To save you the trouble of preparing coffee in the morning, oral hygiene company Colgate has revealed plans for a “toothbrush with a built-in caffeine patch” that releases the chemical as you brush your teeth.
In the patent application form submitted by the Colgate-Palmolive company, it revealed that chemicals would be “embedded into the heads of standard toothbrushes”.
The patches would last about three months, and would release the chemicals slowly over time.
Besides caffeinated patches, the company also has plans for apple and lemon-flavored patches—as well as drug patches that contain aspirin and appetite suppressants.
What do you think? Would you like your coffee as you brush your teeth?
