      Okay.

      How much is your time worth? How much do you sell it for (also known as wages)?

      Could you sign up for Uber, deliver a single rider and make more money with that time than you will ever save by doing this?

        It’s less production and more catharsis. And it’s going to cost me an hour of my life in total. This comment took longer to compose than a round of snipping and scraping and I hardly feel bad about that.

    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?

      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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
