Last month, a student of mine told me that his family showed him an easy trick to get the last drop of toothpaste out.

I tested it at home. It works.

So we made a video about it. I have written a step-by-step guide below the video, but you should still watch the video. These boys are talented.

1. Put air in the tube by opening the cap and pressing the sides. Plastic tubes work best.

2. Close the cap and grab the end of the tube.

4. Open the tube and a plop of toothpaste would pop out, with force, in an unexpected direction. You’d need to try a few more times to get exactly how it works, so that it will land on where you want the plop…
