The photo above is my old toothbrush, and my new toothbrush. Two different brands bought at two different prices at two different stores. One was Target, the other was Walgreens. I think. Whatever. All those stores are basically the same (except Wal-Mart, which is ruled by the Dark Lord of Malaise, who smites all who enter.)
Nevertheless, it had to happen - the moment of cosmic convergence when all things old become new and vice versa. And here it is - two diametrical designs - even the fancy "sensor bristle" pattern alternates!
One can't help but wonder - if one is the opposite of the other, which one is better?
"Ouch!"
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"It's this toothbrush! The last one worked so well, but this new one just removed a molar!"
(wife examines both toothbrushes)
"Well, here's the problem. This one is designed completely WRONG!"
"Why...those SCOUNDRELS! I'm calling Oprah!"
'Wish I kept the packaging - comparing ad copy would have been amusing.
In the meantime, I've been eyeing a model that really seems to be pushing the design envelope further - at last, someone FINALLY added micropulsing bristles and combined it with a Split-Head™ design (sheesh, took long enough!).
PS - Sonicare toothbrushes are supposed to be awesome and I'll prolly get one. But in the meantime, I'm sticking with the advice of my 3 Dentist friends - "Just brush."
