Supersize Mouths For Supersize Food

While a third of the world goes to bed hungry, fast food restaurants in Taiwan have been urged to drop 'big' burgers from their menus amid a growing number of jaw injuries ..... Hamburger-related injuries are on the rise, so be warned!

Professor Hsu Ming-lung, of National Yang-Ming University, said that he has seen patients who have had difficulty opening their mouths after munching giant burgers, and that problems can arise when eating burgers higher than 8cm (3ins), he was quoted as saying by the China Post.

I used to have the same problem with 'Gob Stoppers!' when I was a stripling .... no such thing as burger joints when I was a lad in a small village.
