Alternative

Mnemonic

Your mouth is like an escalator you use to suck and inhale things into your body.

Hints

If you're ever having trouble remembering how to suck or inhale, just picture an actual escalator that leads into your mouth. That'll definitely help.

Mnemonic

Use this mouth ability to suck cucumbers (きゅう) into your mouth. Cucumbers are shaped like cylinders so you can suck them into your mouth like this. Just as nature intended.

Hints

You can inhale a cucumber too, I suppose, but don't tell anyone I told you to.
