Dear Mr. Colgate, CEO Man
(Sorry, if you are a Ms or Mrs or Something Else. I am gender identity challenged.)
First, let me say I am fully behind Giant Corporations. They are very good at hiring my men – and women. All those dozens who work at paying enough into Social Security to make me socially secure. I think of the interesting and sweet ones I met recently on the cruise – Margaret and Harry who worked for Nestle and Johnson and Johnson in the far off wonderland of Australia. Glad they had jobs. Glad they were on vacation. Glad they were paying for someone else’s social security. Or whatever goes on down there….
So much for being nice! Now what I want you to know…..
Your design for a toothpaste tube bugs me no end. In the first place, my tube starts looking like above insert, picture #1, shortly after I begin using the new tube. Day One until use, it stands up in a straight and patriotic sort of stance. Day Two starts ugly. By the time approx one half the toothpaste is used it begins looking like me. But I’m old; the toothpaste is not.
And I am tight as soot on Santa. I bend, fold, poke until I find myself mad at Mr. Trump. No reason for that I know, but when all else fails, do as the Democrats do. Get mad at Mr. Trump.
Then I say to myself, “Self, stop the idiocy. Contact Mr. Colgate. I’m sure he can redesign me a toothpaste tube that might just stand up in a nice little jar container and look real pretty there under my great grandmother’s hair necessities. Or, make a flat bottom which can bend over. Or, try some kind of powder. Oh, there’s an idea. I’ll mix the powder. Just insert wet toothbrush in jar…. (Works great, picture #2)
Thanks much, Mr. Colgate Man. It always helps to take one’s ideas to the man who can do something about ones’ problem.
And, by the way, if you see Mr. Trump, tell him you can now afford to hire a toothpaste tube designer fit to be used by those of us who still count our pennies (and wasted ounces left in toothpaste tube.)
Signed, An Ever Thankful USA Senior (Tell Mr. Trump that.) For you I’ll hold my thanks until I see what you come up with.
Sweet aroma 
Amen— toothpaste tubes need an engineering makeover!!!!
The day’s comments show lots of dissatisfaction with toothpaste tubes. 😀 Mr. Colgate Man better get new advisers.
Ok, so you’ve pulled out of the sea of delusional democratic hopefuls— let’s now work on being a CEO— toothpaste today, tomorrow the world 🤣
😀 Can you believe it! Our best hope Dem-wise. Mayoral failure from South Bend? or a Socialist? Or a corruption expert? Sure do hope God does not deign to see fit to give us what we deserve!
A homosexual mayor 😞
Oh, that’s diversity. Another First! And a wife at that! That would surely be respected by the nations of the world! Send wifey to deal with Un. I guess I’m being pretty snide, but the value system of the media and leftists is hard to take seriously. However, it is dead serious. Sorry to say.
Bahahaha! 😂
😀
Toothpaste tubes are useless. You like your jar method better.
That is the method I was raised on. 😀
I changed brands from Colgate because of that useless tube. I’m not any happier with what I have, so maybe I will start looking for the tin can of tooth powder.It might take a while. I just looked at the Vermont Country Store site, and they don’t have it. They’re usually my go-to for old stuff.
I have some old Post Magazines (50’s, 60’s). I wanted to look up some ads but got too occupied. I might do it yet. Or perhaps pay a grandchild to find them. That’s good. Ten cents per ad. Cheap, cheap.
I answered but I blew it out somewhere. Anyway, again. I have old Post magazines (50’s, 60’s). Maybe I’ll pay the grands to look up some ads for me. Would be interesting. If I do I’ll post what I find. Vermont Country Store, huh? I wonder about the Amish store in Branson.
I gave up on the tubes of colgate and such. I now purchase my toothpaste from Young Living as it does not have chemicals in it :). Those tubes are also easy to cut so you can get every last bit of toothpaste out of them….which I love because I do have Dutch blood. (translated…..thrifty or tight)
We might share some DNA. 😀
It’s those dumb flip lids..ours never close tight and so the paste crusts over and it’s a BIG mess every time you brush!! AHHHH
Mr. Colgate Man might need to hire several new designers! Hopefully one can do it right. 😀
Always press from the bottom and roll as you go.😂
I’ve tried to roll as I go but have never had success. Lost two ounces one time but gained it right back. Oh, maybe you meant roll “the tube” as I use it. That only works to the last inch of the tube. It’s that inch that makes me flinch!
Maybe a syringe will work better for dispensing to the last drop.
My brother-in-law suggested a soft soap style dispenser; sounds good to me. 😀
A lot will be left at the bottom that you won’t be able to dispense.
Dear Oneta, your post made me laugh because it sums up what some of us (indeed many) have thought but never put it in witty words…I’m not even going on the political side of it …Blessings and love. xx
😀 I love something I can be really cynical about! Without hurting too many friends.
🙂 I refuse to buy the stand-up tubes for this very reason. I buy the old-fashioned kind of tube and store it and our toothbrushes in a pretty mug inside our medicine cabinet.
