They don't make my favorite toothbrush anymore.
I have an electric one that I've had for years and I still like it very much, but they don't make the brush heads anymore.

I ran into this a year and a half ago, but was able to find them on the web and bought all I could at the time. But now I've run out, and find they're all gone everywhere. Even Canada.

First of all, I'm pissed I'm going to have to spend $100 or more to get a new electric toothbrush I'm probably not going to like half as much.

And second, I'm pissed I have to do this because of planned obsolescence or whatever the hell that theory was that says, "Buy more stuff every few years because we say you have to." Grr. x(

1. I can't find mine either
And it was just a regular kind -- and now all the stupid "hi-tech" toothbrushes they make don't fit in my toothbrush holder!

I SO have that same problem! I have to keep mine in a cup now because it won't fit in the holder.
