My dad once felt a sneeze coming while brushing teeth. He tried to suppress it and closed his mouth, resulting in a mouthful of minty toothpaste pressure-washing his nose.
He didn’t recommend this experience at all, besides the burning agony that lasted quite a while, crumbs of dry toothpaste kept falling out of his nose for like a week sporadically.

It would have cost you nothing not to post this

True, and likewise, the same for you to ignore it.

If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.

Or press the tip of your tongue very firmly against the roof of your mouth. Helps me mitigate sneezes

Tangentially related, press your tongue as flat as possible against the roof of you mouth to speed up recovery from brain freeze.

Sneezing with a mouthful of anything is the worst. Even if you try to mitigate the damage by covering your mouth, it just blasts out everywhere.
