When I was a kid, I remember going to a dentist and asking what "those little black dots" were on a toothbrush (when you look at the toothbrush from the front when it has toothpaste on, you can see the dots of each bristle). The dental assistant told me that the dots were "Cookie Bugs" and that is why I had to brush my teeth. I believed that for years.
