I am a fan of snacks at the office. It gives you a momentary distraction, as well as something to fatten yourself. Lately I’ve been enjoying the microwavable popcorn. Granted I fear for those stories of carcinogens passing into the popcorn from the bag lining and then into your body, but they are cheap, and for the most part healthier than chocolate.
Unfortunately, with popcorn comes bits of it in your teeth. Yes, the occasional piece makes it to the front of your teeth, but those are easy to pick out. I am referring to those pieces that get stuck in the back of your mouth, that no amount of toothpicks, floss, or fingers can remove. One would need a set of dental picks and mirrors to remove it, and unfortunately I haven’t picked one of those up for my desk.
You would think that in this day and age, we would be able to build a device that is simple, doesn’t involve a metal pick, and removes popcorn from ease. I dream of odd things at work.
