a line of artificial fruit drinks called After You Brush that taste good even right after you've brushed your teeth
a line of natural fruit drinks called 3 Hours Later... which you can enjoy after the effect of the toothpaste has worn off (a 2-pack of After You Brush and 3 Hours Later... could easily get you through the day)
an After You Brush test kit that uses a saliva sample to determine whether it's ok to drink fruit juice
an After You Brush phone app that texts you 3 hours after you've brushed your teeth to let you know that it's ok to drink fruit juice (but it isn't as accurate as the After You Brush test kit)

a chewing gum (secretly manufactured by After You Brush) called Fresh Breath that secretly contains sodium lauryl sulfate, the same chemical that makes fruit juice taste bitter after you've brushed your teeth. the popularity of Fresh Breath causes Even After You Brush's sales to plummet as consumers of both products are convinced that the toothpaste is useless
a breath spray called Fresher Breath (secretly manufactured by Even After You Brush slogan: "spray after you chew for even fresher breath!") that counteracts the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate, whether the source is toothpaste or gum

Yes, I should clarify that I have fond memories of visiting Spencer's as a lad but, as with most of the things we enjoy after the onset of puberty but before our critical faculties have begun to solidify, revisiting it as an adult is basically the most depressing thing ever.

speaking of shitting in front of someone. the Buttler. there's basically a small photocopier next to the toilet at armrest height. you put your used paper on it, soiled side down, to be scanned and analyzed. your phone vibrates when you are done (an adjustable threshold lets you tune the meaning of "done" and optimize that so important and personal time/cleanliness trade-off). The "Buttler" is actually the person who must squeegee the analyzer after every use - a new job created for every bathroom stall. you'd sell accessories like color-coded analyzer toilet paper that indicates if you have enough fiber in your diet. there's Buttler mobile. of course, the real opportunity for growth lies in monetizing all that data.

(NB, this may entail nothing more than dropping, say, a slice of olive loaf in a can of otherwise-unflavored carbonated water.)
