Oral-B created a line of Muppet toothbrushes and toothpaste in 1986. Oral-B had launched the concept of "character toothbrushes" aimed at children in 1984 with a line of Star Wars toothbrushes; the Muppet line was the first time Oral-B branched out into characters for their toothpaste as well.[1]

The artwork on the 1986 toothbrushes and packaging was provided by illustrator Daryl Cagle, who worked on a variety of Muppet products in the 1980s.[2]

The toothbrushes had pictures and signatures of the Muppet characters on the packaging, and printed on the toothbrush itself. Six toothbrushes were made, in six different colors -- Kermit the Frog's toothbrush was green, Miss Piggy's in pink, Fozzie Bear's in yellow, Gonzo's in purple, Animal's in blue, and Scooter's in orange.

Toothpaste[]

The toothpaste made in 1986 came in two packages, one with Kermit the Frog and the other with Miss Piggy. A pump version of the Bubble Gum Gel toothpaste was produced in 1988, featuring both Kermit and Piggy on the package.

Stickers[]

In Italy, Oral B produced five stickers to be given out at dentists' offices, featuring unique art.
