It’s an absolute bugger to get out, often involving a finger to work it free?
I don’t recall that ever happening with any other foodstuff.
The back of the tongue one is annoying and sometimes chokes me while in the middle of talking, but much worse is when the husk is just the right shape so it wedges in at the interface between the back of a tooth and your gum. Shit is IMPOSSIBLE to get out you just have to wait until it feels like it. No amount of poking with your tongue will dislodge it, or even if you try to use your finger and the more you try, the more the sharp corners of the husk fragment stab at the gums which hurts. Feels incredibly satisfying when it spontaneously just comes out though.
Poppy seeds do it for me too
The Germans call that trollunterderbrücke, probably.
Tbh it kinda does fit…
I also happens with the husks of coriander and Shechuan peppercorns.
Must be a husk thing. Makes you wonder why solely, or largely, husks move like that in the human mouth? I wonder if an animal would get the same thing?
They are tiny suction cups, basically.
Sometimes chewed nuts produces a tiny pyramid that lodges perfectly between two molars, impossible to get out without serious effort.
I’m missing a molar, and half a peanut will just slot itself right in there and be all like stevebuschemi.jpg “What’s up, fellow teeth?”
I don’t recall that ever happening with any other foodstuff.
Strawberries. The little seeds get stuck wedged between my teeth, or wedged into the top of molars; where I’ve either got to poke at them with my tongue and finger for a few hours, or dig them out with a dental pick.
That’s teeth though. The corn husk works it’s way right down to the root of your tongue, in a convenient cleft where it meets the throat. If you know, you know.
I know exactly what you’re talking about and it’s why I don’t eat popcorn.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, I either dig it out with a finger or gargle it out.
Apple skins, dry chicken fibers, and broccoli pieces too. IIRC there was a study that looked at why the tongue and your finger end up disagreeing on where the debris is lodged. I usually whip out the water flosser if I’m home and my fingers aren’t up to the job.
I’ve had little pieces of the shell get stuck in between my teeth, but never under my tongue
