"  If you&amp;#039;re anything like us, you&amp;#039;re always looking for ways to shave precious seconds off your morning routine. As much as we love multi-tasking, though, sometimes two processes just seem to disparate to combine. Thanks to a recently filed patent, though, two of your most important morning habits \u2014 brushing your teeth and getting a caffeine fix \u2014 might soon be united as one.  Colgate-Palmolive has submitted designs for a toothbrush that can dispense any sort of &amp;quot;chemical into mouth during use&amp;quot; (patent lingo is so sexy), but morning caffeine enthusiasts are celebrating the idea mostly for its ability to deliver that necessary a.m. jolt. Think of the time you&amp;#039;d save if you didn&amp;#039;t have to brew a pot of coffee, wait for it to cool, and sip it. Instead, all it would take to get your morning fix would be the time you already spend brushing your teeth. That said, we would miss the morning ritual of brewing and sipping. Oh well, we have awhile before the invention hits the market to figure this out. Just wanted to get it on your radar in case you had planned a visit to Shark Tank to pitch a similar idea in the future. Next in the &amp;quot;why didn&amp;#039;t we think of that?&amp;quot; invention announcements is the Brolly, which (unlike the toothbrush) is available for purchase right now. Have you ever tried to send a text message while carrying an umbrella? I usually end up holding the umbrella sideways and getting soaking wet or straining my hand muscles. I know, first-world problems over here; but hear me out, the Brolly is kind of genius.  Instead of a solid handle, the umbrella has four finger holes that leave your thumb free for texting and also allows for a firmer grip on blustery days. Now that you&amp;#039;re able to fire off those text messages while safely sheltered from the rain, though, please make sure you look where you&amp;#039;re going!
