Feb. 24, 1938: Americans Can Now Stop Chewing on Pig Hair
1938 : The first nylon-bristled toothbrushes go on sale, a welcome alternative to chewing on sticks or scrubbing the teeth with ground-up oyster shells.
This story begins with an Englishman named William Addis, who in the late 18th century went and started a riot, consequently landing himself in prison. Tired of cleaning his teeth with a rag and soot and salt, he saved a small bone from the mess hall, drilled holes in it and threaded pig bristles through. Addis mass-produced this toothbrush , which if you were lucky might from time to time taste of bacon.
In 1935 a scientist at DuPont invented nylon, intending it to function as an alternative to silk. Before it was used to make parachutes in World War II, nylon made its way into a new toothbrush based on Addis’ time-tested design. Developed by the Weco Products Company, it was dubbed Doctor West’s Miracle-Tuft and released at 50 cents a piece ($8 today, adjusted for inflation).
