@katbyter Or the back side of your lip. After that happens it swells and then happens over and over. You kinda just want to stop eating and chewing after that.
@2many2no Also blueberry seeds - tiny and hard to get out once they are stuck, even with floss. (But totally worth it when grazing fresh off the blueberry bush!)
What is the most embarrassing because its so obviously visible to others (leafy greens)
The pandemic has rendered #3 mostly moot. I find that if I have access to dental floss, any of them are relatively easy to get out. Therefore, since I am always at home, the pandemic has rendered #2 moot. That also means that the duration of said “stuckage” is very short, making #1 not so important.
A piece of meat. I have tight teeth (thanks to wisdom teeth). There are some kinds of floss I can’t even get to where it needs to get to work, it shreds on the way in.
Get a piece of chicken or beef in there, and man, it’s bothersome.
@lisaviolet Try the teflon floss. It’s really good. My wife flosses all the time and I found a big package of it at Costco for her.

Keep in mind that the research was conducted by the Silent Spring Institute. They are far from unbiased but the study may still be valid. You be the judge.
@Felton10 “My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon’s appointments.”
@DrWorm Now with the mask and the face shield your dental hygienist could be an alien and you wouldn’t know it.
They had this new contraption re the Covid-19 placed near my mouth that was kind of a cone at the end, louder than hell and vacuumed up all the loose water and spray coming out of my mouth when using the Cavitron to clean my teeth.
Guess that that helps justify the additional $ 15 they now charge per visit for all the extra things they had to buy due to the Pandemic.
I am not going to say what everyone else is thinking.
A tiny piece of your tongue. Yes, it’s a thing.

Never mind.
Blackberry seed.
Worth it because blackberries, but damn they hurt and are hard to get out.

Floss, that shit hurts like a son of a bitch.
@Star2236 That’s what I was going to say …
Some drunk dude’s fist.
Um, plutonium?
Chia seed
@Kaylan Agreed, and not worth the effort IMHO.
Your own foot
Depends on what factor(s) you prioritize.

@DrWorm I think you’ve over analyzed this.

@lisaviolet same here. I have to use the tape type floss. It is flat and slides right in!

@tweezak I use glide.
I read the wiki article.
Damn, is anything safe any longer?
Then I did some more research and found this.

Whew. Gonna keep using Glide.
@lisaviolet Thanks for digging into this. I’ll have to find another way to poison my wife.
@lisaviolet I feel your pain too- made me quit eating beef [or any kind of] jerky.
I am pleasantly surprised the comments did not go to the gutter!
@hchavers How small is the thing for it to be stuck between teeth?!?!?
Toothpick.
You went in there after something else, and left behind a frickin’ 2x4.
Want to thank meh for asking this question on the very day I go to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned.

Pubies, DUH!
@JoseBandito and there it is! That didn’t take long
/giphy giggle
@JoseBandito @tinamarie1974 uhhhhmmm, do those normally get stuck in the teeth or more like on your tongue, or at the back of your throat…?
@JoseBandito @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Depends on your technique I guess
@JoseBandito @lichme @tinamarie1974 I mean, we’ve always made jokes about flossing with them, but we didn’t mean literally.

@tweezak great album.
