They call it “The first floss you’ll want to use.” Packaged in a $20 refillable metal (or plastic, for $10 less) container, Quip’s floss is meant to encourage a daily flossing habit - which, it’s worth noting, some experts say may not even be necessary. (I tested their toothbrush, along with five others from start-ups, this summer.) Now they’re trying the same thing with floss. Quip is the direct-to-consumer company that introduced the idea of subscription electric-toothbrush heads in 2015. But Quip thinks they can make it even easier. It’s easy and basic, as flossing should be. My not-exactly-religious-but-good-enough flossing routine has involved Oral-B Glide, a straightforward floss that’s almost always in stock at CVS. And I have been, mostly - at least enough to avoid additional cavities.

But it also forces me to be creative to use up these delicious beauts. As one person, I can live off of the produce for like a WEEK. On the Sunday night of the week that you're scheduled for a delivery, you log in and add stuff to cart until you reach the $40 minimum. Spaghetti squash or Roma tomatoes may have a few spots on them (hence the savings with imperfect-looking stuff) but they always taste as good as the flawless stuff you’d find in a store.
