Oct 15 2007Brush & Rinse Toothbrush Redirects Water
The Brush & Rinse toothbrush, designed by Scott Amron, redirects water from a faucet to your lips for easy rinsing. The back of the head is shaped to direct water "into a fluid parabola as perfect as the St. Louis Arch." They cost $3, or you can get 1 of 27 original working prototypes for a paltry $1,750. I had a college professor a few years back that really could have used one of these. The whole brushing thing was just too much of a hassle for her. Maybe this would have made it easier. She'd get up in your face if you asked a question and nearly knock you out with her breath. It was always like she'd just finished eating a bag of shit.

Wow, I saw this really cool gadget that does sorta the same thing. It's called a cup, and you can use it to hold water which can then be directed to your mouth.

So sam, who's done your research on this?

I drink out of a still-moist bear skull. People who cup their hands are pansies-- people who use cups are the most un-manly people on earth.
Why do so many people mock things just because they're convenient? Horses do just fine. Who needs to fly anywhere? Trains will get you there but you won't have to be all flashy about it.
On the site there is a $3 price listed, but if you try to buy one, you can only buy a prototype. It's a great trick.

This is actually a good idea, think about all the time you spend rinsing the cup you used and the time you spend filling the cup, then multiply that by about 700 and you've got the amount of time you could save with this thing. Sure it seems silly enough, but I bet some of the things we take for granted today were equally silly ideas when they first were suggested

Actually the Gateway Arch in St. Louis is based on a hyperbolic curve, not a parabolic curve.
Does that mean the toothbrush isn't perfect at all?
