Goofy Flossing

Goofy Flossing Video

An activist dentist in the Bay Area of California, Dr. Dalvir Pannu, has been holding a monthly contest for flossing videos and pictures. The winner of his March contest was Vivek Vinayak who got Goofy to floss during a visit to Disneyland.

You can visit Dr. Pannu's blog (www.punjabidentist.com) to find out more about his contest. His practice seems to cover much of the Bay Area (http://www.pannudental.com), and he also has a radio show.

Floss on, Dr. Pannu!

Crust Toothpaste - "a name you can trust!"

I know this isn't floss, but friends often give me other dental items they find.
My friend, Rochelle, was in Jordan when she spotted this tube of "Crust Toothpaste." Made in China (Surprise?).
I wonder what brand they were imitating?


This is an item I've sent to the folks at www.engrish.com. It seems perfect for them.

The Beef Floss Danish

Our travelling correspondent, Jerry Smith, came across this delicacy while travelling in China.

It turns out that beef floss is only one of the "meat flosses" - don't forget to try chicken floss and pork floss!

Several Asian cultures have recipes that include meat boiled so throughly it becomes a stringy mass. They call the meat "floss."

This is the most novel use of "floss," we've uncoverered here at the NFC since the investigation of "The Mill on the Floss," several years ago.

Thank you, Jerry, for expanding our world view of "floss," and thanks to Google for helping to explain this exotic form of Floss.

New Flossing Haikus!

Here's a collection of new flossing haikus from Daniel English who lives in Upstate New York.
Dan reports that once he got going, it was hard to stop.
Thanks, Dan!

K.C. ribs ‘n fries,
Fallow fodder for flossing,
Followed by a brush…


I climbed the mountain,
The meaning of life to find.
“Floss!” was all he said.

Whiter than fresh snow
Lies floss against my cuspid.
Dracula flossed, too.

Caries, my burden.
Rue the day I tossed the floss
Underneath the bus.

Floss

Still trying to get past the bug that keeps this blog from being listed among Google blog alerts.
Flossing is great.
I have a google alert for floss & flossing. This blog hasn't shown. Any others see it mentioned in a google alert?

When will an entry here on floss or flossing get to Google alerts?

Flossing is great!
Floss is useful for cleaning your teeth and a 1001 other tasks.
There could be a McGiver show just built around floss!


Here we go again.
Sorry for the delay in really posting about floss and flossing, but something important is missing from this blog system.
We'll have to wait another day or two to see if it starts working.

Floss, Flossing

This is a duplicate of a recent post - the test is still underway. Google alert has been notified.
Real posts soon.

Floss is great!
Flossing is important!
These things are certainly true, but this post is actually a test.
As yet, this new blog has not been picked up in a google alert for floss and flossing.
This post is aimed at baiting the google alert system into listing it.
Once fully active, we will make a huge announcement of international flossing importance right here.
In the meanwhile, check www.flossing.org
More soon!
