A Greek taxi driver has the world record for longest mileage in a single car: 2.9 million miles!

Greek taxi driver Gregorios Sachinidis from Thessalonica donated his 1976 Mercedes to the Mercedes Benz Museum Collection! It may seem like a classic Mercedes from the outside, but on the inside, more importantly when looking at the mileage, you will see that his car has 4.6 million kilometers on it!

The massive distance covered by this single taxi cab has been a milestone in convincing people that Mercedes-Benz cars can travel an extremely far distance before they need to be turned in! Since Gregorios Sachinidis was donating his car to the Museum, Mercedes-Benz decided to donate a brand new C 200 CDI to be picked up by him, whenever he feels ready after he returns to his home in Thessalonica!

Brushing your teeth BEFORE you eat breakfast is healthier for your teeth!

A recent survey revealed that 81% of people were completely unaware that brushing your teeth after you eat a breakfast which includes juice or any sugary foods can actually permanently damage your teeth!

The reason you can suffer from permanent enamel damage is because sugar foods and beverages make the enamel on your teeth weak, and if you brush your teeth immediately after your enamel is weakened, you can damage your precious teeth! So, what should you do?

Dentists recommend brushing your teeth BEFORE breakfast, rather than after. However, you can also lay off the sugary foods in the morning, wait an hour after eating to brush your teeth, or, have some cheese or milk to help balance out the acids in your mouth!
