| 1367735 | 2014-02-16 20:03:00 | When I have finished using the last of toothpaste in tube, I defy anyone to get another dollop, am I alone in being so exacting? | Cicero (40) | ||

| 1367737 | 2014-02-16 20:14:00 | When I buy a tube of toothpaste I usually pay for 110 grams of toothpaste. I do my damndest to get them last dollops out. You are not the only Scrooge McDuck on this forum. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1367738 | 2014-02-16 20:30:00 | Hearsay has it Prince Charles had a manservant whose job it was to squeeze the toothpaste on to the royal toothbrush - and extract every last bit of it. Until Mummy went on a rampage of cost cutting and stopped it. | WalOne (4202) | ||
| 1367739 | 2014-02-16 20:48:00 | Nope Cic, you are not alone in this endeavour. This is why I consider the plastic toothpaste tube one of the great inventions of the 20th Century. Remember the old metal tubes, which we had to roll tightly from the bottom to get the last micrograms of paste. Now, a couple of swipes with the toothbrush handle along the tube moves all remaining paste north, and a good throttling grip at the neck of the tube spurts the last drop on to the brush. Much easier than in the days of Ipana, Kolynos and Pepsodent. (You'll wonder where the yellow went.....) These brands made their money from the toothpaste left in the tube, as did Colemans from the mustard left on the plate. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1367740 | 2014-02-16 22:20:00 | Perhaps an old wringer washing machine could help. That aside I also have as good go at emptying the tube. |

| 1367742 | 2014-02-16 22:54:00 | Hell no!!! You are not alone. We have a toothpaste squeezer gismo that I attach to the bottom of the tube. It comprises two pieces of plastic (one sits inside the other) with the inner piece getting rotated to drag (squeeze) the tube against the other piece. |
