Very mediocre product. Does a mediocre job at bruising and has to be thrown out after one (maybe 2) use(s.) Also very very convieniant. I have a few in my desk at work :)
@SHWOO ever been stranded for a week in a building with lots of food and only 1 of these things? Neither have I, but I suspect that whoever this does happen to would want them to work multiple times.
@saodell also worse is if they're made out of toxic number seven plastic as printed on the bag. so that you rubbing bad plastic with plasticizers , BPA or whatever all over your mouth
@conandlibrarian Yes. I got some (and by that I mean a ton of it) at Woot a long while back. It expired before I could use half of it :( That's what I get for buying like 10 boxes of it. Alcohol may have been involved.
@heartbleed Will they work for cleaning under fingernails? They look a little bit like surgeons nylon fingernail scrubbers. Which I usually much more expensive. I will get them for the purpose if they were not made out of a toxic plastic. Anyone know exactly what kind of plastic it's made of.?
@heartbleed I still use some I bought from Woot that expired years ago. I don't think this is a product where that's really very important. Of course, I'm not swallowing the toothpaste. It's such a small amount I doubt that matters much anyways, though.
@tallrob they do. The plastic starts to fall apart after the expiration date in a collision. I have a friend that is certified to install car seats. He has seen the safety videos preformed by the car seat manufacturers. It's safer to just follow the expiration date on the car seats! :)
@tallrob Yes baby car seats have safty expirations. A car seat sitting in hot and cold weather. Along with the suns uv light breaks down the plastic over time causing it to be brittle. The weakest point of most car seats are going to be the plastic bits where the metal seat belt holders lock in. When those fail kids are no longer held in place. This is also very much true for car accidents. the plastic and metal can be fatigued from the impact and not offer protection. When in doubt toss it out.
I was just in a car accident with my 19 month old. Saw first hand the damage that a car seat can take once and why you want to toss the seat.
@kadagan Yes we are fine aside from some seatbelt bruising, airbag burns and whiplash. The car and the car seat did their job and sacrificed themselves for my family.
These things are great and super handy to have around. I keep a bunch at work and always have a few in my car. Also stick a pack in my carry on when flying.
I kind of want to buy this since it seems like it's a good deal, but it fails my acid test of impulse meh purchases, since it's over half the Amazon price...
@pepsiwine That type of vegetarian (particularly a large segment of vegans) generally irritates other vegetarians as well. Source: I'm a vegetarian who can't stand hearing about others' vegetarianism and why everyone else should be vegetarians too.
@eyewerks Individuals are entitled to make informed decisions based on their personal and cultural beliefs. In this instance, the likely use of a porcine ingredient presents potential religious concerns. I doubt that many people will avoid this product "for Christ's sake," but for adherent Jews, Muslims and Hindus, "spit the crap out after use" probably isn't a viable solution.
@Rowsdower All these limitations for religious people! (And vegetarians!) Damn! Religious people wouldn't stand a chance in a zombie apocalypse. Looks like the rule-abiding folks on Team God would be the first to go, and the rest of us heathens would win the apocalypse. (So to speak.) lol
@Rowsdower The fact of the matter is that "the observant" are not making "informed decisions". They're acting mindlessly, out of habit. Most all religious dietary laws are based on antiquated health concerns. There was a time when keeping Kosher kept Jews healthy. These days they could visit a Chinese restaurant and go apeshit on all the pork and shrimp they could afford without compromising their health (unless, of course, the shrimp were farmed in the sewage plants of Vietman and China). Smiling in your general direction.
@one_two3456 It's good to see that at least one of Meh's newest customers has a sense of humor. I had written a reply to your "OMG, what did I just do?" comment, but I was on a train on the way home from the Clapton concert and I lost the connection when I went to post it. Bummer. You probably would have chuckled.
@Mehrocco_Mole Aww man, you're in the South?! Yeah you're screwed. But at least you have access to good seafood (at least until the zompocalypse hits and turns all the fish to WalkerBait).
I WAS on a shrimp boat once off the coast of Louisiana with some Cajuns. Brought back some real fresh shrimp.
@eyewerks And I WILL take you up on your offer of wild boar. Sounds delicious. As long as you LITERALLY meant you would roast up some tasty wild boar and that wasn't, like, some euphemism for your penis that I missed or something. Its late, and sometimes I'm slow to pick up on people's sarcastic penis euphemisms.
@pepsiwine Not really screwed as I'm on Team God. Seafood: Joe Patti's Seafood is here in Pensacola so we do get fresh, never frozen, caught the same day, seafood. And I hunt boar too. They are considered a nuisance down here. No sarcastic penis euphemism intended. Not sure why anyone would want to seeing as boar penises are a bit on the small side.
@eyewerks On the topic of religious dietary customs, you're preaching to the choir (hehe). I'm addressing the matter of why some people would care about the inclusion of gelatin, not why they should. I don't belong to a religion, but I'm mindful of the fact that others do.
@cengland0 how dare the USA waste pork on gelatin. There are people that absolutely love Scrapple. I am not one of them. But I wonder if Irk is. That may make a great ask irk question.... But I digress. There are so many other uses for other parts of the pig.... there was a saying about Lancaster county PA. They eat every part of the pig except the oink.
@pepsiwine Seriously, Pepsi? If Michelle Trachtenberg had been anywhere near my vicinity do you really think I would have been screwing around on my phone trying to post shit to this Meh discussion thread? Sheesh. You must think I'm either retarded or neutered.
@eyewerks Good point. Michelle Trachtenberg is super hot. But maybe you were held down by an Italian Fred Armisen. :) Seriously, though, Michelle's a great actress; don't know why I don't see her in more things.
@tsigley are they seriously too heavy to carry back out? You would rather add toxins to the environment by burning them? Please don't do that, they are nearly weightless
@KevinTJ nice try Mr. Dentist. We're on to you, we'll let the fuckers rot out and rip them out ourselves. Think of the money we'll save on food by only buying applesauce, gravy, and oatmeal! Take that capitalist America!
I had a big supply of the cinnamon ones from Woot. Not overly impressed. The bristles are kind of lousy, the stupid little bead of toothpaste doesn't dissolve very well (and there isn't much of it when it DOES.) They are handy for the "Oh shit, I forgot about this 2pm meeting and had onions for lunch!" situation, but that's about it.
@Sapper would rather smell a little onion breath than The artificial overly strong odor of these things. I tried cleaning under my fingernails with it and the smell wouldn't go away even after I washed with soap. Smell made my eggs taste bad
@Sapper You have to suck on them for a moment to dissolve the gelatin. (I've used these a lot because I tend to have long days with multipoint commutes and had braces for a long time.)
No sink? No water? No spittoon (cuspidor)? You mean ya' gotta swallow what's left in your pie hole after use? Nada!! Meh! Meh!! And furthermore... Meh!!! (well, you did ask for a nag).
meeeehh why wouldn't I just carry a travellers brushing kit or have one laying around everywhere this things are just landfill. If they were made of some soy plastic or some thing degradable I would get some.
This was my first buy and I'm not sure the "OMG what did I just do?!" feeling is either a fresh-out-of-the-gate one-time sensation or more of a constant dread that dulls with time... and more purchases.
@mick I'm confused. MI is the state abbreviation for Michigan. And the map still shows Mississippi without an order, four hours plus into the sale . . .
As for people in Mississippi brushing their teeth, I'm sure there's a joke here to be made, but I needn't type it to get the reader to the punchline (if you get my drift).
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it probably isn't the pig / horse gelatin issue keeping sales low (non-existent) in MS.
@Mehrocco_Mole as I recall they ingredients are not good for you much less kids. I think sucralose + artificial colors. Even if you don't swallow, I'm sure it would be absorbed in the mouth
I really can't recommend these LESS. While a good deal (the airport retailer I work for sells these in a 4 pack for something like $4 each) these don't work very well at all. If you need to freshen your breath a bit just carry a tongue cleaner/scraper around, or some of those cheap disposable floss-pick combos that usually come something like 50 pieces for a few bucks (which usually are usable as a tongue cleaner as well anyway). Then chew some sugarfree gum, or rinse with some water or mouthwash if you have some handy.
As of this writing, almost everyone in California and Texas are buying one. Nobody in Mississippi has bought one. This is understandable as few people in Mississippi have enough teeth to warrant brushing the two they have left.
The bristles are squeaky plastic, and using it feels like you're using a non-toothbrush as a toothbrush. The bead of toothpaste is just enough to taste toothpaste but not enough to create any kind of foaming or abrasive paste. The bristles poke the crap out of your gums.
You're much better off swishing your mouth with water and then popping in a listerine pocket pak strip.
Can you sell those, meh? Pick up a bunch of expired ones. I found a pack from years ago and they still work.
@HELLOALICE Humorously, while they sort of try to bill it as 'toothpaste,' the packaging never refers to it as such, just like a 'breath-freshening pod' or something. So, they glued a crappy gel breath mint to a crappy plastic brush. Fun, fun!
My first thought last night: Camping? Great, I need some. Then second thought: Wait a minute, all plastic? What am I going to do with them? Pack them back out? Then why not stick to my regular toothbrush I've been using all along? That's one brush for the entire trip opposed to one per day or meal! Name one single advantage of a disposable brush! On third thought these don't strike me as good or practical at all. And that's beside all the ingredient issues: gelatin, sugary stuff (sucralose, sorbitol), none of the ingredients I would expect (baking soda, fluoride, tea tree oil).
tl;dr meh, meh, meh! I blame @narfcake for this deal.
@einrad These are great for the office. Eat some stanky food for lunch and the bits are all stuck in your teeth? Pull one of these from your desk or purse and you can freshen your breath and remove the junk from between your teeth. Much better option than bringing a toothbrush to the office and brushing your teeth in the restroom down the hall like some sort of weirdo.
wisp wisp/Submit noun noun: wisp; plural noun: wisps a small thin or twisted bunch, piece, or amount of something. "wisps of smoke rose into the air" synonyms: strand, tendril, lock; More a small bunch of hay or straw used for drying or grooming a horse. a small thin person, typically a child. "a fourteen-year-old wisp of a girl" Origin Middle English: origin uncertain; perhaps related to whisk
*. ARE YOU FOR REAL RIGHT NOW?! We talked about this Meh..... no, zero, whisk related products are to ever be sold again--not after the incident.
Never knew about them before seeing them here. Course, I never knew here existed before, either. Hope I like them and hope they're ALL peppermint. It's the only flave I like in toothpaste. I'm in for 2. Made the shipping seem more reasonable. From VT.
@SaraHannah Just a suggestion, but instead of paying for shipping, you could have enrolled in VMP. That would have given you free shipping for 30 days for the same $5 it cost you for shipping. You can cancel after 30 days before it charges you for the next month.
@SaraHannah From VT! Awesome... I think there are at least 3 maybe 4 of us now I think more buy, but I can only think of 1 or 2 other people that said they were from VT... :)
@cengland0 Ahhhh...Danka! I put the title in their search bar and the only one that showed up said not available. Wonder why these didn't surface, too?!
Reviving an old post here, but you guys need to sell these again because I'm on my last bag now and I'm addicted. Two for Tuesday these things. They are far too expensive elsewhere but the meh price was rad and I'd probably buy like three next time.

Billy Goat: "Meeeeeeeeeehhh"
@SHWOO ya
72 for $8?? How bout 720 for $8
@stryper2000 These cost something like $2 for a 4-pack at the grocery store.
@whogots Psh. Pshhhhhhhhhh. We want super bulk! Like the tablet sleeves!
Very mediocre product. Does a mediocre job at bruising and has to be thrown out after one (maybe 2) use(s.) Also very very convieniant. I have a few in my desk at work :)
@sohmageek Maybe 2, uh gross.
@sohmageek ...which is a good thing as they really aren't supposed to bruise.
@SHWOO ever been stranded for a week in a building with lots of food and only 1 of these things? Neither have I, but I suspect that whoever this does happen to would want them to work multiple times.
@sohmageek Or they would wish they had bought this 72-pack from Meh.
Those who care about such matters (e.g. vegetarians) should note that these contain gelatin.
@Rowsdower There's always room for gello...
@Rowsdower Are hooves meat?
@Rowsdower Came here to say this, glad someone beat me to it.
@marvelljones can we eat strict vegans? or would that cause bad gas
@saodell that all depends. Do you consider Scrapple as meat?
@sohmageek Scrapple is basically cornmeal mush flavored with meat scraps and spices.
Landfill.
@PocketBrain
No effing kidding!! Plastic plastic plastic. Only thing worse would be if each came in its own zip lock bag.
@saodell They don't each come in their own zip lock bag? Gross.
@saodell also worse is if they're made out of toxic number seven plastic as printed on the bag. so that you rubbing bad plastic with plasticizers , BPA or whatever all over your mouth
@PocketBrain they have a free recycle program for wisps - http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/colgate-r-wisp-r-brigade-r.html
@mehod

Do these have an expiration date?
@conandlibrarian Yes. I got some (and by that I mean a ton of it) at Woot a long while back. It expired before I could use half of it :( That's what I get for buying like 10 boxes of it. Alcohol may have been involved.
@conandlibrarian Expiration is 3/21/16 or later.
@conandlibrarian During the Zombie Apocalypse, all expiration dates are null and void.
@conandlibrarian You do know that expiration dates are just a marketing gimmick, right? Maybe not for food, but these for sure.
@Moose Thanks! I bit and bought some. WIll be great for my big camping trip in July.
@meow57 I read that baby car seats have an expiration date.
@heartbleed Will they work for cleaning under fingernails? They look a little bit like surgeons nylon fingernail scrubbers. Which I usually much more expensive. I will get them for the purpose if they were not made out of a toxic plastic. Anyone know exactly what kind of plastic it's made of.?
@heartbleed I still use some I bought from Woot that expired years ago. I don't think this is a product where that's really very important. Of course, I'm not swallowing the toothpaste. It's such a small amount I doubt that matters much anyways, though.

@jml326 I hope everyone is ok!!
@kadagan Yes we are fine aside from some seatbelt bruising, airbag burns and whiplash. The car and the car seat did their job and sacrificed themselves for my family.
@conandlibrarian They are bits of plastic with a gelatine capsule full of alcohol stuck to them, FFS. Does vodka have an expiration date?
@conandlibrarian I have noticed that the "toothpaste" capsule gets quite hard the older they are
@whogots alcohol??? "Ingredients Caprylic , Capric Triglyceride , Flavor , Gelatin , Sorbitol , Sucralose , FD&C Blue 1 (CI 42090)" no alcohol FFS
I bought some, Sir.
These things are great and super handy to have around. I keep a bunch at work and always have a few in my car. Also stick a pack in my carry on when flying.
expiration date?
@annwat Expiration is 3/21/16 or later.
I can see why some people might like them, but they've never been worth it when I've used them. Always made my mouth feel gross afterwards.
@whoopsijoined they have gross ingredients. Did you rinse with water afterwards?
Cinnamon is much better. Meh on this deal.
@KCFalcon59 I agree about the cinnamon, and bought 3 anyway.
I kind of want to buy this since it seems like it's a good deal, but it fails my acid test of impulse meh purchases, since it's over half the Amazon price...
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THESE HIGHLY ENOUGH.
I got like a 5-year supply in an old Woot sale and am just running out now. They are awesome. Peppermint is the best flavor.
The bristles are nice and firm, and they are perfect for travel.
I don't use them as a full on teeth-brushing substitute. You'll still want to use toothpaste and a real brush and water.
But they are perfect for freshening your breath an cleaning your teeth after a meal.
They are also great for single-use toothbrushes with actual paste and water if you are away from home.
Throw a few packs of these in every travel bag you have and you won't regret it.
Ugh. These contain gelatin which is not on a vegetarian diet. Most gelatin is derived from pig in the USA.
@cengland0 Yum!
@cengland0 wait, these have bacon in them? I just changed my mind. these rock.
@cengland0 What a coincidence! "Ugh" is the same word that comes to mind when someone tells me theyre a vegetarian.
@pepsiwine Now now, everyone is entitled to their own choice in diets.
http://shirt.woot.com/offers/meatatarian
@cengland0 Oh for Christ's sake. You spit the crap out after use. Just don't swallow.
Chances are good that you've had other animal parts in your mouth and haven't complained. ;)
@pepsiwine That type of vegetarian (particularly a large segment of vegans) generally irritates other vegetarians as well. Source: I'm a vegetarian who can't stand hearing about others' vegetarianism and why everyone else should be vegetarians too.

Religion and common sense never really did go hand in hand... Maybe take a kosher stick and flick the little blob off before using.
@Rowsdower All these limitations for religious people! (And vegetarians!) Damn! Religious people wouldn't stand a chance in a zombie apocalypse. Looks like the rule-abiding folks on Team God would be the first to go, and the rest of us heathens would win the apocalypse. (So to speak.) lol

I didn't know this was a thing that existed.
They're great to take backpacking. Take what you need and you drop weight as you use them (if you burn them after use).
@tsigley are they seriously too heavy to carry back out? You would rather add toxins to the environment by burning them? Please don't do that, they are nearly weightless
You can save $8 by simply not brushing your teeth.
@KevinTJ and then spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars fixing your teeth from root canals to cleaning to rotted teeth
@KevinTJ nice try Mr. Dentist. We're on to you, we'll let the fuckers rot out and rip them out ourselves. Think of the money we'll save on food by only buying applesauce, gravy, and oatmeal! Take that capitalist America!

@legendornothing <3
1 hour in and these have yet to sell in Mississippi. Just sayin'.
@Pavlov People in Mississippi don't brush their teeth? Ouhh, your in a lot of trouble now. I'm in MI, I bought em, just sayin.
@mick I'm confused. MI is the state abbreviation for Michigan. And the map still shows Mississippi without an order, four hours plus into the sale . . .

@Mehrocco_Mole And these are PERFECT for kids after eating lunch at school.
@Mehrocco_Mole as I recall they ingredients are not good for you much less kids. I think sucralose + artificial colors. Even if you don't swallow, I'm sure it would be absorbed in the mouth
You're killing the environment, Larry.
I really can't recommend these LESS.
While a good deal (the airport retailer I work for sells these in a 4 pack for something like $4 each) these don't work very well at all.
If you need to freshen your breath a bit just carry a tongue cleaner/scraper around, or some of those cheap disposable floss-pick combos that usually come something like 50 pieces for a few bucks (which usually are usable as a tongue cleaner as well anyway).

Just glad today's offer is not another stupid pocket knife.
@grmeyer you mean pocket toothpick?
헐 접속통계 2등이 뽐뿌예요??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
@sherryblue 입니다 반가워요 한국형님들 ㅋㅋㅋ

흰색 스피커독은 이제 안나올까요? ㅎㅎ
혼자 구입한 meh 결제액이 아마
천달러는 가뿐히 넘기지 않을까 싶네요 ㅋㅋ
@exart7 스피커독땜에 칫솔 살 여유가... ㅋㅋ
As of this writing, almost everyone in California and Texas are buying one. Nobody in Mississippi has bought one. This is understandable as few people in Mississippi have enough teeth to warrant brushing the two they have left.
@sjk3 Someone from Alcorn county bought one
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
Wow - not sold out.
It should be noted that these do not actually have toothpaste in them, they basically have a jellied breath mint.
Toothpaste has an abrasive which polishes your teeth, and fluoride for anticavity.
This has none of that goodness and is just a very inefficient way to do what a Tic-Tac can do.
Are they individually packaged? If not, how do you take them with you?
I'll speak up with the hate.
The bristles are squeaky plastic, and using it feels like you're using a non-toothbrush as a toothbrush. The bead of toothpaste is just enough to taste toothpaste but not enough to create any kind of foaming or abrasive paste. The bristles poke the crap out of your gums.
You're much better off swishing your mouth with water and then popping in a listerine pocket pak strip.
Can you sell those, meh? Pick up a bunch of expired ones. I found a pack from years ago and they still work.
@HELLOALICE Humorously, while they sort of try to bill it as 'toothpaste,' the packaging never refers to it as such, just like a 'breath-freshening pod' or something. So, they glued a crappy gel breath mint to a crappy plastic brush. Fun, fun!
Hopefully these non-toothbrushes will help with the cigar breath.
My first thought last night: Camping? Great, I need some. Then second thought: Wait a minute, all plastic? What am I going to do with them? Pack them back out? Then why not stick to my regular toothbrush I've been using all along? That's one brush for the entire trip opposed to one per day or meal! Name one single advantage of a disposable brush! On third thought these don't strike me as good or practical at all. And that's beside all the ingredient issues: gelatin, sugary stuff (sucralose, sorbitol), none of the ingredients I would expect (baking soda, fluoride, tea tree oil).
tl;dr meh, meh, meh! I blame @narfcake for this deal.
@einrad These are great for the office. Eat some stanky food for lunch and the bits are all stuck in your teeth? Pull one of these from your desk or purse and you can freshen your breath and remove the junk from between your teeth. Much better option than bringing a toothbrush to the office and brushing your teeth in the restroom down the hall like some sort of weirdo.
@einrad I keep 'em in the car.
@medz I'd rather be the weirdo in the restroom and do some real cleaning to my teeth. Or use toothpicks / sugar free gum.
@einrad Yeah, but how much would it cost to buy 72 toothpicks and 72 pieces of sugar free gum?
@medz I think you'd loose on that: [toothpicks][1]+[gum][2] = $0.046 / item = $3.28 for the 72 pack [1]: http://www.amazon.com/Flat-Wood-Toothpicks-Natural-2500/dp/B009R61ACA/ [2]: http://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Sugar-Polar-Piece-Bottles/dp/B001D3K2AG/
@einrad don't forget to factor in the cost of Amazon Prime to cover the shipping costs.

ARE YOU FOR REAL RIGHT NOW?! We talked about this Meh..... no, zero, whisk related products are to ever be sold again--not after the incident.
wordy-seductive-iguana
In for three! Hopefully, they make a nice alternative to my pre-pasted Plak Smackers...
I never travel without them.....
Shipping kills the deal.

@JonT,
Never knew about them before seeing them here. Course, I never knew here existed before, either. Hope I like them and hope they're ALL peppermint. It's the only flave I like in toothpaste. I'm in for 2. Made the shipping seem more reasonable. From VT.
@SaraHannah Just a suggestion, but instead of paying for shipping, you could have enrolled in VMP. That would have given you free shipping for 30 days for the same $5 it cost you for shipping. You can cancel after 30 days before it charges you for the next month.
@cengland0 How right you are, but I'm not very good at keeping up with stuff like that. These programs just Love me!
@SaraHannah contact support at https://meh.com/support and we might be able to help out.
@SaraHannah From VT! Awesome... I think there are at least 3 maybe 4 of us now I think more buy, but I can only think of 1 or 2 other people that said they were from VT... :)
BTW...not available on Amazon. Not sure what that says...
@SaraHannah A smaller pack of them is available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Colgate-Portable-Mini-Brush-Fresh-Peppermint/dp/B00HXAIN90/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429653406&sr=8-1/?tag=meh0ec-20 24 count for $4.96
@cengland0 Ahhhh...Danka! I put the title in their search bar and the only one that showed up said not available. Wonder why these didn't surface, too?!
2500 and still not sold out???
You go colgate and meh!
180,000 weird bar night toothbrushes and counting!
I would buy if they were cinnamon, but I'm not as big a fan of the peppermint.
For a split second I thought the Millennium Falcon looked like The Shocker
These arrived and were great. If you ever get the chance to run them again, I will buy a lot more.
How do these come? Do they come in packages of 12 or are they all just thrown in a box individually all 72 of them together in a small shipping box?
@slw0276 They came in a brown box, and within the brown box are 6 pouches with ziplock tops and inside those 6 pouches are 12 "wisps".
I have to say... My coworkers were a bit weirded out by the wisps... I haven't even tried using them multiple times yet...
Reviving an old post here, but you guys need to sell these again because I'm on my last bag now and I'm addicted. Two for Tuesday these things. They are far too expensive elsewhere but the meh price was rad and I'd probably buy like three next time.
@cryomancer199X I'm worried about you.
