    I've had dentures for 40 years! I can eat everything, including corn on the cob and apples. They must fit your mouth perfectly.

    You can but it takes some getting used to. Eat slow, chew a lot, if it can't be cut with a fork, be very careful so that you don't choke. It will get easier with practice..

    There's no good reason why you can't eat almost everything.  You should, of course, always cut your food into bite-sized pieces and chew carefully.  Harder foods, like apples, may need to be sliced rather than just bitten into whole.  
    Keep those teeth clean and secure them well when in use. 

    they say in the adds you can eat anything as long as the dentures fit perfect in the first place

    yes, though any change in your mouth takes awhile to get used to, my old father in law would you believe, used to take his teeth out to eat!
