What to do with dental floss...

Today my mum was complaining about the new dental floss: 'it's so rough..' blah blah. So she switched back to the old brand, leaving the new dental floss only like 1/10 used, I bet. It has 90 m of dental floss. It's in my pocket right now as I type... I'm considering keeping it in my bag...

Here is that not-so-good dental floss, picture from the website, not mine.

As I am not a usually wasteful person, I decided to google for 'what to do with dental floss'. And I gathered all the information from different websites all HERE. Below, I meant.

Before I start the list- first thing to use the floss for is to FLOSS YOUR TEETH!

1. Use it to cut soft foods, like tofu, jelly, or soft but 'fragile' fruits (eg mango), cakes, cheese, hard-boiled eggs....
Quote from Readers Digest:
Use dental floss to cut cakes, especially delicate and sticky ones that tend to adhere to a knife. Just hold a length of floss over the cake and them slice away, moving it slightly side to side as you cut through the cake. You can also use dental floss to cut small blocks of cheese cleanly.

2. Use it as to sew buttons and other stuff that pops out. It's much stronger than thread.

3. Rescue old photos. If you have a couple of old photos, gently slide a piece between them and separate them without any damage

4. It's extra-strong for hanging things, like your wind chimes or small photo frames. Use it instead of string or thread. They're not too obvious either.

5. Remove cookies, pastries or cakes off a baking tray. Just slide them underneath the baked delicacy and separate it from the tray.

6. Tie stuff up. Hair included, if you have no other option.

7. Emergency shoelace. Personally I'm not sure if it will work, but if things are desperate, you have to try.

8. Create a healthy dog toy, if you have a dog. Tie the floss up in a longish shape similar to a bone, and let your dog chew it. It will help clean your dog's teeth.

So there you go. Until the next post, Ning...
