[Here](http://www.jnjoralhealth.com/freshandclean/index.htm) is a toothbrush that helps you clean your tongue “way in the back of your mouth” according to the commercial. Seems like something to do if you’re _trying_ to make yourself vomit.

You can buy tongue cleaners at most drugstores. This might be a cheaper way to go if you are so inclined. I find using the brush works well enough, since I don’t have killer breath.
