When eating cherries, what do you do with the pits? You don’t want to
swallow them, but spitting them out one by one is inconvenient. The
answer: use your upper lip.
Eat the cherry as normal, separating the pit with your teeth and
tongue as usual, but once the pit is free use your tongue to tuck it
up under your upper lip. Once it’s there, it will stay safely out of
the way while you chew and swallow the rest of the cherry. You can
repeat this several times; depending on your mouth geometry you can
probably hold six to ten pits.
Asking around and looking online, it seems a lot of people don’t know
you can do this? I think this is because the pits are not especially
visible, and the only clue someone is doing this is that they’re
needing to remove pits much less often.
