Okay, what's the best way to squeeze toothpaste?

[Katastrophe]

What say you, fellow fretters?

I'm a squeeze from the bottom of the tube kinda guy. I'm kind of a tightwad, so I want to get every last toothpaste particle out of the tube before I have to go get more.

The wife, on the other hand, grabs in the middle and gives 'er a squeeze, when we have tubed toothpaste. We are currently using this gawdawful stuff with "breath strips" in it that's supposed to taste like sour apples, but just tastes bad. Blech.

Discuss.

A little bacon grease under the arms, and the sweat rolls right off. Ain't got no need for that "deeeoderaint."

It's hell going to a house with a bunch of dogs, though. Fer some reason, them dawgs'll chase ya 'round the block a time or two!

Same thing at my house. I'm a from the end kind of guy.
But the best way to squeeze toothpaste is with your hands.

A dab of toothpaste on your alloted one square of toilet paper would help freshen up things when you *squeeze* from the bottom. :

Uh...let's see....

Open toothpaste tube, lay flat on counter. Hold toothbrush near open end of tube. Ball hand up into a fist. Strike toothpaste tube squarely in the middle.

Blooz, somehow that look on your Nemo avatar seems to fit your post......

I get er done from the middle and then work up the end at a later date.

And that's exactly the look (and comment) my wife would have if I were ever to try something like that...

Actually, I read this morning that it's the 30 anniversary of the movie Animal House, and I had a sudden Bluto Blutarsky moment there when I thought of the toothpaste thing.

I chop off the bottom on new tubes so it doesn't all collect at the bottom. Once it starts to collect at the top, I pinch off the lower half and then use the cap end.

Thats actually a big pet peeve with me. I hate it when someone in my family squeezes the toothpaste tube from the middle. IMO it makes a huge mess.

I squeeze from the middle.

Luckily my wife squeezes from the middle, too, giving her one less bathroom based habit of mine to give me grief over. :

You are all so old school!

My toothpaste is in a plastic bottle with a pump and combines a whitening agent and mouthwash with the paste. No squeezing required.

...and as it's no doubt going to come up in the course of this thread...I use a rechargable electric toothbrush. Not the kind that plays MP3's that I saw on TV this morning, but if I see one of those in a store I'm so buying one.

GEEZ Pes! Are you crazy asking a question like that!?!? You don't want to know what might be next, and neither do I!

[Spudman***]

I'm very relieved that at least nobody has asked, "what's toothpaste." There is hope.
