I did this before my first wedding (at which point I could be talked into just about anything). I had a gumshield made and had to pipe one third of a tube of special tooth bleach into the upper shield, and a third into the lower shield, before putting them on at night. As this was a rather bad time in my life, I had taken to drinking a little in excess. I stumbled upstairs one night, grabbed the tube and emptied it into the top shield. I was under the impression that I only had a third of a tube left, so I reached for a new tube to open for the lowed gum shield. To my horror, I found that the nearly empty tube was still on the side, and I had just piped a whole tube of bleach into the upper gum shield. I tried to dig the stuff out, but in my drunken state my efforts where somewhat ineffective. I woke up in the morning foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog!
