Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic toothbrush and said, “By the power of fluoride!”

I had the He-Man toothpaste topper when I was a kid. I used to pretend it was his brains oozing out! It was an Easter gift, so morbidity was in the air at the time. What can I say? I was an imaginative child.
It was an era of brain-eating and exploding heads, among every other kind of graphic violence! And look, we’re not (all) psychopaths.
I missed these when I was a kid, but I did have the He-Man toothbrush. About 11 years ago when my wife and I were dating, I discovered there was a Skeletor toothbrush similar to the He-Man one. I got it for about $15 at one of the Vintage Stock locations in Tulsa.
