Touch N Brush: As Seen on TV

Have you seen the commercials for the revolutionary Touch N Brush? I thought this deserved its own blog post because like most 'As Seen on TV' products, I find it hilarious. It's a toothpaste tube holder that mounts to your wall and dispenses toothpaste, using a "secret vacuum force". Amazing.
Apparently, squeezing toothpaste from a tube is sooo hard that we need to buy a large wall unit to hang on our bathroom mirror. You can even get one with an 'elegant' chrome finish. This will also eliminate 'losing toothpaste tube caps'. Really? How many caps have you ever lost?? Where are you losing them? Have you just looked in the sink?

In the commercial, they show people who are super frustrated with trying to get toothpaste out of the tube. Honestly, I have been brushing my teeth for 31 years and have never had that much frustration with my toothpaste. Come on, guys, if you're having a hard time getting the very last drop of toothpaste out then it's simply time to buy a new tube. They also show people who shoot toothpaste all over the room trying to get it out of the tube. Has this ever happened to you? I'd like to hear your story.

I think what makes this so funny to me is that every family member has to stick their toothbrush up against the button to push the toothpaste out..... which means you're all swapping slobber. You might as well just all share one toothbrush.
Dear Santa.... you know what to get me now!! :)

Uh...I totally have one of those, and it rocks! I was just so tired of the daily struggle of getting my toothpaste out of the tube. I mean, could they make it any harder? My hands just don't have enough strength to squeeze the tube the way you're supposed to! And most of the time, when I finally was able to get some out, it squirted all over the bathroom and I had to spend HOURS cleaning it up. This invention has saved my life...literally.

Wait...what?

What is America coming to? I now live in a country where people can't even afford a tub of toothpaste to brush their teeth and there is an invention to now make it easier? This is sooo stupid! I totally agree with you Amber!

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...
