In the old days, and not-so-olden days, toothpaste tubes were made out of some kind of metal, probably coated with some kind of plastic. Toothpaste tubes have changed. Now they have a small-print warning: 

This is not your grandfather’s toothpaste, Sweetie.

Now they are made from some kind of plastic that doesn’t stay where you put it. Forget rolling up the tube from the bottom to keep the front part primed and let you use every milliliter of the gunk. The new one just unfolds itself and laughs at you. “Hey, Frugal Freddie, the world has changed. This is not your grandfather’s toothpaste. Go to amazon and buy some more!”
