Also, a person who doesn't feel ashamed handing anybody a damp bill from a soggy wallet.

This product is still stupid as gently caress and no court would convict the people who beat you up for using it.

I can't think of a single benefit this would provide over just carrying around a regular koozie and a regular wallet.

We had all the best engineering minds to create this new toothbrush/juicer/tortilla maker for a modern age. We couldn't figure how to do it without some sort of consumable subscription item. Only our special batteries/toothpaste/chopped veggies fit into our one of a kind design, built to the highest standards.

I still can't figure out who could possibly need or want that automatic tooth-brushing rig. Maybe it would be useful for people with disabilities that limit their manual dexterity? But that Kickstarter is so focused on BRUSHING YOUR TEETH IS HARD AND TEDIOUS when it's, what, maybe ten minutes a day? I can't imagine any time savings would make up for having to wrangle with that goddamn orthodontic rig and proprietary toothpaste pods, even if it did an amazing job and was in business long enough that I could reliably keep buying replacement pods instead of the company inevitably dying within three months of Kickstarter delivery, if Kickstarter delivery happens at all.

As much as I hate to admit it, you can't clean your teeth with that thing. It'd be nice, I know. You have to brush and floss and so on. Sorry.

Truga posted:I mean, it's neither, but it's a waste of perfectly good 5 minutes I'd have otherwise. I dunno. I mean... brushing my teeth isn't like the high point of my day, but it's a pretty inoffensive few minutes in the morning and a few minutes at night. Yes, technically I could spend those minutes shitposting, but who cares? I know half of Kickstarter these days is about trying to convince the Internet that some basic daily task is what's standing between you and ultimate self-actualization, but Christ, just do basic dental hygiene. It's not hard, it doesn't take long, just goddamn do it. I somehow have less sympathy for the market for this thing than I do the people who can't figure out how to make tortillas without a proprietary pod thing, and that's a low-rear end bar.

It's pretty easy to brush your teeth incorrectly without noticing, but that only seems like it'd compound the problem, rather than solving it.
