    I am not familiar with these? When was this? Is this an American thing?

        I’m 32 and from the Netherlands, and I’ve never heard of these.
        So the point of them is education?

        We had them in Slovenia in the 2010s. Probably still do. Honestly I believe it’s a good thing to teach kids the inportance of oral hygiene in school.

          Yes, but you can do that without the public shaming part.

          It’s low hanging fruit for bullies.

      You can still buy them. They stain the plaque.
