" I'd been so distracted by eating dessert that I completely forgot that sometimes the best way to spike your blood sugar comes through a straw! "

If you just got your wisdom teeth out, i really hope you aren't using that straw or you could be in a world of hurt.

@1 Don't worry, I used a spoon until I was out of the dry-socket window. All healed up now, with no dry sockets!

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed 3 days before Christmas. I spent that whole vacation eating nothing but chocolate-mint milkshakes (chocolate ice cream + milk + candy canes + blender) and I lost 5 pounds. Kind of a win-win-win-win-win.
