I want to give up brushing my teeth and all that complicated jazz and know that humans use to chew twigs long before. So, I want to chew twigs now. Are there any specific tree, the twig of which I should be chewing? Or can I just take a stroll down to my backyard and pick out any on boot off my devolution into an untermensch?

Not sure where you live, but Yellow and Sweet Birch both have a kind of wintergreen/minty smell in the oil in the twigs. As far as I know, they aren't poisonous to chew on, so if you have them growing around you, might as well try it out.

Oil of wintergreen is poisonous, I saw it on Cold Case.

Holy fuck:eek:. I doubt there would be 30 ml of the oil in a twig, but you should probably disregard my first post.

Why can't you just brush your teeth? Twice a day, five minutes or less.

It's not about being lazy, it's about being a hippy.

Well if you're that inclined to do this, then at least use a fluoride supplement and / or an alcohol-free mouthwash.

We have toothpaste and toothbrushes because we're not savages any more. If twigs were in any way better than modern dental technology, we'd chew twigs. Enjoy your fucked-up teeth.
