Burning the roof of your mouth...

[Oneironaut]

Who's done this?

Seriously, this just sucks. Burning and/or biting your tongue is one thing, but burning the roof of your mouth is just freakin horrible. I burned mine on a jalapeno popper yesterday, and not only did I have the bright idea to get some Pringles after work - which was like eating sandpaper, but I took a shot of whiskey tonight, and it was murder. About 45 minutes after I ate the jalapeno, I was pulling something (either a piece of cheese, batter or skin) off of the roof of my mouth.

I ate a stuffed mushroom, a few months back, which made it hurt to eat anything for about 2 weeks.

I guess the lesson I've yet to learn is to stop putting hot shit in my mouth.

Oh well. It'll sink in, eventually. :P

[Odd_Nonposter]

Done it. Goddamn microwave burritos. Fortunately, it wasn't nearly as bad as you described. I've learned to shift things around in my mouth really fast when they're hot.

Speaking of dead mouth skin, have you ever sucked on one of those Warhead sour candies for too long in one spot? I had stuff peeling off of the inside of my cheek for the entire rest of the day.

[WakataDreamer]

Criminy. I've burned my tongue something nasty (couldn't tate or feel in it for three days, literally) but never the roof of my mouth.

Sounds painful. :paranoid:

*Goes off to try burning the roof of his mouth to see what it's like*

Have you ever tried those candy-coated dried peppers that get hotter the longer you chew them? Damn.

Oh God I've done this so many times. I never learn.

[guitarboy]

I;ve never done this, but i burned my lip on a cookie. It looked so good, but it was so hot. I also burned my hand when I took them out of the oven, but that was just me being stupid.

[mrweiner]

i hate doing that! it always happens to me if i have a microwave personal pizza. (im a college student, dont judge me! lol). it is one of the worst feelings...for like a week.

I was counting on that. I'm used to putting hot shit in my mouth and just rolling with it. But, in the case of jalapeno poppers (which are fried jalapenos filled with molten cream cheese) and stuffed mushrooms, they actually explode into your mouth, when you bite down on them. So it's like getting a mouthful of napalm. :?

I used to love warheads, but I can't say that I've done that. I was always rolling them around all the time.

Have you seen the Simpsons episode with the chili festival?

I usually use a lot of saliva when things are hot. I don't remember burning my mouth, though I bite myself a lot. I feel like killing someone when that happens, it's so painful and ruins the meal.

[Adam]

I usually only do it with Pizza, and it sucks :(

[Dizko]

Hot chocolate always gets me. Lasts for days as well, often comes with a bad taste. Sucks.

[Man of Steel]

Oh yeah, hot chocolate, burritos, hot soup... I'm alway doing that.

Royal pain in the ass mouth.

[Robot_Butler]

Just thinking about this makes me shiver. The worst part about it is you always have no one to blame but yourself. You got greedy.

I burned myself horribly at lunch the other day. I got Korean food, and they took forever with my order. I had a meeting right after lunch, and was pressed for time. Like an idiot, I ordered that hot tofu soup they serve in the scalding hot clay pot. I swear that thing keeps boiling for 10 minutes after they bring it to your table. I had to slurp that magma down in a hurry. Later, the police showed up at my door accusing me of mouth-homicide.

LOL!! Great description! :D

I just did this.. biting the inside of my cheek while chewing gum. What's maddening is that I often bite the EXACT SAME PLACE again a little later for some unknown reason. :P

Usually when I'm in a hurry, I'll grab soup (because there's never a line for soup) and as some ice to it. If you don't mind it a tad more dilute, that is. (Tofu soup is mostly water anyway, right?)

Haha. Yea. I remember that episode.

Yeah, I've got no one to blame but myself. She had just brought them out of the fryer, and I should have known better than to just throw one in my mouth, but - as you said - I was pressed for time and I wasn't even thinking. I just wanted food!

Lol. I do that a lot, and I hate it. It's times like that when you have to ask yourself: "I"ve been eating for me whole freakin' life...WHY HAVE I NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO STOP BITING MYSELF??!"




It still hurts, though. Takes a lot of the fun out of eating. I had some wings today and I couldn't even really enjoy them because every bite felt like I was sucking on thumb tacks. :?

ROFL!! :D I know exactly what you mean! I love that soup, though. I do sometimes wish they'd stop with the eternally boiling clay pot things.

I HATE THAT, biting the exact same place!! Waaaahhh!!

I love how everyone's experienced something like this. :lol: What a thing to bring us all together.

[CRAZY BONE]

Stay away from Hot Pockets. They have a bad tendency to be frozen in some spots, but boiling lava hot in other spots :P

[[SomeGuy]]

Royal pain in the ass-mouth.
Fixed lol.


I do this so many times, it's not fair. Also, doesn't it hurt when you eat too many salty chips? I hate that..I just don't want to stop eating them. They hurt so much.

It is weird that neither evolution nor science have solved this problem yet. Do crocodiles bite their own cheeks? Do sharks? Why are we humans so poorly put together?

Back in school, my friend got a part time job promoting and handing out Big Red cinnamon gum when they switched over to their "new and improved" gum (whatever that means). He had stacks of the stuff, and I took a huge pillowcase full of it. I chewed so much of that spicy gum, my entire mouth started to disintegrate. I knew it was happening, but for some reason I couldn't stop chewing the stuff. I was totally hooked. Finally, my tongue started to bleed, and in a flash of clear thinking, I threw the rest of that evil caustic crap away. To this day, I still can't chew cinnamon gum.

:eek:

Speaking of hot cinnamon gum, never lick and stick a wrapper from a piece of it on your forehead. IT BURNS!!

(Don't ask why I was stupid enough to do this. We were bored in study hall one day.)

Ugh, yeah bro it's pretty horrible. I've burned the roof of my mouth I think twice (to my knowledge) and each time I found myself pulling layers of dead skin off of the roof of my mouth.
