Re: Curry and transparent power chains: not a good idea ;-)

[Guest guest]

Laen,

I had exactly the same experience with SPACERS after eating curry.

They too started as bright yellow but then faded to a rather

unpleasant colour.

It was pretty embarassing since I had spacers in my lower front

teeth - really looked like I had food or something stuck in there.

Watch out for yellow food!
