Awesome Toothpaste

You know the saying that you can’t put toothpaste back in the tube? Well, this is the part where toothpaste gets there in the first place. Factory Monster takes us on a tour of a highly automated Korean factory to show how machines blend ingredients and squirt the mixture into plastic tubes, which are then sealed and packaged.

After building a toaster that can un-toast bread, Joel Creates wanted to see if he could rewind time in another unlikely way. For his latest build, he made a machine that can pull toothpaste back inside the tube using a vacuum pump. It’s also the fastest way to apply toothpaste to 100 toothbrushes.

How to Make Everything went to a dentist and read up on toothbrushes and toothpastes to find out how to make the cleaning items from scratch. Needless to say, the results were nasty. The pig hair toothbrush alone was bad, but the toothpastes…

Now is the time on The Awesomer when we brush. Show your teeth they mean nothing to you with this odorless, flavorless, colorless toothpaste in a bland package. Wait. Do true nihilists even care about dental hygiene?
