A raw material for a gummy composition, and a gummy candy composed of the gummy composition, contain pyroglutamic acid, preferably in an amount of 0.08 mass % to 1.5 mass %. By adding pyroglutamic acid, the gummy candy has an improved melt-in-the-mouth feeling, while also being non-adhesive and soft, and having improved flavor release during chewing.

The present invention discloses a non-acidic-candy based composition for arresting or reversing dental caries by transforming the oral cavity from an acidic, bacteria-filled environment to an environment more conducive to remineralization by quickly neutralizing the acids recreated by ingestion of acidic compounds or by cariogenic bacteria while supplying necessary ions for tooth remineralization. This improves oral health, prevents pain and suffering, and serves as a conduit to deliver additional therapeutic agents. The composition comprises any combination of a calcium-based compound, a bicarbonate compound, a fluoride compound, an active ingredient, a therapeutic agent based on need, a non-cariogenic sweetener, a hydrating agent, at least one additive, and water. The composition is a candy that has a non-acidic-based composition which neutralizes acids while delivering necessary ions in a pH optimized environment to create the best possible conditions needed to arrest and/or reverse disease processes in the oral cavity and beyond.

Compositions and methods to avoid the gag reflex to enable swallowing of pills, by applying an edible coating to the pill that generates bubbles, so that the bubbles prevent direct contact of the pill with the back of the mouth, thereby avoiding the gag reflex. Preferably the coating generates bubbles from an acid-base reaction, from compressed bubbles entrapped in hard candy, or from any other manner for creating fizzing, effervescent or popping confectionary or other food products. Optionally the coating can have a strong taste, such as by being sour, to distract away from the gag reflex. Optionally, a time release envelope is provided to delay bubbling or to block atmospheric humidity.

A taste enhanced candy piece is formed by a first candy section which is in an engagement to a second candy section. The candy piece has three taste areas for a user, and each can impart a different candy taste. Sweet or sour candy material may form either of the candy sections and either candy section may be formed of soft candy material or hard candy material.

The present invention relates to an edible container made of liquid, sugar, and one or more hydrocolloids. The edible container may hold hot or cold liquids for extended periods of time.

A protective panty/bikini has a shaped panel of moisture-resistant material that closely conforms to at least a portion of the crotch of a woman. The shaped panel has a waist opening, a right lea opening, a left leg opening, and a crotch portion that extends over the woman's crotch, closely covering the vulva and the anus. A flavor ridge runs centrally along the crotch portion, the flavor ridge extending over at least the vulva and the anus. The protective panty/bikini provides an erotic female garment that is convenient to wear, that accentuates womanly curves, and that provides a protective barrier against transmission of sexually transmitted disease during cunnilingus for both the wearer and her sexual partner. Additionally, the flavor ridge imparts a pleasant flavor, while providing lingual and tactile guidance to the woman's partner during cunnilingus in an environment with possibly limited visual guidance.

Delivery apparatus and assemblies are shown and described. In one embodiment, a delivery apparatus includes a container adapted to support the concealed article, a central tube, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism may release the container from the central tube and protrude through the exposed end. The result is an improved hidden display and assembly for enhancing efficient, effective delivery of a hidden item inside a food item(s) or the like.
