We all know how frustrating and hard it is to squeeze out that [last bit of toothpaste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-box-toothpaste) from the bottom of tubes. The Thrift Toothpaste Package design solves this problem with a quick rip of the rear.

With an easy cut-out tear and dotted lines at the end of its packaging, the tube creates a convenient solution that saves us from the hassle of rerolling the tube for that tiny last drop that we all want so badly. The Thrift Toothpaste package design is something I hope companies like [Colgate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colgatepalmolive-1) will adopt.
