Switch to the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]

Here’s another true or false:
Curling is a sport where weightlifters see who can curl the heaviest weights
So is it true or false? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
The answer is … FALSE!
[BUZZER]
Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>>RACHEL: -but don’t brush too hard
Curls ARE an exercise you can do with at the gym with heavy weights but CURLING isn’t a weightlifting sport. CURLING is a sport played on ice. There’s something called a “STONE” that the players -- called curlers -- push down the ice into a big circle to score a point.
