Googling about Braces
15 days until I get my braces, I am so nervous. I have been reading and researching on the internet all day. This is probably not helping my apprehension about the treatment but it is good to know what to expect. I have learnt a lot of things about cleaning and brushing with braces. It's appears to be a tedious and time consuming task as I will have to brush after every mean and floss. I don't like flossing and rarely do. One thing I have learned about is a WaterPik which is basically a home version of the water jet spray that the dentist uses. I think I am going to invest in one of those but they seem so bulky even the cordless portable ones. With all the research, I began contemplating backing out of the treatment but that isn't going to happen. I am too invested in the treatment and would hate to not get the treatment. I know this will be a long and adventitious journey and I look forward to taking it. In the meantime, I will be enjoying my last 15 days of eating whatever the F I want to. I've had a Snicker's bar everyday since my consultation. I love Snickers. Since Dr. V hasn't given me a list of foods not to eat, I really don't know what I need to indulge in but I'm sure the internet will tell me.

What's the difference between Snickers and Baby Ruth?
What’s the difference between a Snickers bar and a Baby Ruth? Both chocolate candy bars contain milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel and nougat. However they provide two different and unique tastes.
Snickers is a chocolate candy bar made by Mars, Incorporated. It consists of peanut nougat topped with roasted peanuts and caramel, covered in milk chocolate. The Snickers bar was first introduced in 1930 by the Mars family. The name originated from the owners’ favorite horse.
Baby Ruth is a chocolate candy bar made by Nabisco. It consist of chocolate-covered peanuts, caramel, and nougat, though the nougat found in it is more like fudge compared to that of a Snickers bar. It was introduced in 1900, originally called the Kandy Kake. The Curtiss Candy Company took a controversial move to rename the candy bar, Baby Ruth. Despite noticeable coincidences, the Curtiss Candy Company claims that the candy bar was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland (died 17 years before named changed) and not famous baseball player Babe Ruth (Rise to fame began in 1921).
In comparing the two I discovered very few differences. Snickers has creamier caramel and chocolate that tends to stay intact opposed to Baby Ruth’s' chocolate that has a tendency to crumble and lay flakes of chocolate. Baby Ruth uses whole peanuts and tends to have a higher ratio of peanuts compared to Snickers’ use of split peanuts. The biggest difference between the two seems to be the placement of the ingredients. Snickers have nougat, caramel, and peanuts covered in chocolate. While a Baby Ruth is basically peanuts around nougat center covered in chocolate.
So it boils down to, Do you prefer your peanuts in chocolate (Snickers) or your chocolate in peanuts (Baby Ruth). I'm in the majority in saying that Snickers is the better choice but that's just our opinion. “To each it’s own”. I’ll take the peanuts in chocolate. Or maybe I’ll try some almonds in chocolate (Snickers with Almonds)
