The Streak is Broken
Good dental hygiene is very important to me. That’s why it hurts to announce the end of my no-cavity streak. The last blemish on my dental records came in 1999*. And while I admit I’m a tad excited to learn the ins and outs of 21st-century fillings, I need to re-examine my eating habits.
The only new addition to my summer diet were Edy’s Dibs. Remember Bon Bons? Just like those. Here’s the thing – the serving size is 26 Dibs. That’s a lot of time for a lot of chocolate to cavitize** my streaking pearly whites.
But like the guy who gives up smoking only to be diagnosed with lung cancer months later, I’ve already quit the Dibs. Been clean for 12 days. Now I’m back on the fruit bandwagon that’s been so good to me over the years.
Let me leave you with one piece of advice – Dibs are phenomenal. The perfect summer dessert. If your teeth and body fat percentage are normal, try one. Or 26.
* I don’t keep great dental records. The streak could have been much longer, or possibly shorter.
** Probably not a word.
