Miswak: Traditional Twig for Teeth would replace paste and brush

Published February 2nd, 2011 - 14:22 GMT

A Popular tooth tool in the Middle East, but unlikely to spread; Jordan on Egypt; A dreamer dreams of trouble free countries; And another innovation 'hits' the tennis and sports fan community.
A smart solution straight from a Lebanese fresh mind, but can it compete with our fresh-mint commercial Colgate culture?

"THIS toothbursh": Twig tooth-cleanser.
The Middle East is spawning 'organic' innovations in a very commercial tooth industry : but does this pose Recognising the sustainability-potential of eliminating both the toothbrush and paste, Leen's intriguing "THIS" concept aims to package and promote the Miswak as an organic and biodegradable alternative to the Western teeth cleansing routine. A sustainable solution? But how long would it be before we begin to hear about Miswak deforestation? asks one user in response to hearing of Leen's smart tooth tool. And how appealing would this twig device really be for a Western Colgate audience?

Jordan supports Egypt – 1.2.2011

Imagine the Unimaginable
Imagine all the people....musical notes waft out gently from this post. Ola waxes lyrical on what can only be described as a utopia: Imagine a country where there is no racism, no hunger, no crime, no corruption, no injustice....., she dreams. Where teachers realize they hold in their hands the future of generations to come, and that the students are not puppets for their amusement but the greatest responsibility of all. So 'That' Jordanian teacher is not a national here then.
