toothpaste tube
Squeeze for minty
A toothpaste tube is the squeezable container that holds toothpaste, typically made of plastic or aluminum with a screw cap.
The tube appears in expressions about getting the last bit of value from something, and famously in the observation that once squeezed out, toothpaste can't go back in—a metaphor for irreversible actions: You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
