Consequently I am a great advocate for toothpicks. A restaurant that openly displays them has always received extra brownie points and a blight on those that don’t supply them or have them hidden away in some dusty corner.
My addiction is such that I have become an expert at shredding a match to make an impromptu toothpick when the real thing hasn’t been available. But all that has changed, I have found the ultimate toothpick here in the Philippines.
A plastic cutlass shaped unit that is toothpick at one end and dental flosser at the other. Flossing, essential as all dentists decree, is a rather gross activity best conducted in privacy of ones bathroom. With this unit the days of two handed flossing is now a distant memory. It is now possible to do a quick floss in public and be discreet about it.
A real boon to oral hygiene and if the meal gets tedious a quick swash buckle with a trusted friend can relieve the boredom for a few minutes.
Where can one buy this? At SM, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteActually, there's a floss with a Y-shaped plastic handle which one can buy from his/her dentist/orthodentist there (I'm not sure if it's available at the pharmacy). My Filipino dentist was the one who introduced me to this nice invention. But here in Switzerland, I use the traditional floss.
I havent seen the Y shaped unit. The cuddles can be obtained from The Landmark, not sure about SM. Thanks for dropping by.
