Have you ever thought about what would you do when you make it big and the minutiae you would eradicate from your life permanently? Perhaps your first thought is ironing shirts or scrubbing the bathroom, but I mean big—really big. No more bill paying and no more trips to the supermarket might cross your mind, but what about those everyday tasks that just seem to get in the way of your being fabulous? What about the ennui of squeezing one’s own toothpaste?
Yes, well say goodbye to that, Daddy Warbucks (or Mrs Warbucks), now there’s a tool to do it for you. The Cedes toothpaste squeezer is handmade and chrome-plated, has silicon feet so it doesn’t damage your marble countertop and is made in Italy. The price of luxury? US$295, which equates to a lot of toothpaste if you’re to make the purchase worthwhile. Although, weekly trips to the dentist would be commonplace, wouldn’t they? The next item of life’s banality to tackle: fly swatting … with an alligator leather fly swatter.
