Notas del episodio
Your bathroom is home to something that has been with us for just a few hundred years, but without it, our health would be so much poorer.
The toothbrush has become part of our daily routine, but it’s roots go way beyond what lives in your bathroom cabinet today.
This episode takes in its beginnings as a natural tool, through to Napoleon (again), President Jefferson and how a riot in the UK led to the first commercial toothbrush going on sale.
Host, Ben Diamant; a Creative Innovator and inventor of consumer goods, finds out:
· What led to the bristles and handle coming together
· Why World War Two played a big part in us brushing twice a day
· Who was behind the first toothbrush as we know it
· Where our assumption that before the toothbrush we all had bad teeth came from
