How many squeezes in a tube of toothpaste?

by gallori on January 22, 2009

There’s always one more squeeze, right?  How many more do you think I can get out of this?

I forgot to get toothpaste this week when I hit the grocery store.  Do you think this toothpaste would last until the next time I go?  It has to or I’ll be using those nasty Crest or Colgate travel tubes we have laying around.

I’ve been known to cut it open with an Xacto knife and open it out flat to get the last bits!

Oh my. Never thought of that one! But will remember it!

If you have a grozing pliers (metal w/ curved jaw–for stained glass) and you crank down on the tube you can always get another squeeze out. Whether or not you want something in your mouth that’s been close to your grozier is your choice. I’m still here.

You can get a “Tube Press” tube squeezer on eBay sometimes. Just search ebay for “Tube Press”
