So glad to have a sentient piece of cheese in a top hat teaching me how to brush my teeth.

[@mlsaulnier]

Now I have a hankering for a hunk of cheese

[@LUCKO2022]

I wish I would have taken this message more to heart. My teeth are a mess. I admit it, I drank too much pop and didn't brush enough when I was younger. Now my mouth is mostly fillings.

[@crunchypickles99]

Me too 😖

[@rayfrench1971]

i still use that saying today. "remember,...you're the only you you've got." now i know where i got it from. #childhoodmemories i used to love all of these PSA's.

[@dj-flights7376]

I'd guarantee the cheese council had to promise to throw in some health PSAs for kids along with their little "hanker for a hunk of cheese" songs. Hence the cheese guy teaching us how to brush our teeth.

OMG !! Can't we just remember the nostalgia.. Instead of being so critical? 😊

[@vashietru1848]

NOPE!

[@megarigged]

He literally gives an objectively bad technique for brushing teeth

[@86forever]

@@megarigged It's a cartoon!!! who cares.... i've never run into one gen-x /boomer who talks negatively about these ads "Oh my teeth are horrible cause as a child I listened to a 30 sec cartoon talk about brushing teeth" 🤣

[@megarigged]

@@86forever Maybe it's just me, but I think PSAs should be good and correct, not bad and incorrect.

Brush brush bree, brush brush a broo!

[@Floymin]

How times have changed. Back then they didn't know that up-and-down brushing actually pushed food into your gums.

[@eleanorhogan8643]

Is that true?

[@realDonald-trump]

And you're not supposed to rinse your mouth out after brushing

[@danrobinson572]

Awesome 👏

[@georgeshelton6281]

This episode was definitely well-known to me. I tell myself this: why not you turn to listening and watching something that's educational for you, not what corrupts your mind.

[@JonwithnoH0823]

“I just smoked a whole bunch of crack!”

[@bugsjunior3338]

I get the point

[@markplott4820]

How come he only cleans the lower teeth, and completely forgets the upper teeth.

[@jetblack1211]

Not you get implants and/or false teeth then you do not need to worry about brushing them.

[@Fl8yd_Johnson]

What about accumulated bacteria you get from the bits of food that get stuck in your teeth when you finish eating
