denta-rhythmic toothbrush




The Denta-Rhythmic toothbrush was designed for the Krups Company, which held a competition for personal hygiene products of the future.

I invented a toothbrush with a drum-beat machine in it (there were no MP3 players yet). The beat could be adjusted to match any background music that the user was listening to at the time.

Radio ads were to play the Denta-Rhythmic Rap:

Brushing my teeth used to be sure a bore
Put my paste through its paces in ten seconds, never more
But then I got the word from my dental hygienist
If you don't brush three minutes, gingivitis is a menace!

Well what she said made sense to me
But three minutes sounded like eternity!

So I got my Denta-Rhythmic and set the beat
to the background track of my MTV
Three minutes flew by like a thunderclap
And now my teeth are grateful for the Denta-Rhythmic rap!
