“ | THE LAST TEAM TO FIND A CONTESTANT WILL BE PUNISHED!! | ” |
Jawbreakers are food items that first appeared in "Lick Your Way to Freedom".
Jawbreakers are sucked or licked because they are too hard to bite, hence the name jawbreaker (however, 8-Ball is able to easily bite through one for unknown reasons). They seem to have one-way sound routes, as Taco could not be heard from the inside of the jawbreaker in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", but she could hear her team. Turning them inside out reverses this effect, as seen in "The Liar Ball You Don't Want".
Coverage[]
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", the challenge was to free the dead contestants trapped in the jawbreakers. Although most of them were freed by licking, there are other ways to break the jawbreakers open, such as using Rocky's vomit, breaking it, or simply eating a piece of it.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Taco was still yet to be freed from a jawbreaker. She tried to get her team to free her; however, they assumed that she has abandoned them. Eventually Taco was able to free herself from the jawbreaker.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Ruby played with remains of the Jawbreakers (where X was hiding); however, Fries mistook them for rubber domes and yelled Ruby to stop playing them. Flower and Ruby made Match and Fries wear the remains of the jawbreakers for fashion. Donut put Loser into one of the jawbreakers and turned inside out to eliminate him; however, the contestants used this inside out jawbreaker for a challenge. Towards the end of it, Remote would explode as a bomb, launching the jawbreaker into space.
In "Questions Answered", the inside out jawbreaker in which Loser was trapped made a brief appearance on TV's screen during Cake at Stake.
In "Enter the Exit", Four brought the jawbreaker with Loser back and sent it into the E.X.I.T., where it stayed until finally being destroyed by Loser in "The Escape from Four".
The jawbreakers made one more appearance in BFB, in "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning", in which a few eliminated contestants were trapped inside normal jawbreakers for BFB 2's challenge, and Loser was trapped inside the Liar Ball again for BFB 7's challenge.
In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", for Book's nightmare, she was trapped inside a normal jawbreaker, in a similar fashion as Taco.
In "Out Of The Blue", there are still some jawbreaker pieces from the Liar Ball seen in the EXITors’ stash.
