# Random Toothpaste Experiments 23 Tubes, 1 Bowl By TrendHead | Published 2008-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paste-instead-of-waste References: [nuxx.net](http://nuxx.net/blog/2008/09/21/23-tubes-1-bowl/) I found this gallery of images from the ‘23 Tubes, 1 Bowl’ experiment. I bet it was fun emptying out all those tubes into a big bowl. What would make someone undertake such a bizarre experiment? Perhaps a random thought, like, “Hey why don’t we play with this [big pile of toothpaste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocolab) that is just sitting there in the cupboard. It is not our favorite brand anyway.” I mean, you could have given it to some needy teeth further down the street. But not everything has to be for charity. I say bring on more “just for fun” games and experiments! For what it’s worth, these [tubes were samples or expired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-pack), so the project is not a total paste-waste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Random Toothpaste Experiments:** Opportunity for exploring unconventional uses for dental hygiene products. - **DIY Beauty Products:** Potential to create homemade beauty products using household items. - **Reusing Expired Products:** Emergence of sustainability efforts through repurposing expired goods. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Goods:** Companies could offer unique experiments and unconventional uses for their products. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Opportunity to market natural and accessible beauty solutions. - **Sustainability:** Chance for companies to promote repurposing and upcycling of expired goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kid-Designed Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-toothpaste.md) - [Toothpaste Blind Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-box-toothpastes.md) - [Toothpaste-Dispensing Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onedone.md) - [Vibrant Fruity Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-brush.md) - [Biscuit Spread Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuit-spread-toothpaste.md) - [Wasabi-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasabi-flavored-toothpaste.md) - [Pickle-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-flavored-toothpaste.md) - [Buttery Toothpaste Sachets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-toothpaste.md) - [Sustainable Reusable Toothpaste Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimo.md)
