Today I was reliably informed (by the architect wife of a civil engineer friend) that Jolly Rancher candies have exactly the same compressive strength as concrete, 4000psi. What I did not hear was WHY a compressive strength test was performed on a Jolly Rancher. Someone somewhere has way too much free time on their hands.
Nevertheless, the take-home to me is simple: these candies must immediately be removed from our candy bowl. I pay enough to the dentist as it is, and do not need the children attempting to bite into the sugar-laden equivalent of concrete!
