I saw these toothbrushes the other day, sold by Poundland. Yes, that does say 'FLOURIDE'. And the spelling is repeated on every single instance on the packaging - and even on the toothbrushes themselves (see photos).
What's odd is that even with the right spelling, 'Fluoride toothbrushes' doesn't really mean much either. It's not as if the bristles are impregnated with sodium fluoride or something similar: they're just normal cheap toothbrushes.
All I can think is that since the word 'Fluoride' is associated in many people's minds with healthy teeth, someone at Poundland's supplier thought it would be a good 'hook' for the toothbrush line. But is the misspelling deliberate, or accidental? Given some of the other spelling on the back of the packet, it is probably accidental.
Although - it's interesting to see "Certified Quality and Management System ISO 9001" marked on the packet, which must refer to Poundland and not the product itself. But how many shoppers know this when they see a toothbrush with the words "Certified Quality" on it?
This is a toothbrush rug in progress. It's being constructed from old sheets torn into 2" strips. My goal is to make this rug 36" across - I'm currently at 16"
Includes Flash Light Toothbrush that Blinks with 2 minute timer (auto-off ). Beautiful multi- coloured toothbrush adds joy to brushing and the ergonomically designed handle gives easy grip to the little hands. It has premium soft Tynex Dupont Bristles. The brush has inbuilt non- replaceable battery (Life-3 Months) and is waterproof and shockproof.
This is a double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. I use the SB-800 off camera to get enough light. The post processing was straightening and cropping. Because the zoom lens uses a 67mm filter size and the 50mm uses a 52mm filter size, the close end of the zoom range means the vignetting and black ring that you can see even in this cropped version. (At the far end of the zoom there are no problems with vignetting, as you can see in some of my unedited double lens macro shots.)
You can see the 50mm shot of the electric toothbrush I used here.
This is something that has been in my mind for a while and well, I am not in the mood to go out and shoot pictures today, so... perfect oportunity to do it!
I know its a little bit old and I should get a new one, yes, hehe.

After a discussion escalated in the office about sharing a toothbrush with your significant other Celeste and I polled a bunch of people and the results were quite shocking.
"Poll: Is sharing a tooth brush with the Ms/Mr - Gross, or totally ok? The office is split 50/50. We need your help!"
VIA Facebook, Twitter, and within the office 57 people replied and
NO - 45% (26 people)
YES - 55% (31 people)
There were a lot of people saying once is okay, or in a pinch, or after mouthwash it would be okay... but all these are people who would do it, not people who think it's GROSS.
Personally? I think it's super gross.
I took this picture really quick when I got home by rinsing my toothbrush and holding it out as far as I could and bouncing light around in my bathroom... I'm not the biggest fan of the angle and lighting and such, but it works. :/
Strobist info: SB-900 on camera in commander mode fired off at 1/4 power and bounced off the wall to the left. SB-900 in the bathtub behind the toothbrush fired off at 1/2 power towards the ceiling. Triggered via Nikon CLS.

I am kind of obsessed with the color scheme of my toothbrush. Orange is my favorite color and especially this shade of orange. I never would have thought to pair it with dark silver until I saw this toothbrush.
Also, this is my first attempt at doing a French tips manicure. I used hole-punch reinforcements to do the tips.
The dark silver color is LA Colors Color Craze in Tropical Storm
The orange is Revlon in Mad About Mango
Ever since I can remember, I've had this cup for brushing my teeth. As I was cleaning it the other day, it occured to me that I may not have a picture of it. It's travelled with me across the world (well, at least across a couple of continents) for about three decades now, I figured it deserved a portrait or two.;-)
I've rarely had a matching yellow toothbrush though so that's a funny coincidence.
This is #66 in my Project 365 series.
One last test of my Koni Omega Rapid 6x7 medium format rangefinder, before I take it out with a paying client tomorrow. I wanted to make sure there were no light leaks, and that flash sync was working, focus was working etc.
Nikon SB-28 mounted on one of the cold shoes on the "Koni", sync cable to trigger, duct tape to insulate the contacts on the 'foot' of the flash, so it would actually fire. F/4 and a relatively slow shutter speed to capture a little ambient, but not much. Flash is aimed camera right, for bounce flash. Flash is set to 'auto'. Very expired Konica ISO 160 film, which is fitting since this camera was manufactured by Konica.
