Flew with a guy who did this, including the Emory board. This was after he ate his lunch and then flossed his teeth. Dude was awful to fly with. He had longer hair that had bleached highlights. Enough said I believe.

Perfect segue to the toothpick guy. There are lots of them.
After food, out comes the pick, and the guy is mining for nuggets for 5 or 10 minutes. That's bad enough, but then comes the "oral fixation" stage, where the same toothpick becomes a wobbling distraction while he sucks, gnaws, and fiddles with and on it for hours, like a bad 1950's movie hood.
I really don't want to see a wobbling piece of wood hanging on your lip every time you talk. May as well stick a big piece of broccoli between your front teeth.

From: B-737NG preferably in first class with a glass of champagne and caviar
Tobacco chewers. One of my favorites. Jump seating transcon once, and the styrofoam spittoon the skipper was depositing his excess into, spilled on the floor of the cockpit. That was pleasant.
He was more concerned about a replacement rather than the mess. Can't remember if he asked his stick buddy to help with the clean up.
