Twist & Brush Mashes-Up Toothbrush, Toothpaste

Shane McGlaun — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:20:11 +0000

My kids don’t understand moderation at all. When they go brush their teeth for instance, they glob the stuff on there so when they brush chunks of paste fly everywhere and they look like Old Yeller before he had to be put down. A new concept toothbrush, which sounds pretty odd to say, has surfaced that has a very snazzy way to put the right amount onto the brush.

This thing would make an awesome travel brush, assuming it comes with something to keep the head covered from the suitcase goo that floats around in my bag. The brush has what appears to be a syringe inside with marks in cc’s. To dispense the toothpaste you twist the bottom and the plunger is moved up squirting the paste out directly onto the bristles, using precisely as much as you want.

It holds 3.4-ounces of the paste, which will get you by the touchy-feely TSA folks without having to throw it away. The concept is called the Twist & Brush and comes from Spanish designers Awamura-ganjavian. The coolest part is that you can buy another tube of your toothpaste and refill the dispenser rather than having to toss it out and buy a completely new brush.

Bioshock 2 Eve Hypodermic Syringe: Sterilize Before Using

While most everyone I know has been heading off to get a flu shot, I’d personally rather get injected with a dose of Bioshock’s EVE serum instead of a supposedly dead H1N1 virus grown in chicken eggs.

This Bioshock 2 EVE syringe is an exact replica of the nasty looking hypodermic implement found throughout the game. Not only does it look just like the decrepit genetic serum injector, but it glows an eerie blue when the lights go down. Extra-special-creepy there. Nice touch.

You too can get your hands on the EVE hypodermic prop over at UK retailer Play.com for £13.99 (appx. $23 USD). It’s not shipping until January 2010, just in time for the February release of the much-anticipated sequel.

Hooray for Plasmid power!

Syringe USB Drive for All the Medgeeks in the House

Whatever your particular (or peculiar) pleasure, there’s a novelty USB drive to fit your freaks. Robots, jewelry, supply dispensers, waterproof submarines (what?)… and those are some of the more normal notions for USB drives out there. This one? Is shaped like a syringe. Why? Why not?

Brando, kings of the odd gadgets and weird flash drives, recently listed this syringe-shaped drive at a price of $29.00 for 8GB. It’s nice to see that flash drives are becoming both so cheap and so ubiquitous that they’re getting more and more ridiculous every day. In fact, this one is pretty name in the hands of anyone who is not a recovering addict.

Syringes not your thing, but you need storage? It’s likely you can find something to tickle your fancy at Brando, though I bet the syringe makes for a great conversation starter, especially if you’re sharing data with others.
