All we do is eat. And you do too, otherwise you wouldn’t be browsing FavorFlav right now. When we once again inhaled a bowl of salty popcorn in the newsroom, our biggest food annoyance reared its head: popcorn leftovers between our teeth. Just like all these other products, they’re hell to pick out. So irritating!

In the meat category

Ossenworst Those hard, white pieces of fat that stay stuck between your teeth.
Roast beef Enjoy flossing out the leftover white, meaty threads.
Filet Americain Here, the revolting meat threads can also be orange, you know, like that disgustingly delicious filet Americain from the supermarket. 

In the snacking category

Popcorn And preferably one of those tiny hulls, stuck nicely at the back of your palate or under your tongue.
Licorice Being ill means eating honey licorice and picking honey licorice out of your molars.
Chips Delicious: cheese and onion stuck between your molars. But even worse: wanting to take a bite and finding a chip still standing upright, so that you spear the roof of your mouth right down the middle with full force.

In the fruit and vegetable category

Spinach Spinach leaves also stick so nicely on your front teeth, not even between them. No, just right on top. Usually during a first date with that hottie, too. And nobody says that there’s something stuck between your teeth. Also irritating.
Celery – After a Bloody Mary, you’ll inevitably bite the celery in half. Just don’t do it with your front teeth, otherwise you’ll be flossing.
Asparagus Not only does it make your pee smell, it also makes your mouth smell when half of it gets stuck.
Strawberry seeds Sometimes a strawberry allergy can suddenly come in handy: never having those seeds stuck between your teeth again. Hallelujah!

In the breakfast category

Crackers Whole-wheat crackers with seeds. Tasty, healthy and bloody irritating.
White bread rolls A sausage roll on a deliciously soft white roll? Wonderful how everything just keeps sticking like that.
Wrap Sometimes you have one of those Albert Heijn breakfast wraps in a hurry? Deliciously soggy, right? When you bite into it with your front teeth, half of it immediately sticks. Then it’s a wrestling match with your tongue to get it off.
Rice cakes They’re not called a great thing for babies to suck on for nothing; they don’t have molars yet.
Muesli, cruesli, granola, chia seeds, nuts—everything you put in your quark in the morning Are you someone who brushes their teeth before breakfast? If you’ve eaten all this, you can do it again.
