Would you rather go all day with a pebble in your shoe or a popcorn kernel stuck between your teeth?

I think I would go with pebble... in hopes that I could skootch it over to the side where I wouldn't be walking on it.

Ugh I guess I'd go with the popcorn kernel. Based on the assumption that no, Matt, you can't!

Oh, this one sux, lol. I guess I'd take the popcorn, because while it's annoying, I've often struggled with getting one out, but anything in my shoes is an INSTANT issue of "IT MUST GO, NOW!"

Yes, as long as the kernel was in the back teeth. If it was in the front teeth, and visible, I would take the pebble.

Popcorn as it will likely do far less damage.

I dont want anything stuck between my teeth so I will go with the pebble.

I used to have a pair of flip flops that the soles were perfect for picking up pebbles.

Two icky things, but that's the point, I suppose.
If I had to, I'd rather deal with the pebble. I think I'd find it less distracting than the popcorn kernal.

Pebble in my shoe, I'd just move it to an area where it doesn't bother me so much if had to keep it in my shoe.
 
I've read about this kind of thing at the checkout counter. That's where I met this tiny ad:
