I started a new tube of toothpaste last night. I've never actually paid attention to how long a single tube lasts before. My wife and I use different kinds so it's just me using it, and at the end of a tube I can never remember when I had started it.

This time, I'm documenting the start of this tube so I'll be able to look back and verify when it was.

I have finally come to the end of my #toothpaste experiment. My tube is empty and it has taken 278 days.

#mundane

Made it to the end of the tube once again. This time, it took me 243 days. I need to be more judicious with my squeezing. #toothpaste

Just killed another tube. It lasted 248 days this time. I'm starting to think the longevity of that first tube was a fluke. How did it last ~30 days longer than the next two?

#toothpaste

R.I.P. toothpaste tube. This one lasted 231 days. I'm getting less efficient, apparently. Am I squeezing too hard?

@steve I'd be interested in how long it took from the it looks empty state to the completely empty state.

@Michkov It only really started to look empty to me about a week ago. I have had to employ some fairly extreme measures to get to the bitter end :)

Using the edge of a can of soup (of similar) to scrape the paste up the tube while against the counter is perhaps the most effective means of extrication I've tried.

@steve :) I nearly popped off the top one trying to get the last bits of paste out once, but I havn't used heavy machinery yet. Usually sucking out the last bits works fairly well enough.
