The Birthday of the Toothbrush

Have you ever wondered when things were invented, or who was the inventor? Yesterday, June 26th, was the anniversary of the day that back in 1498 the toothbrush was invented... I wonder what people did before that (chew on mint leaves?). While I've mentioned the modern marvel of the Oral-B Brush-Up on here before... if you don't know what it is, you might want to check it out (especially campers and backpackers who want to save on weight and space). For those not as adventerous, we also carry a basic Colgate Toothbrush. And if anyone is interested, I just had someone ask me when and who invented toilet paper (and what did people do before that?). Post it in the comments below if you can find the answer.
