My main problem with floss is, I need to floss again to get the little torn bits of floss out of there..

Luckily, they also practiced trepanation.

That’s what attracted the barbarian invaders!

I thought that Ugly Bob destroyed it by taking the bag off his head to save the Canadian Princess that tooth decay kidnapped. So South Park isn’t real?

[SunkenCiv]

Wow, there really is a Steppe magazine...

[Bonemaker]

I ron't think they practiced social distancing though.😎

[SunkenCiv]

Oh... the other one, too.

Oh, it's real -- real imaginary. :^)

Really? Does it have articles about how not to get eaten by dire wolves while fly fishing for giant Arctic Char and the best flint points for taking down Mastodons? LOL

[TigersEye]

Amazing! Next you’ll tell me there really is a Yurt and Forage magazine.

Blasphemy!

Scientists can not be questioned and are always right! Heathen!

FYI, I am an engineer and a well versed in data analysis...because my job depended on it. Unlike “researchers”, if I got it wrong likes they did, I would have been fired.

What a dumb premise for a study. Tooth decay was major problem for our ancestors 50 years ago, in some places in the US, it’s a major problem NOW.

That stick of gum was brutal to dentist bills

Tell me about it. I've helped my dentist drive around in a luxury car.

One of the few things you can’t skimp on in life is good floss.

A 5-year supply of dental floss should be in every SHTF plan.

[SunkenCiv]

Good ideas, though.

Tooth decay 9000 years ago was not from eating too many fruits. It was from eating meat and not flossing and trying to crush bones to get at the marrow. Monkeys eat mostly fruits and don’t seem to lose many teeth. I grew up in India, and wild monkeys were ubiquitous. I still remember the alpha male monkey baring his teeth at me, and they looked sparkling white and no teeth missing.

I knew it... They needed Crest and Listerine...

[DannyTN]

No, they found a prehistoric hockey team.

[Trillian]

Boy do I remember those!
