What is the Amabrush?
Amabrush is a revolutionary new toothbrush that brushes your teeth automatically, all at once, in just 10 seconds (source).
- Amabrush bristles are aligned in a 45° angle against the gum line as recommended by dental experts. The bristles are soft enough to rub instead of scratch.
- It is made out of three parts – the mouthpiece, the handpiece and toothpaste capsules.
- The handpiece creates strong vibrations with an amplitude of 9.5G to oscillate the bristles and clean your teeth.
Funny Fact: when you are 30 years old and you brush for 3 minutes per day, you will save 77 days in your lifetime!

Week 36: Flakka (designer drug)
What is Flakka?
Recently, there have been a lot of outrageous stories about people in Florida doing strange things. For example, a man rushed out of his house in Miami a month ago. He ripped off all his clothes and screamed violently while running. This occurred after smoking Flakka, a crystal-like drug. It took five police officers to take him down. The “excited delirium” that the user ends up in seems to create a superhuman strength. With this strength, there is delusion, paranoia, and hallucination. The drug is new to the scene. It is a synthetic amphetamine-like stimulant. Flakka has the same type of compounds that are found in bath salts(cathinones). The drug is being purchased online, primarily from China. Small town dealers are then peddling it, making it easily attainable and very cheap at $3.00 per hit. (Read more).

It’s akin to a lightly whipped, cheesecake-flavoured milkshake sitting delicately on top of your brew, and it’s ready to become your next Instagrammable drink (source).
