The new law will affect all kinds of things Coloradans buy and use every day, that are made using something called per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

    Sorry, dental floss has forever chemicals in it? What the literal fuck…

    Also, suck it dentists, turns out me never remembering to floss was a good thing.

          Waxed string always seemed to work fine for me…

            It depends on crowding. I can’t fit string between certain teeth. Waterpik is king, but I use Glide when I’m out of the house.
