"We work for good and right and always do it well We're teenage mutant ninja turtles. My name is Raphael. Brush three times a day and after pizza pie. It's good to do just what we say, because turtles never lie. I'll be here each day standing on this tower. Brushing our way is such fun it must be turtle power. HaHa!"

Mankind has made some real wasteful things over the years. No wonder everything is full of micro plastics.

Assuming that the batteries are replaceable/rechargeable, and the head changeable, at best a kid will be sick of the song after 3 months (the parents a lot sooner), and I don’t see it having a way to replace the song. This is literally designed as a gimmick to go straight to the landfill.

And any night the kid forgets to brush is a night the parents don’t have to hear Survivor from a 4 cent speaker. After 2 weeks no parent is going to go ‘I didn’t hear survivor play, you didn’t brush your teeth!’, they’re going to be thankful.
