Japanese are obsessive with hygiene, so much that somebody invented the ultimate toothbrush carrying case with built-in UV lamp; supposedly it’ll kill germs. While everything sounds so much like a dream, the case is so portable, the UV lamp runs on AAA batteries. So the guys who tested it took it for a try, their conclusion this morning is that it works! Though we have no chance to verify their claim of removing “99.999% germs”, what we’re certain is that after using the toothbrush for 2 months everyday and leaving it in the case, the brush is not stained at all and it’s still odorless. It’s up to you to decide whether a squirky clean toothbrush is worth 35 bucks and a trip to Japan. —Sam Chan
