Mnemonic

Stop! That box of rice is actually full of teeth! I know it says "rice" on the cover, but I promise you those are all teeth and if you bite into them you'll break a tooth of your own.

Hints

Stop what you're doing and look into the rice box. Nope, it's definitely full of teeth. There's a grain or two of rice, but it's like 98% teeth.
