It’s not even the money, it’s the principle. I paid for it, I’m using it.

We always cut off the top of the tube at home simply to reduce waste. You can plug the body back on for the next time. I feel like these things are designed to waste 5% of the paste so we have to buy more frequently.

What do you mean? Are you reconnecting two halves of a cut tube of toothpaste somehow?

It's like some sort of grotesque toothpaste centipede thing I think.

[-] nadram@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Squeeze one side so it fits into the other :)

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You can roll the bottom with a hairpin to get more out of it so none of it sneaks between the sides and then, make sure to plunge the body into the cap to get that last 5% out. Less mess too.

This, but I'm spreading it on 3 day old bread for some flavour.

[-] Bruhh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Who the fuck puts toothpaste on bread?

The poors! Back off trust fund baby. The mint dulls the bitter taste of penicillin.

I'm not poor, I just hate going to the grocery store, and want to bide as much time as possible.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly you don't need to cut it open to do this. You can make a very effective squeeze by using the edge of a counter.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Even when I do this, there are three or four uses remaining up near the tip. No matter how hard I squeeze or what method I use, there is always some left until I cut it open.

That’s what she said?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a toothpaste tube cut open before let alone scooped out with a tooth brush

They're working smarter, not harder.

I wish I could afford a toothbrush.

[-] rockhstrongo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I wish I had teeth

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

I wish I was a baller

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This person so poor they know they can't afford dental care and will suck a dick for toothpaste to make sure they never have to have a dental school root canal. Young ones, don't learn this lesson the hard way.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, cum is toothpaste now? I can save so much money!!

[-] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Now, I am gonna open Toothpaste factory.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm so poor, I can't afford to pay attention.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

This seems more about efficiency. try rolling the body of it to waste less altogether. You can use a hairpin to keep it clamped. You could also use the hairpins to help push and keep the paste to the opening.
