Interesting (to me anyway) phenomena.

Has anyone else noticed that, in the last 30 years or so, the tooth brush has been reinvented at least 50 times? Flexible handle. Bristles that are rounded, different lengths, or colored to show wear so you'll know when to replace them. Diamond shaped head. A bent handle, like a dental instrument. A stationary head with rotating bristles. And on and on. I know it's a ploy to sell brushes, but it annoys me. I mean, a tooth brush is just some bristles on a stick. My preference, as a practical, no nonsense guy (for the most part...), is a straight handled, rectangular headed, flat bristled brush - which, of course, I can't even find anymore.
I'll keep you updated.
