I have a complaint. I don't like flip-cap toothpaste tubes. After having several, I think they are awful. My current tube gets clogged with dried toothpaste even though I close the lid and keep it clean. I cant stand it. It's disgusting. This article is about the same toothpaste I use but disagrees with my assessment of the flip-cap.What do you think? Flip-cap or removable cap? Do you squeeze from the middle or bottom? Do you drive your spouse or roommates crazy with your toothbrushing habits? Yeah, I'm a hygienist and I'm actually interested.
I go either way about the top. I would prefer to squeeze the tube from the bottom, but ti usually gets squeezed int he middle. I do, however, roll the tube up as more and more toothpaste is used. I think, though I'm not sure, that may bug Catherine a bit.
ReplyDeleteI don't like flip tops, they get gunky and grody. I don't care about the squeezing, I just get the toothpaste out. If anyone does the rolling from the bottom thing, that would be my dear husband. Fine if you do, fine if you don't!
ReplyDeleteI say no to flip tops! Same problem on Hershey's Chocolate Syrup...you can't keep the chocolate off of your fingers when you open the top. Granted, it is a much lesser evil to lick the chocolate off your fingers when dealing with the Hershey's bottle. But, I completely understand your toothpaste flip-top frustration. :)
ReplyDeleteNo flip tops. yuck. So filthy dirty ... especially when children use them. *shudders*
ReplyDeleteI don't really care where I squeeze my tube from though. About halfway through the tube I tend to start squeezing it from the bottom. :)
I have been noticing of late how messy my flip-cap Crest is. I hate how it looks like a little kid is sharing toothpaste with me. As for the squeezing, I typically choose to squeeze from the bottom.
