BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

It takes a little elbow grease, but if 10,000 Biters use every last bit of toothpaste in a tube, we'll save about 1,000 tubes of toothpaste.

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACT

 

 

A 2006 survey found that the second most common bathroom-related pet peeve is finding globs of toothpaste in the sink (first place goes to people not replacing toilet paper when it runs out).

Does your toothpaste get wasted?

The BiteThe thing is, the tube's probably still loaded. Most people dump product containers before they're empty, so next time you go to toss that lotion or toothpaste tube, squeeze, cut, invert, shake, or water down, and raise your glass to less waste.The Benefits

 

More cash for vino. Save yourself from buying more stuff than you need. Sipping away at waste. About 10% of your toothpaste goes unused if you don't squeeze out every last bit. It's as satisfying as getting to the bar during happy hour. You paid for it; it's yours, so why not take advantage of the whole shebang?

Personally SpeakingThis tip came to light during the early months of Ideal Bite, when our cofounders were more broke than MC Hammer.

Wanna Try?

 

Cut It Up - cut your toothpaste tube or lotion bottle in half - you'll be amazed how much is left inside. Shake It Up - add a little water to your shampoo, conditioner, or liquid laundry detergent bottles, then shake it up, baby. Turn It Upside Down - store containers upside down in your fridge, cabinet, or shower, and let gravity work for you. Warm It Up - shower with bottles; the heat will soften the product inside. Tube Wringer - heavy-duty, wringer-outer to help you get out the last bit of toothpaste ($12-$22). Squeezit Toothpaste Squeezer - less expensive, lighter-duty squeezer ($6).
