A Megaton Smile.
My parent's got me the Braun electric toothbrush for Christmas. I swear I could use this thing to strip furniture. I feel like I'm brushing my teeth with an orbital sander. And all this time I thought I was getting my teeth clean with my Oral B. I'll be flossing with piano wire and rinsing with minty-fresh Clorox next.
Look, I love my new toothbrush. Honest. My teeth have never felt better. And I'm not opposed to technological advances for the benefit of good oral hygiene. But don't you think that all this teeth whitening that has become so popular is getting a little damn ridiculous? I appreciate a big bright smile as much as the next guy, but should your teeth actually GLOW? Some of the people on TV have teeth so white I swear they could light up a black hole. Their teeth don't look clean. They look radioactive. What's next? New Crest Extra Whitening with Fluoride AND Uranium.

So where do I get some of this new Crest?

Your mom must have talked with my mom. She got me a powered toothbrush for Christmas, too.

Um. When I wrote "she" I meant my mom, not your mom. Damn.

I have a regular toothbrush and regular toothpaste. My father in law is a dentist and I don't want to hear about how I'm wasting my money on things that either a) don't work or b) waste your money. LOL

I WANT my teeth to glow in the dark, so I can find my keys when I stumble home at 3 in the morning.

Sounds like that episode of "Friends" when Ross overwhitened his teeth until they glowed in the dark. Scary stuff, for sure.

I hear Halliburton's got a Web sale going on Depleted Uranium Dentures. Get 'em while they're hot (duck).

Haha. I do realize this crazed thing about whiting... and glowing teeth. Hmm... I should ask those T.V. people to actually try to light up a black hole... I do believe they'd do it well.

i had an electric toothbrush once that could double as a vibrator it was so strong. i don't think that's good for your gums and i think that dental floss, as it were, is a farse - created my marketing executives to make dentists promote their product for decreased cost in their offices. but i'm a cynic. so don't you listen to me.
..nutty rant over...
