How long until someone gets their toilet cleaner confused with their toothbrush?

:smile: These guys kill me! Now why didn't I think of selling toothbrushes as bathroom cleaners?

After all those years of wondering where the term 'potty mouth' came from... :rolleyes:
 
WOW...yeah just wait...I'm sure there's someone out there stupid enough to mix the two up.
 
My aunt once brushed her teeth with her husband's shaving cream. It came in a tube, she grabbed it, put it on her toothbrush, it definitely woke her up. :biggrin:
 
Hmmm... I wonder if anyone has ever grabbed the Ben Gay instead of the Preparation H...

Yeeesh, either one of those in the mouth would be fun. :smile:
 
Actually, I have a habit of buying many different colors of toothbrushes for this very reason. I have always used toothbrushes for cleaning in cracks and crevices, but yeah, you don't want to get confused which is which, so buying them in different colors avoids this mistake (or just storing them in different places).
 
I've accidentally put soap on my toothbrush, but that's about it. I'm not coming anywhere near a sonic brush that's been on my toilet!

Well, shoot - if it cleans my teeth as well it does the bathroom tile then all the better. :biggrin:

I've used teethbrushes to clean my boots. And sometimes I use teethpicks as utensils.
 
The thing I personally love about these ads is the fact when they show someone using the toothbrush. All of the colors have been faded to grey, the toothbrush is old, the person is upset. All of it is completely unrealistic. My personal favorite though, is the Magic Bullet. Has anyone seen the Magic Bullet ads one tv as well? It's just hillarious.

Sort of like the knife commercials where they hand someone a "typical" knife, and they proceed to squash an over-ripe tomato with their hand as they try to push through it with the knife, and then the person using the brand being sold ever so gently saws through a probably much less ripe tomato with the greatest of ease. :smile: Use the same technique and same quality tomato with both knives and there wouldn't be any difference.

:smile: Yep...in ONE...TWO...THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...seconds, you have... Those are the longest three seconds I've ever seen anyone count. :smile: I always laugh at the weird lady in the 1950s glasses and housecoat with the unlit cigarette hanging from her mouth that they have as one of the characters in that infomercial. It makes me wonder what demographic they're targeting with that ad. :smile:

HAHA YES! They do 1/4 second then 1/2 second then the last second makes up for all of them! I mean no offense to anyone who Is English, but why are the people who run these infomercials always English?!

The Sonic Blade is an excelant example of the one where they squash the sandwish. They rock the knife back and forth and flatten the sandwich! Also I love how the people who are watching in the Magic Bullet are complete idiots and are amazed that the guy just crushed ice!

At least it usually picks up enough shoe polish not to be confused with a teeth toothbrush.

I notice I tend to accumulate toothbrushes in my toolbox ... plus sometimes leave them laying out where ever I used them. And, then, of course, some helpful individual puts them back where they 'belong'. Never use a toothbrush in my house unless you're absolutely sure it's yours. Otherwise, you never know what it's going to taste like.
