Maybe you keep old toothbrushes around so it can bug people who’s business it isn’t of what you keep or don’t keep. Real pluggers grew up in a country of real freedom and in most cases, you didn’t concern yourself with other people’s storage contents.
Toothbrushes have many different uses, like cleaning the keyboard I’m typing this on. I don’t use old ones, though, because my dentist will give me new brushes any time I ask for them (I brush with a Sonicare).
This thread reminds me of a story I just need to tell. My parents had a can by the telephone with a bunch of old pens, many of which were dried up. My dad would grab a pen to use, and if it wouldn’t write he would utter a cuss word, stick it back in the can, and take another. This went on for years.

Their usefulness is extended for scrubbing around kitchen and bathroom faucets with CLR or Lime-Away. (Just mark them as no longer for dental use!)

Many household items have second uses if you think it through ;-)

I have a couple in the workshop for cleaning small parts. Have to be careful though, because some dissolve in acetone.
