If you are eating metal spikes, you are having a bad time.

Now talk about how much better it is to eat plastic and aluminum. 🖕🖕🖕

this

Well now I must prove you wrong

@gork is this true

yeh

RE the folks pointing out the other ways to clean a grill: There are indeed many ways to clean a grill and any way that does not result in someone getting stabbed in the throat or sent the ER could likely work just fine.

>clean a grill lol no

Getting tiny steel filaments lodged in your esophagus builds character.

While aluminum and plastic build obituaries

Right? I don't want that stuff in my food either. Back in the 70's I was concerned with my mom serving us baked potatoes in foil that had been pierced after being wrapped. I studiously removed those bits & a good bit surrounding it. My mom rolled her eyes at me. Also, don't grill anyway. Vegetarian.

I can make you a vegan grilled loaded street corn that would send you to the next plane of existence.

Sounds wonderful! I could do with another plane. This one's getting tiresome.

No

Veggies grill up great! Veg-kabobs!

Grilled veg and grilled feta cheese man also you can clean a grill with used up lemons. You have to do it while it's still warm but it works.

Just easier to use a pan indoors in the a/c. Easier to wash up too. And no propane or charcoal.

Or an air fryer.. they are amazing

Meh not the same. Barbeque is a feeling. It kinda feels like "if I am going to all this trouble it better be a fun fucking day" indoor cooking feels like "just another fucking day"

True but as no one else around here appreciates the trouble it takes, I've stopped bothering myself to take the trouble. Enjoy your yummies.

Sometimes parks rent pavilions with their grills for cheap. Easy to use, you can have a gathering, plus easy to clean up.

Screw them, do it for you. You deserve it.

This is why I like wood pellet grills. No propane. No charcoal, just pellets that last for several rounds of cooking as long as the hopper’s a decent size. Temp self-regulates, machine self-ignites, etc. the cleanup is the only difficult part, but the wood smoke flavor is 🤤

Sounds like a winner. I'll suggest it to hubby who's gone to the dark side and wants to cook the flesh of animals again.

That's no fun.

bad memories ? 🤣

Yup I’ve had a piece of wire in my steak twice at a restaurant

I can work within those limitations, will report back!

Only if you’re a lil bitch

this is literally one of the deaths in the latest Final Destination Bloodlines except even worse, because someone broke a glass into a tub of ice by mistake.

But I like the texture

Just found out these guys have a Bluesky account. Not gonna lie they were the hardest thing about quitting Twitter

I know some sword-eaters who would beg to differ, but you definitely shouldn't be eating metal spikes unintentionally

you are having a bad time

Yea you'll lose all of your gold rings

These deep insights are why I follow you, USCPSC 🩷 (That and your dope, helpful graphics!)

But my iron count is low and the doctor said irn bru is not sufficient!

That doctor is clearly inept!

but I was eating the metal spikes to stab the microplastics so I could eat a couple rare earth magnets to cleanse myself.

Sad that this needs to be said

I am shocked they let you publish this.

you're not my dad

You've obviously not had metal spikes the way I cook them

I switched to pumice stone to clean my grill. A bit of extra scrubbing, but not metal bits

I use this wooden oar called a "great scrape" works great

Don’t go cleaning off all that flavor!

Sharp Cheddar is (generally) ok!

So this admin is worried about grill bristles at the same time gutting meat and milk inspectors? 🤔🤦

You're supposed to clean your grill?

I used a wood paddle. Hot grill burns wood so there are grooves. Best yet.

that is why I just wipe the grate on the grass

Where's the fun in that? FYI, after using a metal brush, get a pair of tongs, some paper towel & oil. Place the folded paper towel in the tongs & soak the paper towel with the oil & clean the grill again. This coats the surface with oil, making the meat stick less & cleans up any metal bits.

Because ingesting plastic and aluminum are so much healthier.. please to be fucking off with your bullshit

Ah yes very easy to see plastic or insanely easy to see aluminum vs small metal spike that have lodged themselves into people's esophagus... hmm Of course the best course of action in either case is wiping the damn thing after cleaning but still this was silly

I hope you don’t get a metal piece stabbing your throat then, since you wanna still use it. Many people died that way.

Be gone, lil bot. You have no idea WTF you’re talking about

bsky.app/profile/zeni... Is a serious matter uwu

I’m not a bot, I’m a human, and I know I’m talking about the topic of this thread which is wire brushes uwu

Use loosely balled up aluminum foil on a hot grill (with tongs, obv) or get a wooden grill spatula and wear it in on a hot grill. Don't forget to season your hot surfaces so that foods stick less often.

Do you season like you do a cast iron pan? I’m newly single and bought myself a grill (which I need to clean!).

Cheapest small bottle of vegetable oil you can find and a clean brush (or new if it's been used on non-foodstuffs like paint) then apply liberally. I give it ~30-60m to soak in then fire up the grill to moderate temps, apply a 2nd coat if you're not in a hurry, otherwise, cool & repeat when sticky.

So, to answer your question directly: Not exactly like a cast iron skillet but almost. Grills sit outside, stuff happens, don't fret too much because fire cleans pretty well too :)

its just like 1984

Who ever cleans the grill? That's where the flavour is!

Soooo.....you're basically taking the razor blades in candy fearmongering bullshit and making it about burgers? $50 says most of the Midwest actually starts doing this!!!!!

Or use a half of a big onion and season it the same time.

This. Cook off particles with high heat, and rub onion to clear the rest. Particularly stuck on particles I have had good luck using half a lemon.

Sorry. You’re the trump administration. You can no longer be trusted.

Thank you, U.S. Consumer, for giving me something else to think about instead of fuckface

Really!? Are Americans really this dumb? Like, really? 🤦‍♂️😂

Ah! So, this is one of those hazards that before it is dubbed an "American problem" we would recommend checking to see how many of these kinds of injuries happen abroad assuming there is an agency tracking these kinds of injuries.

I suppose, and it could be the fact the weather here in Scotland is so poor at the best of times, that we don’t get many chances to BBQ ⛈️😆

10 minute countdown until JFK Jr. puts out a video of himself eating a burger with metal spikes: "the extra iron is good for your health". If only...

You can’t tell me what to do! (Proceeds to voraciously devour a grill brush, wire side first)

Or...and stay with me on this...learn what "clean" means...

If THIS administration is telling me not to eat metal spikes, I'm adding them to my diet. Can't trust anything they say.

This is from an agency the administration is actively trying to gut, this one's still good.

“But, the flavor of one hundred different meals is in those spikes!” -Al Bundy, probably.

Literally just happened to a friend: metal wire ended up stuck in her throat, coughing up blood. Super-scary.

It’s 41 Fahrenheit out there, not exactly grill weather, but the point is taken… or avoided, I guess.

Yum, more minerals.

I’ve got a bamboo tool that works well.

or #bevegan, all problems solved, how about that? simple, easy, #crueltyfree & healthy alternative

Never grilled a vegetable?

The grill daddy does in fact do a GRATE job in case you were wondering

Or just avoid grilling because the process of charring food can produce carcinogens. Why take healthy food & ruin it?

I don’t know why this is even still on the market. After that child had the barb stuck in this throat they should’ve pulled them off the shelves.

I do not clean my grill but will take this under advisement

The more I’m on this app the more I can’t differentiate truth and satire. Somebody (maybe many somebodies) somewhere see this a delicate vegan dish and I wouldn’t be surprised. As a matter of fact, I expect it.🤪

Actually, if you're not allergic to either of those, here's a better option: use onion or lemon half-slices, half-wrapped in the foil - those have additional ingredients that will work out the fat and oil that's charred on the grill! (sodium hydroxide is also an option if you can find food-safe)

for the lemon and onion, the trick works because both foods carry food-safe acids.

I thought perhaps the goal on a Memorial Day weekend was to remember those who gave their lives supporting and defending the Constitution in accordance with the Oaths each swore and fully understood.

thinking you may not want to bring attention to the fact that you actually help people. that seems to be a criterion for getting DOGEd.

Only if they point out how often teslas burst into flames. Or starlink satellites fall out of orbit. Or percentage of space X rockets that explode.

i was happy to sell my model 3 last fall. good car, bad ceo.

enjoy your job before you get DOGEd.

How does @theonion.com differentiate itself from our actual government?

...could anybody confirm that in the 90's, Aprilia (Italian manufacturer of motorcycles) had a warning in the owners manual "contains no edible parts"?

Good advice 👍

They haven't cut your funding yet? Jesus do your best to hold out

I have twice at a restaurant had a piece of wire in my steak It’s because the barbecue grill they’re using they’re using a wire brush on Please get a coconut brush or a non-wire brush for the grill

Surprised there’s anyone left in this department! Yay!

My kid had a really irritated throat after a bbq and I had seen a post from a nurse about this so I asked the doctor to check and they laughed and said this was not a thing. In his case it was not but the ignorance surprised me

Smh. Sorry to hear that. It's absolutely a thing. It's not the most common injury, so it's possible most Drs may never see a patient that has this happen, but it happens enough that it's worth checking for if the circumstances are right.

Doctor warns about grill brushes after 4-yr-old accidentally swallows wire youtu.be/QH0zjFpxr8A?...

No junk food for me and soda drinks, good Australia fresh food

You're supposed to clean your grill!?!?

oh, that's your answer for everything.

Whoah, I thought you guys were just a legend.

As someone who doesn't grill or own a grill at all, I was so confused as to why we'd be eating metal spikes and had to have this explained to me 😭

Y’all are still funded? I’m pleased but shocked.

Yes, but sending out common sense posts no one asked for is MUCH cheaper than actually inspecting stuff.

Wow. To think you actually have to tell this to people.

THIS is what you’re focusing on? What an f’ing joke.

You can literally die from internal bleeding resulting from these spikes. You are the joke here.

Read an article not long ago but can’t find it now. An MD started bleeding internally, spent time in hospital, other docs couldn’t figure it out. Discharged, came back again even worse within days. Nearly died before they finally checked his intestine and found a wire lodged. Scary stuff.

Might be this story which I can’t read now because paywall. 🙄

Manged to read with the read mode on Firefox. Fascinating. Although I'm asking myself what happened to the wire when he underwent MRI. Isn't it risky?

Good question. Grill brush wire is apparently magnetic due to the process used to create it. The choice between MRI or continuing to suffer was perhaps not a difficult one?

I found a video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMtu...

uscpsc would you also recommend a reusable plank of maple to scrape off the leftover bits on the grille?

Why do we keep selling these anyway this is like Jarts and asbestos in evening gowns.

source for the curious thebeverlyadams.com/asbestos-in-...

Thanks for sharing the article. It reminded me that when I was 10, on the late 1950s, I was trying to make cookies on my own in our gas oven while my mom was still asleep. I forgot to take out the pot holders we stored in the broiler section, and a fire started! Yikes! I woke my mom, who put it… ⬇️

⬇️ …out. But I was puzzled as to why the outside of the potholders was charred but they hadn't burned up. She explained that they had asbestos inside. Putting asbestos in everything was perfectly normal back then. One house I lived in had asbestos floor tiles. Fortunately I didn't decide to remodel!

Thanks for posting this. I sell vintage clothing and I had no idea.

Good grief! Trying to save the planet and we still get shafted,!

😫 I know

Many small heaters in old houses contained asbestos. Tiles for fireplace surrounds also contained asbestos. Honestly, many buildings built in the early- to late-middle twentieth century are likely full of asbestos and renovation requires special knowledge and handling to remediate.

48 is entirely too young! I’m so sorry about your dad.

Thank you. Regulations (safety, etc) can be very good things that save lives.

That’s really interesting (and not entirely unsurprising). My father was a boilermaker (think industrial welder, in part) and many of his work clothes likely contained asbestos because of the necessity of fire retardant properties for workers in that environment.

The chemical plants and refineries where he worked had a LOT of other sources of environmental exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately he died just after he was finally given the go-ahead to undergo testing for mesothelioma. He died when he was only 48

The Trump administration is trying to eliminate the consumer product safety commission, so maybe asbestos clothing will make a comeback. Hot.

We stopped using that wretched thing last year!

Counterpoint: if I don't eat metal spikes how are we gonna have a memorial for next year's memorial day?

oh, so you want me to have an iron deficiency?

thank you safety First

38 cases in 10 years Epidemic...

I think they would have benefited from updating their glasses prescription and then avoiding leaving metal bits on their grill.

THE ONION FTW!!!

What⁉️⁉️ No warnings to not deep fry frozen turkeys⁉️⁉️😳😣😖😫

With Trump‘s new education of American Society, and the deletion of the Department of Education. We will be needing such US Consumer Product updates for society often!

If you're a real alpha male, you know that as a toothbrush. Republicans are so soft these days.

Question: Why has the CPSC not managed to get theses things pulled from the market?

That's a great question that requires a longer explanation and discussion than what we have time to go into today, but our Consumer Ombudsman could absolutely go into it. Their contact info is here, and they respond whichever way is more convenient for you: www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/C...

Sounds like the answer is "we aren't going to do anything"

Imagine they try to do something in the current environment. Boom,everyone is fired. Better to tell people and fly under the radar until the people change the administration.

A fair point! Every dedicated federal employee has to get creative doing their jobs while avoiding purges—except DoD and contractors, they are having even more wheelbarrows of money delivered.

Meat is murder

I haven’t cleaned my grill in 3 years. Anyone feel like giving me a tip? Can I use oven cleaner and warm it up a bit then use a brush? It’s really dirty below the grill/racks. My bad, I know.

You can use oven cleaner, no need to heat it up. Let it sit on the grill for 10 minutes to an hrs then wipe off. JUST DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN THE OVEN CLEANER OFF AFTER WITH SOAP AND WATER!!!

Oh, bless you! I will soak the grill bits in the utility dino and work on the metal tent thingies. Everything is gross!

Use an onion

Somebody start cleaning Trump’s grill soon ….

No. Instead: Use your grill more than 1 day a year. After using, put it on high, close it, wait until smoke stops. Before using, put it on high, close it. Let it get hot. Wait for any smoke to stop. Oil the grill with a rag and tongs if needed. Now cook. Simple.

Metal spikes are a leftist hoax.

Oh come on, what stupid American hasn't eaten a bit of metal.

Goldschläger shots, all around!

Here comes big government telling me what I can't do again. Next you'll say I can't use my grandpa's lead grill anymore because it's "dangerous"

I stopped having anything toasted at a local deli when I saw them using an old damaged metal brush to clean the toaster machine.

This reminds me of a TikTok I saw a couple of years ago where a kid got a grill brush bristle stuck in his throat and was in a lot of pain for a while before the doctors took an X-ray and figured out what was going on

bless y'alls heart

Just came here to say nylon can be sharp too, but it will never rust over time, so aluminum foil does seem like a better option.

those are probably iron. much safer than plastic (NYLON!) or aluminum... this is an idiocracy level post

I have had a piece of wire in my steak twice It’s not a stupid post If you swallow that wire it goes into your throat

i didn't say it was stupid. i said it was idiocracy level. if there's wire pieces on the grill, IT IS NOT CLEAN. "a poor craftsman blames his tools"

It was at a restaurant They throw steaks on the grill

How is this a thing? If the grill is clean there aren't spikes on it, if there are spikes on it it ain't clean.

Those smallest spikes are tiny. You can't see them with your bare eyes but they can cause massive injuries for your intestines. Apparently. Didn't know but this is what googling told me.

You can't tell me how to eat my metal shavings.

Be consistent … let MAGA idiots eat metal spikes if they want to

This Memorial Day Weekend, the goal is to grill without eating meat. Animal Ag is destroying this entire planet + all life forms once lived in pristine, naturally balanced conditions, joy + freedom, + free will taken from lives, All deserve Nature 's gifts, to live out life spans to natural demise

I’m making a grilled veggie pasta salad for the bbq!

Yay for Mother Earth respect!

❤️ I’m not vegan (yet), but do eat vegan 3 x a week to lighten my carbon footprint. All of my beef, chicken, lamb, fish is responsibly sourced free range organic, as much local as possible! Love learning and experimenting with vegan dishes. So yummy.

Because aluminum is good for your nerves...

Why are they still legal 😔

Good tip. I did not know those were dangerous.

I'm surprised CPSC still hasn't been dismantled by this regime...

That is some bad photoshop work. Oh well, I'm not planning to grill or eat metal spikes. But please add a shadow for that tool, it's visually upsetting.

half an onion works as well.

How does this work? I've seen it recommended before and can't get my head around why it works.

Acidity mixed with heat

Onion works cause it's dense & acidic. When I worked with a flat top griddle way back,we used lemon juice because nothing short of actual aggressive de-greasing chemicals came close to how good it worked overall and without the dangerous fumes. Could probably soak a towel in lemon juice for a grill

When I worked at a burger joint, we'd clean the grill with water. The water on the hot grill would boil, and de-glaze the grill surface. Finish that up with scotch bright pad, and it was good to go.

We'd do the same in a rush if necessary, end of shift was always lemon juice, it went quite a bit farther. I did work at a higher end private restaurant though, so things were a bit more picky than most fast food places I've had experience in.

The acidic liquid in the onion, combined with the hot grill grate, creates steam and helps remove built up material on the grill grate. I think the relative weight/density of an average onion is of some benefit as well.

onions have an array of chemical compounds including sulfuric acid. The acids help break down the organic buildup on the grill. So while a brush is using mechanical abrasion to knock off the organic buildup, an onion will chemically break down bonds, including the bonds to your grill

My buddy is in remediation and is a chemical whiz with cleaning. I followed up with him and he said the onion is really cool because there are multiple chemical reactions happening from the acid and other compounds.

The water in the onion is turned to steam from the heat which helps it permeate the char and increases the rate of reactivity. The acids meanwhile are dissolving some of the simple organic bonds The steam and acids actually cause hydrolysis which breaks down more complex oranges bonds

apparently onions are awesome and I'm never going to hear the end of it. So now you must all suffer in kind.

he called me to talk about cleaning vinegar 😂 I want to blame yall, but I knew this would happen

Hahahaha! That's awesome.

lol I always love hearing from him. Even if it's painfully detailed information about cleaning.

It'll make your grill taste good, too! Win win!

Half a lemon as well esp if used up first.

Either adds flavour to the bars! Lemony meats mmmmm

New fear unlocked

B-B-B-But... Your boss 86'd (86 47, heh) lead poisoning protection for children... or is this notice not up to date with *current* Trump Regime policies? Unlike tariff "policies", detrimental health decisions seem to be set in stone. Nes pas? 🖕 arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Good to see RFK Jr. doesn’t have a hold on the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. He’d be telling us to skip the burgers and just eat the metal spikes.

So after metal brush grill cleaning you could just do a thorough rinsing of the grill with a garden hose. Metal grill brush lives matter!

So that's the bar now, huh

The metal ones are very useful for scraping old wax off barracks floors before repolishing them. First summer of infantry officer training my platoon bought all we could from Canex (post exchange in Canada) and wore them all down to nothing. They worked like a charm! We did not eat off the floor...

No one can afford steaks anymore.

What? You budget hasn’t been slashed yet?

A former coworker had to have surgery to remove small metal pieces of the wire brush he used on his grill. They had to empty all of his intestines and most of his organs on the table to remove the metal pieces.2ft intestines.I have used a nylon brush ever since I saw his scar’s and heard his story 🤯

Thank you for sharing! Hope they made a full recovery!

They… as in pronouns? 😱

A half onion rubbed cut side down against the grill with a good bit of elbow grease can also pull up filaments stuck in grease and char!

But it goes maga well with the maga meat that no longer gets a maga USDA inspection because of maga Republican maga hate and maga greed.

Omg. This reminded me of several episodes of Monter Inside Me. I warn people of this constantly. 🤣

Ive watched enough Monsters Inside Me to know about this.

This is no joke!

I'm a wire bristle in my stomach survivor (summer of 2022). But the doctor did send me home with a cool picture of the inside of my stomach. And I got to eat chocolate ice cream for breakfast in the hospital the following morning. 😋

why are those even still made? they need to be illegal imo

Pry that burger out of my dead cold hands. 😁

And make sure u keep plastics away.

But the metal spikes are so delicious!

I use an abrasive pad and a plastic grill puck

I'm a fan of these wooden ones you work in to get them to be the shape of your grates

We’ve all watched ‘Monsters Inside Me’.

Imagine thinking this is an issue. Maybe buy a normal wire brush that doesn’t shed, and then look at your grill to make sure it’s clean rather than covered in shrapnel after cleaning? Instead you want to melt nylon on the grill? This really is Trump’s dumb America

An onion cut in half cleans a grill. Turn the grill on, cut the onion in half stick a fork in the root and stem ends and rub it where it needs to be cleaned. Works like a charm.

I'm so glad I only do vegetables and don't grill a damn thing outside.

Are the metal spikes okay? Asking for a friend...

can you unban kinder eggs

Awww if you miss em that much, just gargle with a handful of legos

what prompts a real person to write this

What prompts an idiot to want a known choaking hazard back

Unfortunately, the average national educational scores are far too low. You have to be able to trust your population before you can allow them to have nice things. They may consider implementing a program for more intelligent states such as Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. 😆🐣🍫🪀

The version of kinder eggs we have taste way better tho

But people said I need more iron in my diet

Careful, if they see you posting rational advice, you'll get doge'd.

me no likey metal in juicy burger!! 🍔☹️

Al Bundy never cleaned his grill.

So you're saying I can't make my signature razor blade burgies? They have one hell of a bite to them

That’s true. Don’t use those brushes

Aw, but what if I like really want to?

Nanny state strikes again.

Oh I see - there are people who use a wire brush and ingest the broken wires. Argh.

Good advice!

Good idea. We use a wooden grill scraper with a notched edge that goes around the grill

If only there were a government body with the authority to “issu[e] and enforc[e] mandatory [safety] standards”, or maybe even to “ban[] consumer products if no standard would adequately protect the public.” But I guess all we have is social media posts 🤷🏻‍♂️

oh, Oh, OH! don't you little sheep forget that REGULATIONS are COMMUNISM?!???!! Get that thought out of your head right this instant or it's off to El Salvador with you!!!

I heard about this, this is real. ----------------------------------------- A metal brush can leave broken-off bristles. Bristles half an inch long can get on your burger/hot dog/chicken/steak/etc. You swallow one or more bristles. Now they're poking holes in your intestines, etc. This is bad.

What about sharp cheddar?

Only in the US it is necessary to warn people about something that obvious. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ah! We have not ascertained if this is a US-only problem. Check the data from abroad, if it's there!

France here, once I saw a safety ad telling the people not to boil water or cook while holding their baby 🥴

P.S. Don’t choose a free-standing ER if you can’t breath or swallow. We don’t have the resources to adequately help you.

One of my friends is in the hospital now after many surgeries to repair her esophagus. She showed me the tiny metal wire that almost killed her.

I have NEVER had a metal spike from my grill brush in my food.

It's the ones you don't notice, and swallow in a big mouthfull of burger, that are the problem.

Sorry, no information released by this regime’s agencies is credible or valid anymore. I’ll need to hear this from independent, peer reviewed sources. Oh wait, I’m a disabled American! I don’t get to do things like grill, or eat food! I forgot. Gruel only, for me.

So I shouldn’t use a wire brush attachment to my power drill?

Ouch!

Thankfully, with the FDA and the USDA gone, we will have all the metal, glass, plastic and fingers we can eat! Thanks Papaya Pinochet!

why do we allow metal spike brushes to be sold labelled for grill cleaning ?

So you want us to eat microplastics instead?

You get more microplastics out of a bottled drink than this. Hell, big corporations dump more plastic in our water that you consume. Y'all really uptight about the wrong things at the wrong times.

I don't drink bottled water, I drink filtered water that filters out the microplastics out of a stainless steel cup

There's currently no known way to filter microplaatics as far as I've seen

Microplastics are described as any plastic smaller than 5mm. There are good water filters that would stop a piece of plastic .0005mm in size, let alone 5mm

I appreciate this comment.

@thelouvreof.bsky.social

Everyone is already eating microplastics 😮‍💨

That’s why I use my homemade small batch artisanal grill cleaning solution… the kind grandpa used to make back on the farm I use 2 cups DDT with a tablespoon of mercury, a heaping spoonful of lead and grate asbestos into the bowl. Mix it all in a poorly ventilated area, then apply with bare hands

You forgot to add make sure the grill is on when you apply. It won’t work without some heat.

Completely missed that last step: add 4 gallons of gas to a bag of briquettes. Soak overnight in a coffee can, then place under gril and light with a very short match If it works like it used to for grandpa, you will wake up 10 yds away, missing hair and your yard now qualifies as a superfund site

Perhaps the goal should be to not eat meat at all, since animal ag is the 2nd biggest contribution to global heating…

They hurt. Can attest

Well none of my famous razor blade burgers this year, people will be disappointed.

How long until this agency has like 1 person left working for it, starts calling nylon brushes woke, and saying it's patriotic to eat metal spines (to get out recommended daily value of vitamin Pb)

Nylon brushes are for woke liberals Real men get brass bits in their balls from their food, not microplastics #BRASSBRUSHOGCRANKERS

Ive heard that brushes are banned in Canada

Literally 1000% better than the actual HHS …

I just heard that lobbyists for the grill brush industry bought $300 million in $Trump #shitcoin, and now the guy who made this ad is being deported.

Goal is to remember the men and women who died in service to assure our freedom.

Note to self... Thanks for reminding me! Job well done.

Usually when you have a large burger you hold with a knife or skewer. I've never seen anyone use a grill brush for that. 🤨

Kennedy would probably say it helps you get iron

No one trusts the government now. I’m eating the spikes.

Rinsing after washing has always seemed a good idea to me. Even more so after seeing this post.

I think the aluminum foil ball is a better way to clean the grill. But I think this way because my 1968 car gets wee pitting where her exhaust comes out and foil is both kinder and less likely to scratch. Cleaner finish.

But RFKJr told me telepathically the tiny steel wires are good for killing the alien brain worms in my roadkill burger.

Those barely even work that well. I always get frustrated and grab a foil ball anyway. Good idea.

But what if you’re having a very special guest over who has a fondness for such things 🤔 👉🍊💩🍔 asking for a friend… #wholegrillbrush

How fucking stupid do theses guys think the American people are....

Donald Trump is our President…what more evidence do you need???

Yes

Yes sir!

This is so real and scary

The easiest way to clean it is to take the grate after use and put it in the grass and the enzymes will take care of it. Just brush the day after and burn of any rest

And plastic is so much better? 🤣

There’s more options than plastic! You’d rather not get metal pieces piercing your throat and possibly killing you.

uhm.... if the grill is "clean", doesn't that mean free from metal bristles too???

What is this woke nonsense?

Or onion slices 🧅

Fuck you, government entity. You can't take my delicious metal spikes out my burgers! What happened to freedom? I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA.

Thank you 🙏🏻 very much 🥰❤️

What happened to Comissioner Trumka?

I am surprised Trump let you post this. He's not big on looking after US citizen's health and well being.

I've switched to half a potato

ass holes

Not a shill, just a happy customer

Thanks!

Honestly shocked they didn’t DOGE you guys yet. Trying to prevent Americans from getting injured by unsafe products sounds pretty damn woke.

www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

They must have missed the intern running the social media account.

Don't eat the foam cup or plastic sporks, or drink from the gas pump nozzle if you are traveling. Is this the Memorial Day message from the t-dump White House? I'm not on Trufe Social, so I don't see the offal, er, official, White House posts. Do they know you clean your grill when it's hot?

🤦🏻‍♀️yeah I’ve always wanted nylon melting on my grill

I know right. Have they ever grilled anything before.

I’m guessing no🤣

Or you can heat the grill up and push the carbon char off with wood with a U shape cut into it.

That happened to me years ago. One metal piece from the brush in my pork tenderloin went right into my tongue. Ouch. Thank goodness I didn’t swallow it. Tetanus shot followed.

*shudders*

Cult members, do not buy into this conspiracy theory and always remember to inject disinfectant regularly.

Wooden scraper.

This is the way
