My toes
are among the few joints that I can't consciously crack. I can pick things up with them though (eg, pens, tv remotes etc when I can't be arsed to bend down) Trufact.

If you're good enough to pick stuff up with them
maybe you'll no longer have the need to bend down?

It only really works
for things smaller than the gap between the big toe and the next toe, otherwise you can't grip. So for instance, if I were to drop a satsuma, I would still have to exert myself and bend down because I'm not that much of a gap-toed freak.

But at least you can pick up small objects.
The larger ones are easier to grab when bending over and reaching.
