Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning?

The way I'm used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.

Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn't make sense for me.

Who the fuck eats acid for breakfast?

Orange juice is a pretty common breakfast drink.

Or did you mean acid of the lysergic variety? That won't damage your teeth, though you'll have an interesting work day

Food is generally acidic, basic food would taste bitter and awful.

May I intoduce you to the Swedish delicacy lutfisk?

Popularly known for being one of the most horrible things, haha. Even the Swedes don't like it, they just keep it around as a prank to play on foreigners and need strong alcohol as a chaser to get it down...

I think you're thinking about surströmming.

We eat lutfisk at the end of our traditional Christmas feast to counteract... I think you call it heartburn or acid reflux in English.

It tastes quite bland if you ask me.

that Hunter S. Thompson guy i guess.. most of his friends..
