One Woman… 1,618 Toothbrushes

An woman’s unusual collection earned her a Guinness World Records title when the organization confirmed she owns 1,618 different packaged toothbrushes.

Kelly Hardy (of Ontario, CA) said her collection began when she was 12 years old and found an unusual toothbrush with a built-in floss dispenser.

Her collection now features 1,618 different toothbrushes, including brushes featuring characters from “The Simpsons” and “Star Wars”.

Kelly said she had to have all of her toothbrushes laid out on tables at a local school’s gymnasium for the official count. Each piece had to be individually counted on video.

The evidence was then submitted to Guinness World Records, which confirmed a few weeks later that she had beaten the record of 1,320 set by Grigori Fleicher of Russia.
