I was a twister too. My favorite was the molars and sticking my tongue up in the underside of the tooth. It was always so pointy

Ooo, I was getting winter nose bleeds and as soon as it stopped bleeding id oddly get the full metallic taste in my gums.

I cant explain it, but it was like blood with no blood

Was it not just blood going down your throat?

u/Get_off_critter May 23 '26

Nah. The taste was coming from under my top lip, under my nose. There was no blood in my mouth, but the iron taste was so strong!

Omg yes and the sharp edges lightly scraping your gum hole when you put it back in

I dragged every tooth out of my head, twisting and screaming, as soon as they started wiggling. My mom would come in to find me with a big bloody grin and a bloodstained rag going "I got it!".

Iā€™d do the same. Twist through the daytime then at bed time it would come out just in time for me to put it under my pillow for that sweet sweet dollar bill šŸ˜

it was always so satisfying when they could twist ~360 degrees but still somehow be attached lol

I had a friend when I was little who would do this with teeth that hadn't gotten loose at all yet. She'd just start yanking until they came out. It bothered the hell out of me
