the toothbrushes sold the worst

Things I’ve seen people selling on the Seoul Subway:

-lint brushes
-cd compilation sets of familiar English songs being sung by unknown people
-battery powered tops with flashing lights
-garment bags
-cd holders
-toothbrushes (packs of four)

Usually it’s a man in a suit who gives a very long speech about the product in question, followed by a demonstration. Of all the above products, the lint brushes sold the best, and the toothbrushes sold the worst.

    (…that is, assuming you meant a piece of clothing as opposed to a child’s toy…i vote for the shirt.)

    Sorry — child’s toy. I should have been more specific.
