Today's Review: The Aquafresh Pump Tube

For a few years now I have been suffering with my toothpaste tubes. The caps get dirty, and the paste coagulates, or I end up having to roll the whole tube up just to coax the errant splodges of minty goodness onto my toothbrush, 'cause I'm economic like that. But last week we bought a tube of Aquafresh, and my word is it so much better.

This isn't my first run in with marvel of engineering. Growing up we always seemed to have a tube of this stuff lying around. But living away from my parents I guess I got sloppy, and my choice of toothpaste tube reflected that. But no more. Here is a tube that forces the paste out at the push of a button, raising the base, and always managing to deliver a sliver of toothpaste that contains all three signature colours. tHe cap doesn't get dirty, no toothpaste gets wasted or left behind, even my kids can use this thing. I'm guessing Aquafresh patented this thing, because all the other toothpaste companies are still stuck in the dark ages, which is a damn shame. We should be living through a brushing revolution, with our flawless toothpaste tubes held high.

My rating: 5/5
