker was first to break down - red for skin, white for core, and black for wood.
Once you think your jawbreaker is small enough to fit in your mouth, start by putting one in slowly so it doesn't go all the way in then suddenly stop. This may feel like something is blocking your throat, but this is normal. You want to make sure you don't choke on your jawbreaker.
As you continue to eat your jawbreaker, more of it will begin to dissolve into your saliva. This process can take a while - it usually takes about an hour for a whole jawbreaker to disappear - so you should try not to eat too many at once.
When you think your jawbreaker is gone, use your tongue to push it toward the back of your mouth. If you're able to feel it with your tongue, that means it's still hard and raw in some places and you need to eat some more tissue. If not, that means it's gone and you're safe to go back to what you were doing before you started eating your jawbreaker.
Jawbreakers are incredibly hard, and you may hurt your jaw or even shatter a tooth if you use one. Biting or chewing on the jawbreaker should be avoided until it is very little and soft. Then it can be eaten.
You should never chew on a jawbreaker as it will not break down like candy would. It will stay hard which can cause problems for your teeth.
The best thing to do with a jawbreaker is to keep it out of reach of children. Adults who want to test their strength could try biting one but be sure to use only a slight amount of force since they are so hard.
Once you have bitten into one, it is almost impossible to extract the piece of candy from your mouth. You will need help doing this.
If you keep chewing gum then there is a chance you will eat through your teeth trying to get more flavor out of it. This can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes or heart disease. Chewing gum is actually quite an intense activity for your body so be careful not to overdo it.
There are some people who think it is funny to bite down on a jawbreaker. If you do this then you will feel a lot of pain because it will stretch out your muscles.
A jawbreaker is a large, spherical, hard piece of sweets. The bulge in a child's cheek generally indicates that she is sucking on a jawbreaker. In North America, the term "jawbreaker" generally refers to an extremely sweet type of candy that, due to its hardness, cannot be chewed. It is usually made by rolling a sugar solution into small spheres and drying them into candy.
The name "jawbreaker" comes from the fact that they are so very sweet that people often use them as an emergency source of energy when there are no other options available. As such, they are very popular with school children who may need a quick boost of energy for class or playtime. Although they are not recommended as a regular source of nutrition, jawbreakers can help provide the necessary nutrients that your body needs during times of stress or illness.
Jawbreakers are most commonly red in color, but others colors include orange, green, and purple. They come in several sizes, usually ranging from about 1-3/4 inches (4-9 cm) in diameter. There are also larger versions called rockers which typically measure about 1-1/2 inches (4-5 cm) in diameter. Jawbreakers were originally manufactured by the millions for use as pigments in paint. This is because they are very durable and will not dissolve in water like many other candies do. Instead, they remain intact even after being exposed to moisture for some time.
