That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)

No, they didn't test open VS closed.

It doesn't matter. You do whichever placebos you into feeling like it's better so you aren't stressed about all the shit particles you're breathing and scrubbing on your teeth.

Ah, it had no lid, and unfortunately that part of the end-scene is cut off on YouTube. It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-_KRh8asM

The control toothbrushes outside the bathroom had the same amount of fecal coliformes on them. That stuff is everywhere, it doesn't matter if you flush lid open or closed.

Damn that's new for me. Glad I have them in the cabinet anyway but this sucks
