"People who smoke cigarettes, they say:

“You don’t know how hard it is to quit smoking.”

Yes, I do. It’s as hard as it is to start flossing." - Mitch Hedberg

    I will second this, I could never bother with the effort that is required to do wire floss correctly but I got a waterpik and I was able to do it regularly. I’m now to the point that I can use the highest pressure level without causing any gum bleeding so it’s still strengthens your gums because 10 is nasty (on the countertop model)

      I use the 10 setting to clean limescale off my sink. I’m pretty sure it could strip latex paint if you tried.
