There's like an urge in my body to squeeze it from the bottom that feels efficient and tidy and it messes my mind up when I use a toothpaste that somebody has squeezed right in the middle. I wanna know people's stance on this, so what kinda squeezer are you?
From the middle. But, I occasionally pull the bottom along the corner of the sink counter, squeezing it back up, and then roll the bottom so it stays "like full."
Same. When the tube is full I’m lazy, but as it gets more empty I’ll squeeze it against the corner of a cabinet like a crinkly dollar bill you need to get into a vending machine. I am always determined to get the very last bit out of the tube, and typically get close to a week’s worth of paste after my wife has already opened a new tube.
Does it even matter any more? Tooth paste tubes used to be made of metal so if you squeezed from the bottom they would hold their shape and you could roll them up as you used them.
Now they're all made of plastic and as soon as you put them down they expand to their original shape and the tooth paste flows back into the empty areas. The world is just going to absolute shite! :)
Like 95% of the reason that I buy the brand I do is because it still comes in the old foil tubes that I can push out from the bottom and roll up. It's probably confirmation bias but I feel like I waste less toothpaste that way.
The other 5% is because my dentist told me to use that specific brand.
