True or not, it's a good reminder that not everything needs to be connected to everything else "just because".
All well and good, but none of these things are connected "just because." There are reasons why a toothbrush might need an internet connection. You may not agree with those reasons but they do exist, it's not "just because."
DDoS by teethbrushes. What a time to be alive!
This feels like an Onion headline. Never would have expected this to happen
It didn't.
The future is weird
Toothbrushes again
I would like to reward whoever had the audacity to exploit toothbrushes with some sort of plaque

How do I know if I’m brushing my teeth then?
How did my dad ever learn to brush before Sparkly was around?
Oh no Sparkly has been zombified!

Not Swiss, but I'd never put Java in my mouth.
our world is definitely getting weirder
No one has seen the Tooth Fairy since the incident.
