what is that game about
like, how do you win
The other person gets bit
I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.
In the original, you pulled them out, but parents probably got sick of losing the teeth.
Edit: This concept is demonstrated in this historical document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aEpGsH0a8
I thought this was a guy trying to cut a toothbrush in half.
This is a live action adaptation of that one episode of Monogatari series (if you know, you know)
😠
But why? don't they have many sets of teeth when growing up?
I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there...
Exactly and crocodiles keep growing teeth so they actually did evolve a defense against the dentist…
This particular one is clearly not ornery.
The dentist or the reptile?
