Root beer candy

My grandfather always used to have hard candy sitting out at his house. I preferred the red and white peppermint swirly things. However once in awhile he would not have those so I would pop one of those root beer barrel candies. They were horrible. I don’t recall if I ever made it to the end of one without spitting it out. I have avoided them ever since.

I just got my “permanent” retainer for my bottom teeth. It is a wire glued to the back of my teeth. So far I am not digging it, it feels like I have shit permanently stuck between my teeth. At least they are straight. The top teeth, the ones I really wanted fixed, still have 6 or 7 trays to go. The two teeth that bug me the most don’t seem to have moved much to me, they have a ways to go in the next few months.
