A musing or too much?

Toothbrushes
Category: Misc.

Can somebody please tell me why tooshbrushes cost so much damn money?!

Seriously, for the price of four toothbrushes I can get a portable CD player. I'm not talking about high-end motorized toothbrushes. I'm talking Colgate toothbrushes. $4.79 plus tax. Really gets one thinking about relative worth of goods...

(If you thought that this post was interesting, why not read another? Perhaps a random link? Or you could just read about me.)

They're an item that everyone needs. Sure, a toothbrush probably costs about 75 cents to make. But Colgate can mark it up like crazy because they know people are going to buy it regardless. Though, you're also paying more because of the Colgate name, I'm sure.

It gets even more expensive when you start replacing your toothbrush every 3-4 months as recommended. And you could spend even more money if you get one of those handy bathroom toothbrush sanitizers with the fancy UV light. Then again, the cost of doing without a toothbrush entirely would be even worse...

While I agree that toothbrushes are expenseive, I feel, intuitivly, that you were overcharged. I feel like i pay around $3.
