World Domination
You do some background checks on local toothbrush companies, and stumble upon and brand called Bendy. Like you, the Bendy boys are still battling through the back of the pack, fighting for recognition.
Your sources tell you that they're working on a brilliant new idea though - flexible toothbrushes!
"That's right", beams Bendy's CEO, Paul Brush, when you meet to discuss the merger, "Bendy prides itself on kicking off a potential revolution in the dental hygiene industry by manufacturing a flexible toothbrush prototype, which combines an aluminium-titanium alloy with a newly-created polymer. There's a preliminary version on the shelves already, but our new product is under continuous development, as we believe we haven't yet reached the optimal level of 'bendyness'." He beams again.
"Would you like coffee, Mr Brush?" chirps Candy, your secretary, standing by the door.
"I'd best do without," insists Mr. Brush, "else Mr. Merlock and I may well have need to develop a 'dental stain-remover' during the remainder of our meeting!" He chuckles goofily, and you find yourself considering whether this meeting was such a good idea. You thoughts hit a wall, however, when he continues his monologue.
"The sight of coffee makes my teeth squeeeeal with fear! But pleeease accept my gravest apologies, if I am in any way acting ungratefully ... I am sure you do make exceptional coffee by anyone's standards ..."
An hour passes, and you still haven't got down to business yet. Eventually you begin to round things up ...
