Fancy knowing the weather while brushing your teeth? Your toothpaste will know.

Fancy knowing the weather while brushing your teeth? Your toothpaste will know.

Usually when it comes to toothpaste, people will choose something that’s fresh mint. Anything other than that would be extremely awful, or least inspiring to say the least. What’s more if you’re about to taste the weather. You won’t want your teeth to taste sweet in the morning do you, unless your partner wants something sweet while kissing you in the morning? How about very cloudy teeth? Well, the folks at MIT have recently created the toothpaste that changes its flavour according to the weather.

That’s right, if you think that weighing machines that comes with integrated Twitter updates or gadgets that can send Twitter updates on your pet’s behalf is cool, this toothpaste is cooler, or weirder to me. It will connect to the internet to check for the weather forecast and once that’s done, it will mix different flavours together to form not only different tasting toothpaste, but also different colours!

If the weather is going to be warmer than yesterday, it’ll taste like cinnamon and if it’s going to be cooler, it’ll be minty. Blue stripe on the toothpaste indicates that it’s going to rain. The project was developed to show how a simple object can communicate simple and relevant information when given dynamic properties. But still, cinnamon?
