Damn you can afford a car!
Defnitely a wheel, not necessarily a car
Defnitely at least half a wheel
FTFY
Definitely at least a side of half a weel

Nah, just gotta wait for the neighbor to go to work.
You have neighbors who can afford a car?
Fancy pants using brand name toothpaste.
Fancy pants not using straight fluoride
Did they take that toothbrush to a belt sander?
They’re just British.
You haven’t felt the struggle until you’ve taken the baking soda from the kitchen to brush your teeth with until payday. Extra points if it was a refrigerator deodorizer.
One time I was so broke that I smashed my gel deodorant with a hammer to get to the last of it that wouldn’t come out by twisting the dispenser wheel. Then I used my hands to apply the gel for a few days to get me through to pay day.
Flashbacks of grad school!
My family used to do that, but mostly because they were penny pinchers. Like we had money to buy toothpaste, they just wanted to save it for some nebulous reason. They also paradoxically used up a fuck ton of toothpaste every brush and that’s why they ran out so often. I just used a pea-worth and managed to stretch it out
Be cautious with doing this too often though. Baking soda has the same hardness as dentin and can wear away teeth with exposed dentin even more.
I was watching the show Good Times about the struggle of poor black family. But after some episodes I felt it wasn’t realistic and the family isn’t really poor.

Just get a tube squeezer
I use the back of a comb. Very satisfying
Or the side of a drawer if you have them in your bathroom.
I never got why people get so bent out of shape from people squeezing from the middle when it only takes a couple of seconds to force it all towards the nozzle.

My tube squeezer just lives on the tube, no extra clutter.
Can we make toothpaste tablets a thing finally ffs.
Glass jars with tablets that break under a bite and then foam like tooth paste with fluoride and shit. You can get them online.
It’s less wasteful since the jar is reusable and doesn’t contain plastic. And you don’t have to go to extremes to get the last of the paste out of the container.
Have you got a link to what you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of these.
There’s like a ton if you Google, Bite fits the description they gave and they also have deodorant apparently, or maybe byhumankind? Seems like you have options.
I looked up “toothpaste tablets” and found a bunch, but unfortunately none that I’d be able to buy locally. I feel like Amazon sending it to me in a plastic bag is probably more wasteful than buying regular toothpaste at a local store. Cool concept though!
Uber: I’ll pick you up in 5 minutes
Me: oh no. I don’t need a lift. Just bring a Starbucks coffee and drive over my toothpaste tube. I’ll give you 10% tip and 5 stars
