Banana! Yellow, blue and ready to tackle some seriously questionable morning breath. ORDO has teamed up with Illumination’s beloved Minions to make brushing teeth a little less of a battle and a lot more fun.
Getting children to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like negotiating with tiny dictators. One minute they’re excited about bedtime, the next they’re suddenly allergic to toothpaste, toothbrushes and anything resembling personal hygiene. Thankfully, ORDO has found some rather unexpected reinforcements. Enter the Minions!
The mischievous yellow creatures are swapping their usual adventures for a slightly more important mission: encouraging little ones to take better care of their teeth. ORDO, the UK oral care innovator, has joined forces with Universal Products & Experiences to launch the Minions x ORDO Sonic Kids Battery Toothbrush, bringing a dose of animated mischief to South African bathrooms.
It’s Bananas
And no, this isn’t just another toothbrush with a cute character slapped onto the handle. There is some clever technology hiding behind those cheerful yellow faces.
Available in two playful yellow and blue designs, the toothbrush is suitable for children aged four and above. Its sonic technology delivers up to 18,000 pulses per minute, helping to remove more plaque than a manual toothbrush while remaining gentle on young teeth and gums. It also features soft bristles and a compact handle designed for smaller hands.
In other words, little hands get a toothbrush they can comfortably hold, while parents get a little reassurance that the job is actually getting done.
ORDO has also thought about the realities of family life. The toothbrush offers up to 60 days of brushing from a single AA battery, making it practical for everyday use and family holidays. Each toothbrush includes two replaceable brush heads, providing up to six months of brushing. The brush heads also offer a more sustainable alternative to fully disposable toothbrushes.
Even better, the toothbrush is suitable for children with braces or other dental work, making it a practical addition to different oral care routines.
At R349, it offers parents an accessible way to introduce sonic brushing technology without turning a simple bathroom essential into an expensive affair.
According to Barty Walsh, Founder and CEO of ORDO, the collaboration is about more than bringing popular characters into children’s oral care. It is about making brushing enjoyable and helping families establish positive habits that can last a lifetime.
ORDO X Minions
And let’s face it, the Minions have a certain talent for getting attention. Whether they’re causing chaos, speaking their wonderfully confusing language or making audiences laugh, these little yellow characters know how to steal a scene. Perhaps getting children excited about brushing their teeth is their next big achievement.
While the Minions might not be qualified dentists (as far as we know), they could certainly make excellent bathroom companions.
So, parents, consider this your chance to recruit a little help in the battle against unbrushed teeth, forgotten bedtime routines and the occasional toothpaste tantrum.
The Minions x ORDO Sonic Kids Battery Toothbrush is available at Yuppiechef for R349.
Bello! Better brushing has never looked quite so mischievous. And remember, kids: banana breaks are encouraged, but brushing is non-negotiable
