Warning Deep Thought

Recommended Posts

What is the unit of measurement that you would use to describe the toothpaste that you put on your toothbrush?

 

On the directions for use on my TP carton and tube it doesn't refer to the amount that is needed in any particular measurement.

 

Would it be serving? Dash? Dab? Dollop?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am not talking about the tube itself, but how many units of measure are in the tube

while I could see dollop being used, I personally think a dollop is just a bit too big.

I dunno, maybe cause toothpaste comes out of every tube in a uniform way, maybe the serving size should be inches/cm's of paste?

such as "serving size = 2cm", and therefore, the tube holds x amount of servings? or maybe instead of "serving" it should be dose or something"....

Dose size = 2cm :banana:

how would you explain it to a child you are trying to teach to brush his teeth.

I'd say to just squeeze the tube till the toothpaste covered the bristles of the tooth brush, then show the kid an example using your tooth brush, and then have him/her do it to their tooth brush

I am dumber for having read this post.

 

Jeez guys, you should really sign up for a remedial Earth Science course (like they had in 8th grade?).

 

Then you might learn the difference between volume, mass, weight, length, etc. and the means to quantify each.

 

HTH.

i just squirt a few ounces into a wad of toilet paper, then roll it into a ball,

toss it into the maw and chew for 5 mins and swallow.

that is what I am asking.... how is toothpaste on a toothbrush measured?

Vol/Mass/weight/length?

 

how many "uses" of toothpaste does a tube contain?
