Today, my family got into a massive argument about whether or not battery-operated toothbrushes are considered electric toothbrushes. Everyone is in their own room and refuses to talk to each other. FML

...If they're battery operated, they thus function using electricity and would be electric toothbrushes... or am I missing something?

I'm guessing some of the family thinks thay plug in ones would be referred to as electric whereas ones with batteries would be more specifically called battery-operated.

It's not rainbows and unicorns in batteries.

Stay tuned for next weeks season finale when the Smith family discusses non-battery vs battery vs electric toothbrushes

Arguments about toothbrushes can lead to the decay of family values. Just be glad no one died. The last thing you want is a floss in the family. Just brush it off and it will be ok. Also keep the family calm or else the police will show up and you don't want any cavity searches.

This sounds like one of those tumblr stories that are believable but still strangely hard to believe

Since batteries generate electricity, then yes, those battery-powered toothbrushes are electric.

Batteries store electric, they don't generate it.

batteries are prison cells for the souls of the damned, therefore the toothbrushes are witchcraft powered not electric. duh

Ya know, not to be rude but I suspect it may be better if none of them speak to each other for a while

The answer to that question is yes, a battery operated toothbrush is considered to be an electric toothbrush. KNOWLEDGE SLAM!!!!!!
