The title is a bit of an exaggeration.

Why do corporations change shampoo and toothbrushes so often? I’ll go through 10 different shampoos and toothbrushes, then find ones I like. I’ll probably be able to purchase them again a few times before the ones I like are no longer available.

What are the forces driving manufacturer’s to change their basic wares so often? Besides Wall St. greed, that is?

    You’re supposed to use a toothbrush for no longer than 3 months. So either you use them to long, or you go to the dentist a lot more often than I do.
