    We have solved the problem of how to get absolutely the last drop out of a toothpaste tube. What you need to do is let it fall out of your pocket and let your wife drive the car over it.

    It's amazing how far it goes and how much area it covers. :o

    Do you still clean your teeth with it? :D

    Why not - surely a bit of grit will help to shift any stubborn stains ;)

    And why do somersaults on your front drive?

    Ah, I see the Wide Awake Club's arrived shortly after the Loony Club :)

    Yes, why do somersaults when you have toothpaste in your pocket?

    Now I'm wide awake visualising that!

    I use toothpaste to clean my jewellery.

    I didn't know you could paint with it, though!...............

    You know all those "tips" telling you what you can do with old toothpaste... and old tooth brushes .... if you just saved them...?

    Well, I've saved them .... in jars .... and nobody tells you what to do with 3 years' worth when you've still not had occasion to use them :)

    You mean that you saved the toothpaste and brushes - but not the tips on what you can do with them?

    Well, now you know! You can let out your inner artist, Pastures!





    I save a lot of old toothbrushes,; very useful for jewellery, and cleaning nooks and crannies!
    I do need to get one of those tube 'keys'. Since they switched from metal tubes to plastic, you can't get such a good and complete squeeze out of the last bits of paste. The tube bounces back.

    Perhaps we need an indoor version of the car tyre. A toothpaste mangle, perhaps? :D

    Can't you box them in, so they can't get out until you move your car?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
