| 1321020 | 2013-01-02 01:35:00 | I was going to make a mini mangle wringer, along the lines of what the old folks used for their washing but in mini size. Never quite got around Tuit though | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1321025 | 2013-01-02 08:04:00 | Terry could probably whip you up a plan for a hydraulic chamber with the toothpaste tube mostly inside - just the nozzle coming out the end wall. Once you apply a bit of pressure to the chamber the last remnants of hermit toothpaste will squeeze out. Once the hydraulic pressure reaches 3 tonne per sq mm (Many giga pascals) it is safe to assume the tube is to all intents and purposes empty. Hi-vis jackets might be mandatory, or worse. The economics would be worthy of a Gov't project, that last clean of the molars extracted from the unwary tube might run at $15000 per chopper. Cheaper than a cycleway, and even more useful. |

I can see Terr at work as we speak. I am sure you have inspired him with that very practical suggestion. |

| 1321028 | 2013-01-02 18:53:00 | Personally no great length at all, always a spare tube in the draw and it's not high finance. I just slide my finger and thumb along the length of the tube to get out the last of it and when that no longer works I toss it. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1321029 | 2013-01-02 19:53:00 | After seeing the price of Colgate toothpaste (in its many varieties) yesterday, I am not surprised that this problem is one to exercise some of the finest minds in the firmament, not least of all in this fine forum. It is right up there with 'The Big Bang' and the existence (or not) of God, as a challenge to man's powers of reasoning, ingenuity, and intelligence. I'm confident that Cicero and Terry are capable of pursuing an elegant solution, as a prominent politician would say, and may well figure in nomination for a Nobel Prize, to join such luminaries as Dr's Crick and Watson, Isaac Newton and Galileo. Go boys!! |
