No manufacturer will want that because it means the consumers will buy less. They do not care about how much is left behind because the sooner you throw it away, the sooner you buy another one. Why would a manufacturer invest in something that would require more packaging while causing a drop in sales? This is a product that should be marketed straight to the consumer as a money saver. But since it has to be manufactured in the bottle, its impossible to sell it to the consumer.

[@sirKAA]

Not exactly. Theoretically the sales should be bigger, because more customers would pick the product with upgraded tube.

[@Nekorasbeez]

Yeaah... I would still pick the cheapest one, or the one that I always bought. Wouldn't even notice the upgrade.

[@cirrus393]

sirKAA But generally products that come in tubes (eg toothpaste) come in various sizes, at various price-points (meaning the advantage of the upgrade will be washed out by all the options). Even more than that, the fact that customers will come back for more product at a later date means that sales will be lower, by definition. So I really don’t see how this would be beneficial for anyone.

wouldn't they buy your product vs others' when they save more money, ultimately giving you more business? it's like saying you want to be a gas station that doesn't give you 10% of the gas the guy paid for cuz the tube design and that way they'll need to come back more only if the packaging doesn't outweigh that cost of course

[@jemmaj2919]

@@jacobpeters5458 yes but gas here and gas there is the same! i will always go to the cheapest one since i dont buy the premium version anyway lol. If you are arguing that the identical products with that feature is more attractive to consumers, then, remember that the product will now either cost more which isnt attractive, or the product owner will be making less profit, as they have to pay the cost of this feature to keep the price the same. So why would this feature be desirable to product owners?

@@jemmaj2919 Well if I was looking at a shelf and I saw one with that feature, I’d definitely prefer that one. It might be more expensive, but I’m getting more from my money.

[@GwyndolinOwO]

@@jacobpeters5458 i think people can feel a bit ripped off if they find out that there is plastics/air in something that there doesn't need to be. like, using a roller or your fingers can be annoying but you can buy standard toothpaste and get every last drop out. the people that care about not wasting things are likely doing that anyway. If it was cheaper i wouldn't complain as much but part of the problem at least with this- is unlike products that just have air bubbles in them for protection you actually have to manufacture more plastic that can add to the price a little bit. It might not be much but basically you're paying more for convenience then saving money or the environment which is what these people were trying to push quite a bit. when you don't push what the product actually does it can tarnish your brand a bit. I don't think convenience products are bad but "USUALLY" convenience comes at a price (either quality or money) ((you can also buy toothpaste keys for like 5 usa dollars that are reusable so there's that too. that way you can still sell more product and the amount saved is usually just a week or two anyway so you're not losing your costumer base))

The real issue in getting all the product out is actually with plastic bottle containing soaps, lotions etc or food products.

[@ericomeli2235]

07.55 Actually, with the plastic inside, people will buy products less frequently as it will take longer to finish using the product every time. In the long run, less products (which means less outer and inner plastics) will be sold. On that basis, it should be environmentally friendly. One needs to do the analysis/math first though

Fewer.

You’d have to do the maths on if the plastic in the device would be less overall than the plastic outer packages you don’t buy. You’d also have to see how much product you’re losing out of putting the device.

She is targeting the consumer for the savings they will make without realizing there is very little incentive for the manufactured to incorporate it into their packaging. Consumer gets a sense of satisfaction by not wasting product at the end. What does the manufacturer of the product get? It would probably be cheaper to add an extra 10%, a longer tube, and declare it on the packaging than use her 'gadget' tube. They could even add a key gadget for the tube with a slightly higher price (like main/refill products) that you keep to use on a cheaper version you buy without the key instead of throwing away her whole tube.

Yeah this should have been an add-on you buy a pack of 4 for like 99p for toothpaste tubes. 1. Companies wouldn’t care if you lost 10%. Even pizza places don’t care if you eat 1 slice and left 11. You still paid for the 12 2. So it’s for customer saving money. Which means it would need to be on brands that cost less in general. But this leads to more cost for manufacturing so if any adopted it it would be higher end brands. Therefore costing more. 3. If people are desperate to get toothpaste out because of money issues. They would cut the tube open. Whether they should be expected by the corporate world to do that is irrelevant. Life is unfair. And a tube of toothpaste is the lowest unfair thing in the world to be concerned about.

This actually has applications in the US pharmaceutical area... US specifically because we pay outrageous prices for our medications, and I've paid $60-$200 for tiny tubes of prescription ointments that were only 2.5g / 0.01oz of medicine. ( "But, I have health insurance that pays for 90% of the cost, and either my employer or myself only has to pay $600-$1000 each month for it!" ) That's not the issue here. Each tube has a number of "doses" in each one. My insurance isn't going to pay for more than I "need" but I can't get the last dose or two out of the tube. ( There's a similar problem for those who have injectables... and can only get 8 doses out of their 10 dose bottle. ) We're already paying hundreds of dollars for these things... what's an extra bit to keep me from going totally ballistic with my doctor, pharmacist, and insurance because I can't get what I need?

The idea behind the product isn't a bad one. I think one of the main reasons it never took off after so much exposure was manufacturers figure cost into adding it in to every single tube they sell. And really this is an issue I personally don't have a problem with. One of the things the said was average people by a tube of toothpaste every month. Unless your sharing it with other people a single tube of toothpaste last a few months for me and I brush every day sometimes twice a day. Usually I buy the twin pack so it might be 6 months before I have to buy toothpaste again
