FULL STORY: Oral hygiene seems simple. But if you’ve ever been in SOMEONE ELSE’S BATHROOM, you know that people can really complicate it. Beyond just lying about flossing.
A new poll asked over 30,000 people how they squeeze a tube of toothpaste . . . and 72% say from the bottom of the tube to the top, which makes sense.
20% of people say they squeeze the toothpaste out from the TOP of the tube, which doesn’t make as much sense.
This is a great time to ask: “Have you ever disagreed with someone you share toothpaste with about how it should be used?” 21% of people say YES.
Finally, people were asked: “How much toothpaste do you typically use?”
28% of people say they squeeze out about a full brush-length of toothpaste. That’s the BRISTLES part, of course. 31% say a little less . . . about half the brush length. And 32% say less than that, about “the size of a pea.”
And 4% of people are REALLY skimpy, using “an amount the size of a single grain of rice.”
The demographic that was most likely to use less . . . the pea or rice amounts . . . are younger females, living in the western U.S
