 Look at this. Perfection. You can open it with one hand and have you toothbrush in the other. No need to unscrew a cap, no more dropping that poo poo on the drain or having it bounce around your bathroom floor. What the gently caress? Why do some toothpastes still come with a screw on cap? gently caress you Tom's of Maine, that is what I'm trying to say here. And the toothbrush it came with wasn't very good too.

Dried toothpaste accumulates in the fliptop lid, until it doesn't close properly. Also the cap can break off from use before the toothpaste is used up.

The brand of toothpaste I like used to have a fancy flip up cap but after covid they have been cheeping out and sell only the screw-on type. I've been re-using the same flip up cap for the last 2-3 years. It feels like living through the decline of the roman era where once great and common technologies are now relics.

It's not hard to do other stuff with a hand that's simply holding a toothbrush, OP. Why don't you tell us why you really need a toothpaste tube that can be opened with one hand?

The cool thing about screw-on caps is that you can drop them in the sink and then be vaguely unsettled at the thought that there’s probably poo particles in the sink, which you just don’t get with flip caps. Which is probably a moot point because most people store their toothbrush directly across from the toilet.

While we’re on the topic of better caps, why did BIG MILK change the caps on gallon jugs? Remember the old ones where the cap was a scored one piece deal surrounding the neck with a pull tab that cleanly pulled away from the score and you were left with the perfect snap-on, snap-off cap? Now they are screw on with that lovely membrane deal underneath that says “PULL HERE” and 20 out of 10 times the pull tab rips right off and you have to stab the membrane with a knife and pull it off and it doesn’t all pull away cleanly and you’ve got chunks of the membrane stuck to the lip of the jug and the milk pours like rear end because of it and whhhhyyyyy??

Sure you say that now, but when you buy cheap bulk flip-cap toothpaste off Amazon and that fucker is stuck on there so tight and made so cheaply the drat thing slices your thumb down the middle when you open it... you'll never know trust again.

You pin the tube to the counter with your palm and unscrew the cap with that same hand's fingers. What else is op embellishing to create their narrative?

My toothpaste (euthymol) still comes in a recyclable metal tube so it only uses a little plastic cap and you get the immense pleasure of using the reverse of the cap to pierce the foil. It tastes loving wild though, I think it's mostly the eucalyptus. I learned to like it (I hate mint) but everyone else tells me it tastes like medical ointment.

Just switch to fresh delivered glass bottle milk, OP As a bonus, you can gently caress the milk delivery person(consensually, of course)

Life hack, if you buy accidentally buy a twist cap, just cut the other end off and apply velcro strips so you can flip it closed. This provides the added bonus of a satisfying tactile feeling and sound when you open it..
