It's an absolute bugger to get out, often involving a finger to work it free?

I don't recall that ever happening with any other foodstuff.

Strawberries. The little seeds get stuck wedged between my teeth, or wedged into the top of molars; where I've either got to poke at them with my tongue and finger for a few hours, or dig them out with a dental pick.
