> [@lainaf](#): > > The ads for the new flushable toilet brushes annoy me. The ads imply that one’s toilet brush is crawling with fecal bacteria. Since most people clean the toilet with a fairly strong disinfectant, the brush bristles should be sterile after use. Perhaps what the ads are really saying is that their own product (Lysol) doesn’t do an adequate job of disinfecting the bowl and brush. Those commercials annoy me because they seem to be saying that one’s toilet brush will grow a face and menace one unnervingly. This possibility seems remote. Besides, I’m on septic. As for the OP, well, it caused me to laugh out loud. So I can say this: LOL! ---

I vehemently disagree with the people who say to keep it hidden when guests are around. Let it show. Use it with pride. Show no embarassment or shyness. Damn it, it doesn’t matter what it was made for. What matters is how you use it. I personally have a couple of heavy duty, straight sided earthenware dog dishes that I’ve used for years myself. They’re great in the microwave and keep the heat in really well. Just the right size for a can of Dinty Moore. I’ve never hidden them and, if people find it amusing I simply point out that I don’t own a dog. ---

Kinda lends a whole new meaning to the SDMB phrase, " Whoooooooosh " 😃 Hey, I bought two metal slightly curved flat wide spoons with slots a few years ago. They’re perfect for wok cooking. One went downstairs, to use to scoop kitty litter in the dark and dreadful days before I discovered Kitty Litter Box Removable Bags. 😉 One went to the kitchen. I’m cooking a few months ago, and for some reason, a switch was thrown. My son gasps and says as only a 13 year-old can, > [@](#): > > Oh god DAD !! You’re cooking dinner with the POOPER SCOOPER !!! I wasn’t of course, but they had PB&J Sammiches for dinner that night out of sheer desire to ride me on the idea anyway. Kids today… Cartooniverse ---

Its OK. If women can use toilet water as perfume, surely you can scrub your bottles with a toilet brush. But for the record, are your teeth as white as they used to be? Just checking… 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wtf-this-is-just-a-big-bottle-brush-its-gotta-be/239824.md?page=2)
