I shared the actual PDF with my mother and father, and they told me it was “liberal propaganda”. Funny thing is, they aren’t uneducated or stupid. They’ve just had Fox News and conservative talk-radio playing in the background of their lives for 20+ years. It’s actually really sad. They used to be Hank Hill type conservatives, now they refuse to even entertain opinions (or facts, for that matter) that they don’t already believe.

I feel bad because the only way I can keep the flossing habit up is to use those disposable plastic flossers. I need to find a reusable one – where it’s just a handle that i can replace/rethread the floss, instead of contributing to plastic pollution…
