Deja Vu: The Toothpaste Bowl Revisited

Back in 2005 we decided to see how long an average tube of toothpaste would last if we really were conscious of our use. We asked folks to bet on how long they thought it would last as well. Click here to find out how long it lasted and above to see the entire slideshow of pics we took each day (you can speed it up by changing the setting). Here are all the posts.

Is that toothpaste "key" made of plastic or metal? Does anyone know where to find a metal toothpaste key?

eh.. I could still get 3 off your your " finished" tube. If you haven't jammed those last little triangles of paste out from where they lurk behind the opening ( 2 days), then cut it open and rubbed the brush on the inner side of the tube, you're not 100% done, IMHOP. Can you tell I'm a latent Unimbomber/ will do ANYTHING to put off going to the drugstore yet? Also, what's with the mainstream toothpaste brand? I'd have pegged you guys for Tom's for sure.
