Made of silk.
Hot air balloons seem almost magical as they float in the air. People love to watch them, and those who ride in them describe their flight as a “peak” experience. Did you know that at the time of their invention hot air balloons were usually made of silk? Floss was initially made of silk too. Who made the first "Dental Floss"? In the early 1800s, a pioneering dentist, Levi Spear Parmly, urged patients to clean between their teeth with silk thread — a revolutionary technique that protects the gum line and prevents tooth decay. Silk thread came in unwieldy spools and had to be cut into lengths with a knife. In the 1870s, Asahel Shurtleff helped to civilise floss when he patented the first dispenser: a bobbin of thread with a U-shaped prong sticking out of its side. Recent studies, meanwhile, have revealed that flossing might be one of the simplest ways to ward off tooth decay. Please do not forget to floss and if you can use biodegradable made of natural silk.
