TOUCH 'N BRUSH: Infomercial Review

TOUCH 'N BRUSH: Infomercial Review

Did you ever hear a parent's child scream in a restaurant or grocery store and want to either go yell at the kid to SHUT UP! I had one of those moments watching the new commercial for Touch 'n Brush, a product you hang on the wall that dispenses toothpaste neatly, quickly and efficiently. Only it wasn't just the kids I wanted to scream at (bad as they were), but the adults too.

Look, these people deserve to have that mess in the bathroom that the announcer says Touch 'n Brush fixes. They just aren't even trying. That first person who squirts toothpaste all over the sink just shoots it out of the tube, without even aiming for the brush. The third one seemed to be aiming across the room.

And then we have a picture of some kid leaving her toothbrush on the sink, with the bristles touching the sink. Would someone call child services already? Who knows what kind of germs that girl will be inserting in her mouth now!

And then we see a person who tries to put toothpaste on her brush without even holding the brush itself. Not advisable, and more proof that this whole family needs a good dose of common sense.

Finally, toward the end of the commercial I finally think I figured out who the mother of the kids is. It's this woman who is brushing her teeth with the sonic toothbrush who seems for all the world like she's in a trance. She has this half-convincing smile on her face like you'd expect from a cult member. And as she brushes her teeth, she blinks about 3 times in a minute. Definitely a trance and definitely why the kids are allowed to create this kind of bathroom mess.
