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.

As someone who has had an entire tube of toothpaste erupt in my luggage courtesy of American Airlines, I understand why the screw-top still exists.

Should Ideas and patents be free OP? Do you fill the flip up cap tubes with the toothpaste from screw on toothpaste tubes?

The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

Wait why are people buying teeth in paste form? Just buy normal solid teeth and turn them into a paste later if you need.
