    Hold the toothpick near its center Moisten the pointed end in your mouth Insert the toothpick into your tooth space, with the blunt end next to your gum Use a gentle in-out motion

      You know, I never actually got taught how to use toothpicks, and I don’t have spaces between my teeth that would fit a tooth pick like you’re describing, so TIL. It’s definitely not as intuitive as “burn” though.

        I’m not sure, maybe you’ve never eaten food before. But the toothpick is to attempt to clear out all the weird little bits that get stuck. It’s wasteful when they wrap them in plastic for sure, but it’s for the tiny scraps of cabbage and stringy human carcass that are annoying until you get to your toothbrush

      Only if it’s at least a six minute video, in which lighting the candle doesn’t begin until at least minute four.

        Hey guys, uh, this is a video showing you how to light a candle. Lighting a candle is gonna be pretty useful if it’s dark or if you want your house smelling nice, but sometimes it can be kinda difficult, I’ve had a lot of comments asking me to make this video so I’m uh I’m gonna go ahead and show you how to light this candle. This is a candle I got from Tesco but you can get them from anywhere really…
