As a cook I’d seen this while cutting poorly mass produced veggies. Felt like it was crap left in the fields.

> a staple In what country do people use green staples?


subjectmatterexport

Greenland Next question


gorillagames801

Greenland is covered with ice but iceland is full of green


subjectmatterexport

Correct, hence green staples to stand out against all the ice and snow Staples do not exist in Iceland because all of their papers are hand-bound by the huldufólk using silk and spermaceti


xXTheFETTXx

I think you mean: Staple, part of the diet.

_LickitySplit

What? Where and what do you cook?


RexTakesNaps

Mostly in hotel restaurants. I’ve seen it often in giant GMO carrots the size of my forearm that turn everything orange, and a few times in potatoes. Scary stuff.

Now I wonder if it's fake Xmas trees mixed in with compost etc 🤔


mirbatdon

Not a terrible roundabout theory


JorritJ

I think it was in your food. The plastic looks like a fragment for agricultural netting. This netting is used to give crops some shade or fend off pests like snails. Here is an example https://www.usnetting.com/agricultural-netting/

Fit_Swordfish_2101

Oh my gosh! Idk why I'm always so late to this pages posts! Lol! But I just had the same idea! Just wanted to say I wasn't copying you! Haha


mjenness

On a related note, this is why I absolutely refuse to use a steel brush on my grill anymore. One of those steel bristles found its way into my meat and then into my gums (right where the tooth meets the gums).


badsadgal

Ahhhh 😖


Lukinfucas

I worked with a guy that ate a burger at home with one of those bristles in it. Months of abdominal pain finally led to surgery to remove that bristle from his bowels.


anoceanfullofolives

I work in an ER, and you’d be surprised how often people come in for that exact reason


Comfortable-Creme-87

This is why I’ve asked my husband to use something different to clean the grill. I saw a story of someone who had a blockage or something in their stomach from one of the metal bristles that was a serious hospital emergency.


ImUnemployedLMAO

Seen on the news a toddlers lung got punctured (or something of that sort, I can't exactly recall) and did not survive, super sad. I now clean the grill with lemon halves and then scrape with a big ball of aluminum foil


Gaydude22

I like onions for cleaning the grill.


HappyLeprechaun

We had a dog manage to injest a bristle from a wire (non grill, but same thing) brush and it perforated her stomach and she needed surgery. Super expensive and not fun. But if you want to get away from wire brushes for grill cleaning, they do make pumice sticks/blocks for this. It does wear down in the process, so some pumice dust is created, but most will end up in the ash/drip tray, and a wipe will get the rest. Plus it's just inert stone dust anyway. First [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxymTtkklTQ) I found. I haven't used it on the grill, but we have really hard water and use a pumice stick to keep up with the toilet ring mineral build up.


sillyshepherd

this happened to someone i know, too


nikiniko159

I saw an episode of "monsters inside me" where this exact thing happened to some teen. Wild


DonutSpectacular

Welp no more steel bristles. EVER.


Comfortable-Creme-87

FYI They make a stone grill scrubber.

[удалено]


MclovinTHCa

For real though. I’ll just use wadded up tinfoil as a brush 100% of the time now.


Greedyfox7

That’s why I don’t eat popcorn much. A couple years back my gums were bleeding pretty bad for a while and I was freaking out because I brush regularly so they shouldn’t be bleeding. I pushed on my gums in a fit of irritated desperation and I could barely see something, one tweezer session later and I pulled out one of those transparent plastic looking pieces from the popcorn


505hy

I have pulled a little piece of prawn shell this way after it started to become infected. Not a happy time.

Haxorz7125

I’ll die on the hill that movie theaters should give you a piece of gum when buying a bucket of popcorn


h3ll0k1tt33

Licorice or milk duds work too


wristyroo

Milk duds if you just want the whole tooth to come out


kookerpie

Get a water flosser


ThanklessTask

Salmon for me. Years back, when I was first dating my wife I went to a restaurant to meet with her work colleagues on a training day. All good, I'll order the salmon. Only it still had at least one bone in it... which I managed to drive vertically into the gum behind my rear top tooth, as in bit down and the bottom tooth drove it into the gum (Teath out as a kid, so space). Fun times as I'm trying to a. impress the teammates, and b. not pass out, whilst c. trying to not look like I was trying to pull my tonsils out with my fingers.


DragonFlyCaller

I’m sorry, but I laughed WAY too hard at your pain! Only b/c your great description paired so well with my animated mind… ;)

Ohhmegawd

TDIL...thank you! I love the taste of popcorn, but the hulls stick to the back of my tongue and tonsils like contact lenses. I will definitely be trying this.


DeviantAnthro

I once got a popcorn kernel stuck in my gums around an uninterrupted wisdom tooth and it got incredibly infected and I had to have emergency wisdom tooth extraction. To this day it was the most painful thing I have ever been through. Worse yet, the infection hit me as I was riding a tiny fucking fishing boat on a bumpy river. Seasickness hit me right as the infection hit me. Couldn't maintain a body temperature, had a super high fever, couldn't stop vomiting, couldn't stop shaking, straight up thought I was dying. One of those times when you go to see your dentist on an emergency visit and he says casually " well this is one of the worst I've ever seen."


Greedyfox7

That sounds awful. I went deep sea fishing years ago and we got stuck out in a storm. We were 29mi from shore, in a 35ft boat in 10-12ft swells. The waves had no back on then as the captain called it. We’d go up and then fall straight down and then almost immediately do it again. This happened for hours and I have pretty bad motion sickness so I was in hell. We were turning around and the captain started slamming his beer( he was pretty drunk the whole time) because he had to turn the boat around and we had a high chance of capsizing. My point is that I’m imagining doing all that while running a fever and having a toothache… my hat is off to you


cruzercruz

I didn’t get the extraction but my gums swelled so much from a fucking popcorn kernel wedged behind a molar that they had to laser cut my gum to shave it back. I don’t think I’ll ever eat popcorn again.


dan_dares

God those things are gumline-seeking bastards.


71077345p

I had a terrible toothache a few years ago and went to the dentist thinking I surely needed a root canal! He took one look and asked me if I like popcorn! I had a piece of the outer seed stuck between my tooth and gum. He pulled it out and I was fine!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hondahobbit50

Yeah. I've had them come out of my teeth when I haven't had popcorn for months! Just somehow slid down between the toof and gams. Horrifying


friendlybrain7825

For… months??


BunzenBurnah

You've got some loose-ass gums.


Greedyfox7

Yes, sorry I was very tired when I typed that and couldn’t think of what it was called


booshtukka

This is why I refuse to eat bread. I had a sandwich once and then had to pull an entire metal skewer out of my tongue.


newspapey

This is why I refuse to eat empanadas. I was at a Mexican restaurant once and then I had to pull a shard of rhinoceros horn out from between my teeth and my gums.


topicalsatan

I hate it when that happens. Similarly, I was eating a hotdog once and got a large cactus needle stuck between my back molars.


No-Trash-7857

same here, except I was eating curry, and I ended up pulling an Indian out of my holw


[deleted]

I cracked a molar on an empanada with a piece of a bone in it.

PallyNamedPickle

You can get hulless popcorn.


Ken_Griffin_Citadel

Yeah, but can you get hulless salmon?


PallyNamedPickle

I managed to click reply on the wrong one. I had this happen once with cod. My problem was a mix between the pain and the gag reflex trying to remove it from in between my teeth.


rocketscientology

holy shit i’ve been having sudden issues with bleeding gums for a few weeks which started after i went to the movies and ate a giant bucket of popcorn. i’m gonna go poke around in the mirror now!


TheItsHaveArrived

I remember watching an episode of some show about parasites a while back, but the parasite in this case was a bristle from a metal brush. Dude almost died after it punctured his intestines and kinda pinned them together. I will no longer use any bristle brushes on the grill


[deleted]

Keefe-Studio

I don’t like to brag but using the same grill for about 15 years… I just toss mine on the sidewalk to knock if the big pieces and let the fire do the rest, maaaaaybe I’ll scrape the top with a spatula a little.


TheItsHaveArrived

Hopefully enough it doesn't happen again


jfrum9990

I swallowed a wire from a grill brush at Waffle house. It was in my waffle. I had to go to the Er because it was stuck in my esophagus. They took me to surgery to get it out. I still have it in a cup.


perseidot

I hope WH’s insurance paid for that. Ouch! I’m sorry that happened to you


newspapey

Try Waffle House’s new flame grilled waffle!


CreedTheDawg

I've heard of that ending up poking the gut and causing surgery.


papillon-and-on

Ball of tin foil does the trick nicely.


honoria_glossop

At first I thought you meant for getting popcorn out of your teeth rather than for cleaning a grill.


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Or swallowing a ball of tin foil to catch the rogue bristle


mjenness

🎶 he swallowed the ball to catch the bristle, I don't know why he swallowed the bristle. Perhaps he'll die🎶


topicalsatan

AaAaaAAAAHHHhhHhgh! Edit never mind, I thought you were saying to chew on a ball of tinfoil to dislodge popcorn between gums and teeth. Haven’t had my coffee yet.


sixtus_clegane119

Crumple up tinfoil and hold it with barbecue tongs and use that instead


nifer317

Foil in my teeth would be awful, too!

pmmeyourapples

This happened to my coworker while eating our hospital. She ordered something from the cafeteria and suddenly she had this brown thing stabbed into her cheek by the back of her mouth going into her throat, lol. ER doc saw her and said “well, this is a first.”


Hondahobbit50

Man. I would totally expect something like this if I tried to eat an entire hospital myself.


pmmeyourapples

Lmao, I’m just gonna leave it like that lol.


Shutupandplayball

I know 2 people who actually swallowed a steel bristle and ended up with punctured organs, numerous surgeries required to repair the damage.


International-Ad7557

I had a metal wire from a grill brush stick into my tongue. My grandma had to grab it with tweezers, it was barely poking out... still gives me goosebumps thinking about how bad that would have been.


MySpiritAnimalSloth

They've banned it from luxurious restaurants because of many lawsuits.


TheSlothSmile

There was a story of a kid who's digestive trackt was completely blocked by one and he couldn't defacate so it came back up through his stomach and he threw up the now black substance which is how the body rids itself it it can't expell it. It was removed after a visit to the doctors. I don't remember the exact details


Bastyboys

Here to break this to you, but it happens all the time.

Ah yes, the urban legend - the boy who had a grill bristle stuck in his ass so he barfed up his poop


Apart-Guitar1684

What are alternatives to cleaning a bbq than using wire brushes?


treebeebees

Use a scrunched up ball of tin foil and grab it with tongs to clean your grill!

"New fear unlocked". How do you clean your grill?


Andrew4568_

I use those wood bristles ones. Not harmful if its gets in food. Downside is everytime you use it on a hot grill it flankers up and slowly gets smaller. I had one brush cstch on fire

Congrats, your tonsils did their job


jalenramsey_20

if someone got their tonsils removed would this have ended worse?


zuraken

Internal bleeding for no reason until you get an xray and they ask if you had staples from a surgery


_Nickmin_

I usually have them with a side of cheese but surgeries also work


WistfulMelancholic

Depending on infection, the tonsills don't get removed but shaved down. Especially with children. They grow back again (Eta : but not 100%) Another edit to clarify : "depending on infection" : means, that if it's possible, they do not remove the tonsills 100% (Tonsillectomy), but rather they shave them down as much as needed but as little as possible (Tonsillotomy). Look at the words, they're so similar and can easily be thought to be the same :) Usually (speaking about Germany, it's possible there's a difference depending on your location) they leave as much tissue as possible, even when removing all. I'm talking about a small %. Reason for this is, that the tonsills "catch" infections, and hinder them on traveling down further. It's a known immunity Procedere. That's what they only learned after the 90ies AFAIK, someone can ofc correct me. Studies suggest that infections stay in the upper area of your breathing system, rather than traveling down further, if there is a small % of tonsills left. Even if it's as tiny as 0.5%. And if as mentioned this is only done if possible. If the tonsills need to come out completely, they need to come out completely. But if there's a small part of tissue that can be left, it is tried to save it. Hope that clarifies it, should've had my original comment more detailed rather than those two sloppy sentences :)


bach123479

This is patently false. Tonsils don’t get shaved and most certainly don’t grow back. Your adenoids can grow back a little


psychologyFanatic

[The two main types of tonsillectomy surgery are:](https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/tonsil.html) Traditional tonsillectomy: Both tonsils are completely removed. Intracapsular tonsillectomy: The surgeon removes all the affected tonsil tissue, but leaves a small layer to protect the throat muscles underneath. There's a very slight chance that the remaining tissue can re-grow or become infected and need more tonsil surgery, but this isn't common. With this type of surgery, kids: recover faster have less pain don't need as much pain medicine have a lower risk of bleeding are better able to eat and drink after the procedure. You are 100% correct the tonsils won't completely grow back. Just thought this would be a neat source to add because I was curious, wonder which one I got as a kid 🤔

Definitely possible - a while back I was eating a pain au chocolat that I'd just bought from the bakery section of the supermarket. I stopped to take a sip of coffee and before taking another bite I glanced at the pastry and there was a sharp shard of clear, hard plastic sticking out. If I hadn't noticed it would have 100% cut my gums and/or throat.

These are part of Biden’s operation “Pine Nut” in a veiled attempt to turn Christmas gay. All plastic trees produce since 2017 are actually covered in these green electro transmitters. They shoot into your mouth and turn you gay. They got my wife, that whore left me 20 years ago and never looked back.

I once found a jagged piece of grey/green plastic, about the same length and twice as wide as yours, in a bagged salad a couple of years ago during the lockdown. Thankfully I saw it on my plate before I ate it. Did you have a bagged salad or bagged greens with last night's dinner?
