Toothpast tubes Jambutty .. problem with those metal ones were that they always seemed to split ... and toothpaste oozed out of these splits as well as the top. I get pump ones .. much easier, except on the odd occasion they don't pump from new.
Yeah Kate, bottom of the barrel is just an expression for getting to the end of something. Although . . . it seems that Costcos around here sell practically barrels of mustard and mayonnaise!

If I used those pump type of anything, I find myself (okay VERY embarrassing) cutting into them when they seem to be done to "get to the bottom of the barrel"
