The woman not only mistreats the batteries, but her entire electric toothbrush. Mine cost me about $20. Also, don't they make them rechargeable?
I think the focus of the commercial was properly disposing of rechargeable batteries. You aren't supposed to put those into the trash. My electric toothbrush is a rechargeable. Brush, drop it on the stand, it recharges and is ready to go the next time.
If only everything in life was that simple...
