Dr Heberts' Favourite Product of the Year


The Toothbrush.


As with the book, every few years somebody tries to put the toothbrush out of business. Years ago we got the electric toothbrush, then the Water Pic, and now this latest push for disposable electric toothbrushes. Even floss has failed to keep pace. The manual toothbrush is a classic: Inexpensive, portable, requires no batteries ever, and works in any location from the back seat of the car to the airplane bathroom at 30,000 feet.

And the great thing about the toothbrush is that, once you have worn it out, it's great for putting polish on your shoes. (Try doing that with a Water Pik.) No batteries, good for your health, and 100 percent recyclable. In other words, the perfectly green product."
