Toothpaste "Children of the Hydra's Teeth" Ad (Joke/Proposed)
Jason and the Argonauts is on TCM this evening, and there's a couple of wonderful scenes with a hydra, and then with the hydra's teeth becoming skeletons and fighting Jason and his cohorts. But I was thinking that this might make a fun ad for toothpaste, where the hydra is killed, and the teeth of the hydra are collected, but because the hydra didn't take care of its teeth, they're all rotten, and no skeletons are produced. Then the king of Colchis says: "Damn. I should have brushed the hydra's teeth!" And so Jason gets away with the Golden Fleece, and all because the hydra didn't use (whatever brand of) toothpaste. The End.
