The VIOLight: UV Rays Violate your Toothbrush

When I heard of this over on another gadget site, I was curious as into how a fancy toothbrush holder could stop my herpes. Wait, did I just type that? (The VIOLight doesn’t kill herpes, just 99.9% of the other germs running rampant in your disgusting mouth.) So, happily I accepted the boxes from FedEx and opened up both their Toothbrush Holder unit and their Travel Unit, which is essentially a tanning bed for your single toothbrush. With the holder, you set it up by inserting the trays, twisting the bulb into place and just plugging the unit in, when you depress the blue button on the front - the light flickers onto a soft blue light. Within moments, you’re happily nuking the brushes you stick in your mouth and that much closer to your own personal obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If you think about it, you flush your toilet usually less than a foot away from where you brush your teeth. Read this, taken from a study on remote toilet flushing; “A recent study (NYU) found that the average toilet can project fecal spray some twenty feet. Because of this spray, people can get coated with a fine mist containing a variety of contagions–especially children who like to watch toilets flush.”. See that? Do you see that? A fine mist of poop all up in your business, including your toothbrush’s business.

So, for around fifty dollars you can buy something that zaps the hell out of those viruses and contagions that threaten to turn us all into flesh-eating zombies and chase down Mila Jovovich with our mouths hanging open. Man, why didn’t they hire ME for their ad campaign? We could’ve had a winner.
