Colgate Uses Toothbrush-Shaped Popsicle Sticks to Remind Consumers to Brush

20090213-goodmorning.jpg

In lieu of giving out mini toothpastes at annual events like "Oral Health Month," Colgate is dispensing the actual sources of plaque: ice cream and cotton candy. But the sticks meant for holding each sweet aren't average sticks. Shaped like toothbrushes, they reveal dental hygiene messages like "Don't forget." It's like having a dentist live inside your food! It'd be a lot weirder, though probably more convenient, if there was an actual toothbrush buried underneath.

"You could brush your teeth with milkshakes!"
"Hey, did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too?"

I can't be the only one who thinks this looks...er...almost not safe for work.

I suppose "suggestive" is the appropriate word here. That's likely not a coincidence.
