Bad news: the tooth fairy is going out of business effective October 1. As always, Manhattan Infidel has the scoop.
The Tooth Fairy announced today that effective immediately he will begin winding down business and will close his offices completely by October 1st. After October 1st children are advised to “not lose their teeth.”Read more here.
“Times change” said the Tooth Fairy in a released statement.
My business model was no longer profitable. I got into this as a temporary recycling gig. Kids would lose a tooth, I’d give them five cents and then I’d take the tooth and sell the enamel at great profit to myself. Kids loved me because they got five cents, which was worth a lot back in the day. Parents loved me since they didn’t have to spend anything. It was a win-win for everybody. But that was a much simpler time.
Starting in the 1980s the Tooth Fairy started to lose business as kids were no longer leaving their teeth under their pillows.
Kids started to get a feeling of entitlement. Their parents all had dental insurance so they usually just threw the tooth in the garbage and went to the dentist. Losing a tooth no longer was a special right of passage. Mommy and daddy would pay for a new one.
