What you are coughing up are the "metal staples" that toothbrush manufactures use to secure the bristles in the hole. Go see for yourself, take some pliers and pull out the bristles..

You may be right. I just pulled out some bristles from my Crest Spinbrush (they came out easily) and this is what the staple looked like. Compare his pic and mine, they are pretty close.

How are you guys getting your bristles out? I'm having a hell of a hard time. (I've also got a crappy pair of pliers)
