Hey Ron, No one FORCED you to buy toothpaste ala dildo!  So you tried it and you
didn't like it.  Big deal, one day you have to borrow your roomate's toothpaste,
don't CRY about it.  If you had half the sense God gave a dildo, you would have
crammed a toothbrush up the end of the pump and squeezed out a couple of more
brushings out of the thing.  I've done it; it works, so stop complaining!
Another alternative is to take the thing apart to get the last drops out.  All 
you have to do is crack the cheap plastic at the top.  I did this once to see
how these marvels of packaging convience work.  In the top is about 2-3
brushings of toothpaste.

So you tried something and you didn't like it... well don't BUY IT ANYMORE!
This is a free market system, the consumer votes by buying what he likes and
passing on what he doesn't like.  If enough people don't like the bloody things,
you won't see them anymore.  I happen to like the things... they are a lot less
messy, and you don't have to bother with micro-mini caps.  If you are such a 
miser that you can't afford having two tubes of toothpaste in case of
emergency, CRAM ONE OF THE THINGS UP YOUR ANAL ORIFICE!!!

Maybe you don't need it or want it, but maybe other people do.  WHO DIED AND
MADE YOU DICTATOR OF PUBLIC OPINION?  You obviously don't understand the
concept of invention: someone invents something, and people try it; if they
like it, it is successful.  If you had not liked the first airplane or computer
because it was inconvenient and not like the old way of doing things, NOTHING
WOULD CHANGE!  Keep you asinine opinions to yourself.

That felt Sooooo Goooooooood...
