Candy Mouthguard

From Fgijipedia

Lancer_Koala came across a patent for a "Mouthguard made at least partially from an edible candy". This lead to some interesting discussions in #fgij:

[12:16] <@Lancer_Koal> | http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5970981.html
[12:19] <@Lancer_Koal> | so the idea is to protect the teach from being knocked
          out so they can be rotted out instead?
[12:19] <@Lancer_Koal> | s/teach/teeth
[12:21] <@   criswell> | Mouthguard made at least partially from an edible candy
[12:21] <@   criswell> | "partially?"
[12:22] <@   criswell> | i'm more concerned about what the other part is made
          from
[12:30] <@   schultmc> | if it's all candy you could just eat it and you
          wouldn't have any protection
[12:31] <@   criswell> | but... isn't this for when you sleep?
[12:31] <@   criswell> | or when fighting?
[12:32] <@   criswell> | or doing something where you're busy doing other stuff
          and too busy to pay attention to WHICH part of your fucking mouth
          guard to NOT eat?
[12:45] <@   schultmc> | it seems like you'd lose your fight because you'd be
          too busy eating your mouthguard
[12:50] <@   schultmc> | mmm strawberry!
[12:51] <@   schultmc> | KO! The other guy wins!
