two minute turtle timer

I saw a conversation between Julie and a reader named Carol in the quip electric toothbrush review yesterday.  The gist of the conversation was that it seemed to be a normal toothbrush with a two minute quad-timer that told you how long to spend brushing each quadrant of your mouth.  Many other electric toothbrushes have […]
