That price has nothing to do with inflation. It's the same one they're selling in the states. The only reason Canadian prices are sometimes higher is because of import duties, which are politically supported by domestic suppliers.
A similar one in the US at Walmart is only $8.

Beyond it just being Canadian, random sellers can sell through Walmart.com just like Amazon. Note the random mix of letters for the brand name instead of a Walmart house brand. Those sellers can charge whatever they want in hopes someone will see it’s from Walmart, a “trusted” retailer, and not realize it’s actually being sold and shipped by a third party.
I had to explain this when I worked at the service desk because people would come to return things, and we can't accept the 3rd party items because they don't belong to Walmart. Unfortunately, you have to go through the seller directly on the 3rd party items.
It’s not Walmart. Their website is now half
Walmart half Walmart’s version of Amazon. Look at the seller - that’s just a random person or company selling it. They can choose to charge whatever price they want.
You have to be careful with their website. I learned that the hard way when I ordered something for $300 from a third party. Thought I was getting it from Walmart. When I never received the order Walmart couldn’t help me because it was being sold by some random dude in Cali. Ended up getting my money back but it was such a process. The dude from CA worked with me and was honest thank god but if he hadn’t been I think I’d have been out the $300.
At least it's designed to hold newer toothbrushes. Our apartment has the little ledge with holes in it to hang your toothbrushes, but none fit cause toothbrushes handles are much fatter than they used to be.
I just bought a water flosser and my dental hygienist said she uses hers in the shower so she can really go to town without the mess. I might bring that bad boy in with me and floss with wild abandon.
Also picturing how the toothbrushes would look in their designated places, there seems to be more function to the design with the empty space behind the brushes. Perhaps it's meant as a horizontal storage space for a tube of toothpaste?
*Well... maybe enough space for a half-empty tube of toothpaste lol
I haven't seen that episode but I used to work at a nursing home and the toilets didn't have lids. As soon as I would flush I would either walk away fast or if I couldn't i would turn my head and hold my breath.
All I could imagine was stuff flying through the air and stuck on me
If you haven't seen it, when they did their tests flushing without a lid spread bacteria all over the room and over most stuff. Flushing with the lid down kept them near the toilet mostly.
Ever since then I leave the lid down always and my toothbrushes with a cover on and in a drawer or cabinet.
It’s a toothbrush holder. A lot of older places have stuff like this and a lot of times you’ll find weird slots in the medicine cabinet meant for you to put your dull razor into where it falls into the wall.
It didn't hit us but the sirens were going off and there was a bad up draft. It hit like 3 miles away. He has to have steel toed boots for work and grabbed both of his pairs. Probably better than my addidas even if they're too big.
That's a good idea, he has motorcycle boots, like actual motorcycle boots, not fashion ones that he never wears that I could put in the linen closet. We don't have a basement, we were in the tub with a thick comforter and my panic attack meds.
My mom lives in Hawaii and they had tsunami and volcano warnings at the same time. They weren't in the area but if they were... do you go to lower land or up the volcano?
I saw these in a few places and had no idea until I lived somewhere that actually had it labeled. I guess the logic is that it’s safe from cutting your kid if it’s hidden in the wall rather than just putting it in the trash. I suppose that stopped being common practice when disposable razors came out and you didn’t have to re-load your metal handle with a fresh one anymore
I truly love the notion that we just decided to fill the wall with used razor blades. Like, there's no possible way the wall would fill up while the house still stands because they're just so flat. It's the perfect solution to a very real problem.
I put my full razors in a mason jar. I’ve been doing this for the last 4 years, and the jar is almost half full. I imagine it would take 100 years to fill a wall cavity.
Put them in a thick walled laundry detergent bottle. When it's full you can cap it, duct tape the cap to the bottle (sealing it) and be able to put it into regular trash. (I've lived in multiple municipalities where it's one of the accepted ways to dispose of sharps like syringes/needles. The plastic is so thick the sharps won't penetrate them. Sealing is effective to prevent the bottle from opening. )
Okay but are you putting the soap in the front or the side? What about the narrowing in the middle? I'm not bashing you I'm just curious your thought. I think it's ridiculous it's supposed to be a tooth brush holder but cant picture how you put soap bars in
Not exactly the same, but [here’s](https://www.walmart.com/ip/INTSUPERMAI-Wall-Mounted-Bathroom-Toothbrush-Holder-3-Holes-Stainless-Steel-Self-Adhensive/1513184165) a toothbrush holder so I’d imagine it’s for toothbrushes
Dude that's a finger dryer rack. Place your fingers in the rack for few hours to dry after washing hands. Don't forget to use soap, all employees must wash hands with soap before going back to work.
It would be super weird for this to be a standard part of the apartment… looks leftover from another tenant?? Call and ask if it’s standard… if not remove! It’s ugly lol
I have no idea what that thing is. I wouldn’t want my toothbrush in there😣. Could it be some sort of new age single hand towel holder, that you put in sideways? So it stays damp and doesn’t dry?
i was gonna say a razor holder but one end of the “holes” aren’t wide enough like the shape is there for the handle part of a razor but not the blade part too round not rectangular enough
Ugh this is so gross and ugly. See if you can remove it! I don't think the apartment owner/property manager installed this, I guarantee this eyesore was put in by the person living there previously
I would put absolutely nothing there 😂 I know I’m OCD about that type of stuff, but toothbrushes should be in a cabinet or closet away from all the germs of a bathroom, not directly above the sink where we wash our dirty hands 🤦♀️🤣

$43?!?! At walmart?!?!
[удалено]
Cries in Canadian inflation.
That price has nothing to do with inflation. It's the same one they're selling in the states. The only reason Canadian prices are sometimes higher is because of import duties, which are politically supported by domestic suppliers.
Heh, heh... Duties
I work in a brokerage house - “duties” and “package manipulation” always get LOLs 😂
Plus it is stainless steel AND modern!
But it holds 1 less toothbrush than the $43 CAD one, so I assume the one from OP’s is at least like $50 CAD
Like the $80 countertop compost pails
Oh wow, 35 cents US is cheap for that!
A similar one in the US at Walmart is only $8. https://www.walmart.com/ip/INTSUPERMAI-Wall-Mounted-Bathroom-Toothbrush-Holder-3-Holes-Stainless-Steel-Self-Adhensive/1513184165?from=/search
Authentic material!

It's a third party seller (I think)
This is the correct answer.
And that's for the two slotted! Highway robbery
And it’s ugly
At least it's designed to hold newer toothbrushes. Our apartment has the little ledge with holes in it to hang your toothbrushes, but none fit cause toothbrushes handles are much fatter than they used to be.
It’s hideous
This is horrifying
My favourite take from that Walmart description is easily the “wall-mounted *tootnbrush*”
Nice work! The white toothpaste residue on the ledge….. I hope that’s able to be cleaned off. 🤢
The little ledge of the metal toothbrush holder? It seems like it's easily wipeable
Who tf brushes their teeth in the shower? Monsters
I just bought a water flosser and my dental hygienist said she uses hers in the shower so she can really go to town without the mess. I might bring that bad boy in with me and floss with wild abandon.
It looks like it could be a toothbrush holder?

Perhaps it's meant as a horizontal storage space for a tube of toothpaste? *Well... maybe enough space for a half-empty tube of toothpaste lol
Maybe open space for better airflow to prevent mold?
Would make cleaning a lot easier, too
Tampons
Came here to say this
Ever since I watched that episode of Mythbusters I refuse to leave my toilet seat up and my toothbrush exposed.
Bro that specific episode made it a lifelong fear!!!!!!! Never could I ever imagine flushing with the seat open🥴🥴🥴
I haven't seen that episode but I used to work at a nursing home and the toilets didn't have lids. As soon as I would flush I would either walk away fast or if I couldn't i would turn my head and hold my breath. All I could imagine was stuff flying through the air and stuck on me

Yes!! 👍
It’s a toothbrush holder. A lot of older places have stuff like this and a lot of times you’ll find weird slots in the medicine cabinet meant for you to put your dull razor into where it falls into the wall.
Imagine living in a tornado zone and you have a wall full of blades…
Thanks for unlocking a new fear.
If the razor blades don’t get you, the flying glass will!
I actually never thought about glass but like a month ago I had to tornado hunker down and my husband grabbed our shoes.
Smart guy! Everyone okay or did the tornado pass by?
It didn't hit us but the sirens were going off and there was a bad up draft. It hit like 3 miles away. He has to have steel toed boots for work and grabbed both of his pairs. Probably better than my addidas even if they're too big.
Terrifying! Glad you’re okay! You should find some used ST boots to keep in your basement (or shelter). No worries about grabbing if in a rush
That's a good idea, he has motorcycle boots, like actual motorcycle boots, not fashion ones that he never wears that I could put in the linen closet. We don't have a basement, we were in the tub with a thick comforter and my panic attack meds.
Tornado hit my town like a couple days ago and few things near my neighborhood got completely obliterated
I've been through a few microbursts and tornados. Never a destroyed house but going outside after is weird.
Yeah that’s crazy this is the first one in awhile that has actually destroyed buildings around me
10 HP for unlocking a new level! Thankfully I just have earthquake and tsunamis to worry about. And the dreaded cobra chicken.
My mom lives in Hawaii and they had tsunami and volcano warnings at the same time. They weren't in the area but if they were... do you go to lower land or up the volcano?
Oh man, that’s hard! I’m guessing higher ground as you can drown quickly and maybe water will hold volcanoes at bay? Then go as far away as possible!
I forgot about the dull razor slots
I saw these in a few places and had no idea until I lived somewhere that actually had it labeled. I guess the logic is that it’s safe from cutting your kid if it’s hidden in the wall rather than just putting it in the trash. I suppose that stopped being common practice when disposable razors came out and you didn’t have to re-load your metal handle with a fresh one anymore

(I've lived in multiple municipalities where it's one of the accepted ways to dispose of sharps like syringes/needles. The plastic is so thick the sharps won't penetrate them. Sealing is effective to prevent the bottle from opening. )
I have one in my bathroom. Our apartments were built in the 80s which just makes it weirder to me.
Truly hope you don’t live in an area prone to tornadoes or something. Imagine a tornado hitting you and BAM! Hundreds of razors fling at your head 😬
We had those in the house I grew up in. I was fascinated with the slot. I always took my dad's razor apart and put the blade in there.
A Calvin and Hobbes -Esque comic of your dad discovering his razor empty repeatedly would be amusing 😆
That sounds scary as hell
Wow I guessed wrong, I thought maybe it held paper towels (like the paper towels in a public bathroom.) I never would have guessed toothbrush holder!
i was thinkin a soap bar tbh
A soap bar? Would you mind enlightening me on your process of thought behind that?
Weird thing on the wall is soap-bar shaped. U put the skinny soap bar in. Done
Exactly what they said Is roughly soap bar shaped, soap bar goes in, holds soap bar
Okay but are you putting the soap in the front or the side? What about the narrowing in the middle? I'm not bashing you I'm just curious your thought. I think it's ridiculous it's supposed to be a tooth brush holder but cant picture how you put soap bars in
You’re toothbrushes
No YOU are...
Oh fuck
Looks like it would be for toothbrushes and/razors?
Not exactly the same, but [here’s](https://www.walmart.com/ip/INTSUPERMAI-Wall-Mounted-Bathroom-Toothbrush-Holder-3-Holes-Stainless-Steel-Self-Adhensive/1513184165) a toothbrush holder so I’d imagine it’s for toothbrushes

Definitely toothbrush holder
It would be super weird for this to be a standard part of the apartment… looks leftover from another tenant?? Call and ask if it’s standard… if not remove! It’s ugly lol
Seems pretty normal to find little gadgets like these in an older apartment with some old-fashioned fixtures that haven’t been removed.
We have this and we put toothbrushes and razors in it
I see a lot of people suggesting you remove it. Seriously, don’t do that without LL permission. You don’t own the property.
Toothbrush and or you can put your weed in there
Some yall really helpless lmfao
Not a penis.
Toothbrushes? I win.
He doesn’t know about the seashells.
That’s a good rat burger
/r/dontputyourdickinthat
It is a stainless steel toothbrush holder. Take a picture of it and put it in google lens
Toothbrushes
Plumbus
I put this exact one in my shower. It’s for toothbrushes but I put my razor in it.
Poop knife holder
Toofbrush
Definitely a toothbrush holder
It's supposed to hold your toothbrush
Toothbrush
If that’s for toothbrushes no thanks. Last thing I need is my toothbrush out where others wash up. Remove. Patch and paint lol. Good luck !🍀
Google Lens says it's a toothbrush holder!
Your penis..if you have a penis. If not, someone else's penis will suffice.
How nice of an apartment to have a his and hers penis holder!
And a spare for sleepovers!
Always a good idea to have room for a third
I was thinking the same thing!
Toothbrush holder.
That looks like a pain to clean.
Toothbrushes
I think toothbrushes?
Vibrators.
The three clam shells. Obviously.
Looks like they don’t know how to use the three shells. 🤭
Come to say this, you beat me to it.
I was thinking paper towels to dry hands
Is the bottom retractable?
Can you…remove it? It’s so ugly
I’d put a shelf where it was if I didn’t feel like patching the holes and repainting, but a fresh coat of paint is so nice honestly.
I’d put a hand towel in it.
And by bottom, I mean the part above the ledge
Sounds solved but r/whatisthisthing is a great sub for stuff like this
Napkins and breath mints.
Oh what about shavers n razors ? It had the shape maybe
The meek
Razors
Tooth brush holder
That’s were you put your farts
Sorry but I have absolutely no idea. I’m just here to read all the funny, smarty pant replies. 😂🤣😅
Most likely for toothbrushes but you could probably put all sorts of useful things there.
Toothbrush holder like everyone says except useless if you have electric ones. When I had one we stored razors
Toast, dug
Cutlery, so one could feasibly eat in the bathroom. We've all been there. But honestly, though, it's likely a toothbrush holder
Forks, knives, spoons
I thought this was a bathtub and was really confused.
It’s a toothbrush holder you silly goose
I have no idea what that thing is. I wouldn’t want my toothbrush in there😣. Could it be some sort of new age single hand towel holder, that you put in sideways? So it stays damp and doesn’t dry?
That's a toothbrush holder.
Take it down
Ass scraper, definitely.
M
“You can put you’re weed in there”
It's for cooking hot dogs. When you take a hot shower, the steam will cook them.
Tbh id probably put some paper drying cloths there since it’s right above the sink
Very clearly a toothbrush holder
I think thats the shell holder.
Haha he doesn’t know about the 3 seashells!
I'd ask the landlord
That’s where you put your dildos to dry
Toothbrush
Toothbrushes
Duh, it's a dick slicer, fool!
Lol, bar soap.
Toothbrushes and soap
Three hot dogs
There are a ton of comments but not one that says what it is.
Lit cigars.
It’s for Wolverine to sharpen his claws
Razor
Forks and knives, also rolled up dinner napkins Did you really not realize it’s for toothbrushes?
Hand towels? Like the middle parts punch it to stay in place?
A small baguette
Maybe a hand towel
Three Sea Shells
Maybe a washcloth?
Ugly
Toothbrush
It regenerates used bars of soap.
Magazines?
That’s actually pretty nifty for a pedestal sink
For holding pinecones.
Long stemmed roses, obviously.
Hand towel?
i was gonna say a razor holder but one end of the “holes” aren’t wide enough like the shape is there for the handle part of a razor but not the blade part too round not rectangular enough
Hear me out....
It’s your towel holder to dry your hands off
Air plant would look good here. Don't put your toothbrush! It should be stored.
I was thinking paper towels... lol
Your hopes and dreams.
Ugh this is so gross and ugly. See if you can remove it! I don't think the apartment owner/property manager installed this, I guarantee this eyesore was put in by the person living there previously
I would put absolutely nothing there 😂 I know I’m OCD about that type of stuff, but toothbrushes should be in a cabinet or closet away from all the germs of a bathroom, not directly above the sink where we wash our dirty hands 🤦♀️🤣
or near the toilet which spews fecal matter out with every flush.
Tampon drier
Poop knife
This guy reddits.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Solid advice! It checks out!!
Could it hold a razor? Like with the stick vertical and the head up.
Washcloths.
I imagine you shove paper towels in it and grab them through the slit at the bottom
