Pondering on the Ordinary....

As I was procrastinating studying for my chemistry test today...I stumbled across this headline:

"FDA Warns of Toothbrushes that Mess Up Your Face"

Immediately I was intrigued. I mean...with a title like that, who wouldn't be? I envisioned the simple act of cleansing your teeth turning into a chaotic toothbrush explosion resulting in massive facial reconstruction. (Overactive imagination taking control again...)  I had to ensure that my toothbrush wasn't in danger of messing my face up.


Much to my relief...I found that the debate was over electronic spinbrushes. The kind that powerfully whisk away bacteria clear down to the gums. They can result in chipped teeth, gum damage, eye injury (who knows how that even happens)...and as the article states...they "generally wreak havoc on with face."

Good thing I'm more of a manual tooth-brusher.


No havoc wreaking here.
