The Giant Toothbrush Necessity

February 5, 2008 5:44 AM

I need a seriously gigantic novelty toothbrush.

Need giant toothbrush. Long story. 5-6 feet long preferable. Around $50 preferable. I've googled my pants off (oops) to no avail. Any ideas?

I don't know where you would buy one, but you could always approach a major toothpaste/toothbrush manufacturer (colgate, macleans, braun, etc) and ask if they have that kind of thing that they use for promo? They'd probably be happy to give it to you if it had their brand on it. I recall seeing a giant inflatable toothbrush being used at a sporting event by some promo people giving out samples, so it's worth a shot.

Of course it's $200 and sold out, but other than that it should be perfect.

Buy a long-handled floor-cleaning brush, take the head off, use a couple of screws to fix the head parallel to the handle at one end, then paint all the wood in a primary colour.

Or attach the head to a painted 2x4 for proper handle thickness....
