In a nation obsessed with sparkling teeth and minty-fresh breath, the lowly
toothbrush is the king of inventions.

So say the findings of a new survey released Wednesday by the Lemelson-MIT
Invention Index at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which asked
which of five inventions Americans could not live without.

The toothbrush emerged the undisputed champ, beating out the car, the
personal computer, the cell phone and the microwave -- in that order -- as
the most prized innovation.
