[Lifehack] 3 Secrets to Make Your Toothpaste Last Longer

1. As soon as you open a fresh tube of toothpaste, put a dab of Elmer’s glue (or standard epoxy) at the tip. This will make it nearly impossible to squeeze any of that precious paste out — in turn saving you hundreds of dollars a year.

2. DIY — Did you know how easy it is to make your own toothpaste? Follow these simple instructions, and you’ll be golden as a bear on steroids. Imagine that.

Put the following 9 ingredients in a blender on high for 4 minutes:

1. 3 parts lemon juice
2. 2 parts milk of magnesia
3. 1 part hot milk of magnesia
4. 5 parts sycamore leaves
5. 1 part sequins (for dazzle)
6. 1 part olive oil
7. 2 magenta crayons
8. 1 raw egg
9. 1 6″x6″ square of extra rough sandpaper

3. Limit the number of times you brush to once a week. A single, weekly, two-hour brushing session will conserve enough toothpaste to make one tube last you well over two years. With all the dough you’ll be saving, you can buy a boat.
