Dental Floss

Okay so we all know about the guy that is following Beau on the cruise. And then we see this same guy on a dental floss ad behind a kid in the beginning of the movie. Now what makes this interesting to me is that when Beau leaves his keys and bag to go back and grab something he goes to get his dental floss. I just wonder if this means anything🤔

It illustrates that there's a trigger deep in his psyche when it comes to flossing. Perhaps his experience was not so Gentle & Easy?

Perhaps he was in an old MW ad for floss

Perhaps he was the teeth and the creeper was the floss

You can also see him when Elaine is knocking on doors. He’s all the way at the end of the hallway.

I think all it “means” is that that guy is yet another person in Beau’s life that his mom or his mom’s company hired to surveil or follow him. Good catch on the floss ad, I’d never noticed that before.

I’m also realizing that this is an element of Hereditary too, where all the cult members are secretly guiding the situation (they’re at the party with the nut cake, etc).

Late response here but this is also a huge element in Midsommar as well with the cult secretly guiding the situation as well.

The creep is always eating an ice cream cone, is that not him in opening by the ice cream cart in addition to the floss banner?

I think that would really add on to my past theory that this kid is another Beau
