6 electric toothbrushes? Christ I thought he just stole the entire aisle. Six toothbrushes = $1300? It'd be more cost effective to just buy a cheap vibrator and tape a regular toothbrush to it.

...wait, would that actually work?

No, it's really painful.

Wait, work for what?

To brush your teeth.

It occurred to me I should have clarified that one.

Unlikely, as one is usually a diffused vibration as opposed to a direct one. You could maybe use an electric toothbrush as a vibrator, but you wouldn't get the positive effects of an electric toothbrush on your teeth by just attaching one to a regular brush.

Yeah, toothbrushes can get expensive. I’ve got a $200 toothbrush myself.

I admit the electric toothbrushes are pretty good. I had one that worked really well before it died and I really need to get a new one.

Makes more sense to steal those than filling a giant sack full of regular toothbrushes. Even if the image is hilarious.

I’m hoping mine lasts a while. I think mine is going on 4 years now maybe. My teeth thank me for it though, my wallet on the other hand…

Mine connects to my phone to track my brushing, also tells me when to change the brush head, I love it

That functionality failed for me after like a month or two. Doesn’t even show up in Bluetooth anymore. Kinda gimmicky so it didn’t bother me that much.
