To chew.

In a sentence:
If Geoffrey would learn how to masticate, we wouldn’t have to keep giving him the Heimlich.

In a different sentence:
I don’t mean to complain, but these mashed potatoes are harder to masticate than taffy.

In a 3rd grade joke:
Q: Who’s the greatest masticator in all of Star Wars?
A: Chew-bacca! … Get it?

Oddball fact:
In addition to downing shopping carts, a wooden coffin, and bicycles, the astounding Frenchmen Michel Lotito once masticated and (swallowed!) an entire Cessna 150 airplane. In fact, it won him a Guinness Book World Record.
