It's Genius: The EZ-Squeeze

Ask anyone who knows me my #1 pet peeve in life, and they'll tell you about my toothpaste squeezing habits.  I have to, have to, have to squeeze toothpaste, or any product in tube form, from the bottom of the container to the top, in a neat and efficient manner.  I absolutely cannot stand it when other people take my toothpaste and squeeze it haphazardly with their entire fist in the center of the tube - it will literally make a good day sour, so fast.  

The solution to my madness came from Dollar Tree, in the form of the EZ-Squeeze: a plastic device that makes everyone follow my crazy tube-squeezing habits too!  It's genius really - insert part of the flattened end into the EZ-Squeeze and it winds the emptied portion of the tube so that you're always left with the fullest part of the tube to squeeze.  I love how it's so efficient that it can help squeeze out the last drop of anything - seeing the flattened tube at the end of its life is one of life's little thrills.  I actually love it so much that at one point I found myself hoarding flattened toothpaste tubes - I quickly took a picture and threw them away before H called Intervention.

Who knew that something that could curve my OCD and give me such thrills is so simple and costs only $1.
