So apparently my girlfriend thinks it’s weird my family keeps a knife in the toilet. You know, just in case it doesn’t flush down. I thought everybody did this.

I brush my teeth in bed and swallow the toothpaste at the end. According to the chemical fact sheet swallowing my toothpaste is well within osha defined limits for sodium flouride, and people who live in places with naturally more fluoridated water than where I am are exposed for far more than I am. so I really don’t think there is any health concern. I have been doing it for a decade now and I have no symptoms of over exposure. I find it greatly helps me fall asleep if I don’t have to get out of bed to brush.

For anyone curious, toothpaste has 1,000 to 1,500 ppm fluoride and tap water typically has ~1 ppm or less. Assuming OP swallowed a pea sized quantity of toothpaste (which is the reccommended amount for brushing) the amount of fluoride in that toothpaste would be about equivalent to drinking a cup of tap water.

Get out of bed to brush? Why not just brush before you even get to bed?

It skips a trip to the bathroom, no more “Oh, I forgot to brush teeth when already in bed”. Weirdly enough I think it makes sense and is convenient but I personally won’t do it because of the swallowing part.

I like a cup of tea (nothing caffienated) / hotchocolate before bed.

Eat fries first, main dish later, always. Good reason though: usually the main dish holds heat much longer than fries do, and it probably won’t get as gross as fries do.

Cold fries are tasteless and soggy. A warm burger is still good.

That’s compelling logic.

Not strange at all. Everyone knows you eat the fries in the car on the way home.

I eat in the same order but because I like to eat my favourite bit last.

If I have a roast dinner I’ll eat veg - potatoes - meat.
