I came across a survey question today … and was asked if I’d purchased a (brand name removed to protect the innocent from the asinine) Facebook connect toothbrush recently. I did an internet search. This, apparently, is a real thing.

Not actual size, or an actual toothbrush
I, of course replied in the negative. Only losers connect their toothbrushes to Facebook these days. The absolute latest thing is used Q-tip Facebook/Twitter/Instargam connectivity.
I can track the quality and quantity of my earwax, (and get custom designed ‘tips-n-trix’β’ to help me control any unusually heavy flow) Β I can compare it to my social media friends earwax, have recommendations for earwax conditioners relayed directly to my Q-tips, as I’m using them via their bluetooth connectivity, and receive celebrity endorsements of the latest earwax technology right in my ears, all at no extra cost when I signed up for the ‘special, one-time-only, exclusive offer.
And I can rest easy, sure in the knowledge that my earwax, and indeed the entire Q-tip, is used in land reclamation projects in the South Seas to offset the effects of climate change.
I feel so good that my ethical everyday choices are making a difference in the world.

Actual Q-tips, probably
Note: No earwax was hurt during the making of this post. The Q-tips … fulfilled their destiny.
I can see connecting your toothbrush to wifi (so you can find it), but FB isn’t necessary. If you saw the commercial Amazon ran during the Superbowl (a lot of ifs), there was a list of products that didn’t work out, and one was a toothbrush – connected to Alexa. It didn’t work if the user closed his mouth around the brush. Ditto FB.

He didn’t bite the cord. Or it was battery-operated (don’t remember).

Does this have anything to do with the fact that I no longer have a working link between WP and FB?

I’m guessing that neither FB nor WP are into sharing toothbrushes, so that might indeed be your problem. π

Ah that explains so much about the fact my kettle tried to swipe right on my tablet and got burned. Apparently I have an intelligent appliance which is great as the user is borderline moron.
