I hate the plastic tubes. They're fiddly awkward to use, especially as they get near running out. Metal was SOOO much easier. Just roll up the tube it stays rolled up. Just squeeze the metal it doesn't pop right up as soon as you release the pressure, but stays down. Basically metal packaging was right for the job. Plastic tubes are a poor, inadequate alternative, I hate them.It can't be due to cost, since so many drinks are still sold in metal cans, if it was down to the cost all the metal cans would be replaced with cheaper plastic alternatives, but they're not.So what is the reason it's only plastic for toothpaste now?
It is due to cost. Drinks used to be sold in steel cans and glass bottles, now they are sold in aluminum cans and plastic bottles, due to cost. You can buy a plastic clip to put on the toothpaste tube to solve your problem.
