I broke my jaw on a jawbreaker — the candy lived up to its name

She found out the hard way why they’re called jawbreakers. Canadian college student Javeria Wasim, 19, dared to bite into the notoriously hard-shelled candy. She picked a "giant one, the biggest size they had," measuring three inches in diameter, only to chip a tooth and suffer two bone fractures in her face. The painful mistake led to emergency surgery and her jaw wired shut for six weeks. "You realize how important your mouth is, you use it for literally everything in your life. It has affected my life so much," she said.
