Husband just bit into his pumpkin pie, went “mmmmmm”, looked at me, and said “did you know that pumpkin pie was George Washington’s favorite pie?”
And I was like “uhh no”
And he said “yeah. Because he had wooden teeth”
Then I asked, “are you lying?”
And he said “yeah”
Washington’s real busted grill
Ewww that’s really it?
Yep… George Washington’s false teeth were not made of wood, as commonly believed. Instead, they were crafted from a combination of materials including human teeth, elephant and hippopotamus ivory, cow and horse teeth, lead, gold, brass, and steel springs.
We used to be a great country 😂
Honestly, wood would have been better than horse teeth 😂
1000%
I’m sure, he still kind of whistled when he talked no matter what his teeth were made of
Dude was landed gentry and the first president. This was like the best of the best grill of that time in the colonies.
Yeah what the hell did like the peasants do? Just gum everything? I also wonder if you tried to chew with your gums long enough, if they would callous to the point where they’re hard enough to act as teeth 🤔
