Would You Have A Meltdown....

If you realized you were out of floss?

I would be bothered because I do use the stuff.....waxed of course but not mint. I don't want mint profaning what I had eaten, lol.

Re: Would You Have A Meltdown....

I can't be 'out' because I don't have any in

Sorry folks, I have better things to do with my time than faff about with bits of cotton . A thorough brushing and eating crisp raw vegetables does for my teeth.

I use interdental brushes, didn't like using floss at all.

Re: Would You Have A Meltdown....

I use brushes too but they can be vicious if you don't pay attention!
I would however, have a meltdown if I ran out of wool, not for teeth-cleaning though!

Re: Would You Have A Meltdown....

I don't think people on this side of the water go in much for flossing AC, I've seen dozens of Ads for teeth care on TV but I've yet to see one advertising floss, minty, chocolate, strawberry, or waxy, a good overall brushing twice a day does the job for me and if anything gets stuck between my teeth and won't brush out I poke it out with a pin, but each to their own.

Only thing I ever used floss for was emergency laces in a pair of trainers, it's amazingly strong and lasted well all day.

Is this one of those very silly questions AC ??
Would I have a meltdown .......no, I have never used floss, waxed, minty or otherwise.

I'm thinking there are more important things to get upset about.

Re: Would You Have A Meltdown....

Yes Anita....it isn't meant to be taken literally, lol.

People floss because brushing doesn't get everything out no matter how hard you brush.

I don't have a meltdown either by the way.....okee dokee?

But I sure wouldn't use a pin

Re: Would You Have A Meltdown....

Okee dokee AC glad to hear you don't have meltdowns over floss, there are all kinds of items you can use to clean between your teeth in every size, so hopefully you will always have something to hand should you need it and no need for a pin.
