    I counter with broccoli stuck between front teeth but nobody told you until after an important encounter where you needed to look presentable.

      I physically cringed imagining sticking a staple into my gums. Just use floss or floss picks, please don’t torture yourself like this

        I don’t shove it into my gums lol, I just nudge the kernel shell out of a gap. I trust my fine motor skills.

    I rolled a natural 1 on flossing and now my gums are bleeding and the popcorn shell is now buried deeper.

      I got a popcorn kernel so stuck in my gum behind the back molar that the dentist had to remove it. A few months later, the next time I had popcorn, the same thing happened. I haven’t eaten popcorn and I’ve flossed my teeth every night since, because I was only a pre-dentist flosser at the time. It’s been over fifteen years, and my gums are probably strong enough to handle it now, but I still don’t trust popcorn. I do miss it though.
