You know when you can just feel that popcorn kernal stuck back there in swampy recesses of your mouth and it’s totally infuriating?
Yes, your tongue slides past its smooth surface unsuccessfully, your toothbrush’s flimsy bristles just can’t shake it, and even your fingernail can’t quite unwedge it from the tight molar deathgrip it’s stuck in.
So the fork is dropped and the dessert lays unfinished, the conversation fades to a blurry, distant noise, and the world stops around you as you just keep trying and trying and trying to get that popcorn kernal out. You close your eyes and squint, you tilt your head, you emit a deep-bass “nnnnnnn” noise, as your body directs all available faculties at flushing this thing out. But it just sits there tightly, clogging and gumming up your entire system like a pile of defaulted mortgages.
Then suddenly it falls out.
AWESOME!

Truly, this is the most cleansing and liberating feeling in the world. Almost makes me want to get popcorn stuck in there, just so I can get it out.. almost.

Lol, That’s like the “Why are you hitting yourself?” “Because it feels good when I stop” situation XD

I’ve been waiting for an entry that could even approach the ultimate awesomeness of #987, picking the perfect nacho. This is the closest you’ve ever come. Congrats.

That is good, but I like:
… you know when you are tipping back in your chair? and then it starts to fall back, and you catch yourself just before it does?
That feeling — thats the one

While cleaning a patient’s teeth I found a piece of popcorn kernel. I asked her when she had last eaten popcorn – it had been almost a week!

I can relate! I’ll be getting mine off in a few months! =D

This is great when it finally is out!

That happens to me when I eat apples – I always get this annoying piece of apple skin stuck in my teeth.
December 10, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Me too!!! But, if it’s near the first bite, eat another bite on the skin a few times and usually comes out.

Have been searching for some decent information on this for awhile now thats for the great article.

That is almost as great at getting a piece of popcorn that you didnt even know was there, in fact you dont even remember eating popcorn. Its a real thinking situation.
January 25, 2010 at 8:52 pm
I concur. So much relief.
The funny part is that right after that, you start eating popcorn again, and then get another kernel stuck. Just for it to fall out again.
Yay!
