Rossen roundup: Top consumer stories from the past week
Rawson reports, sharing hacks to squeeze out every last drop of what you buy right out. So your money doesn't go in the trash. Think about things like toothpaste or lotions or sunscreen. Anything with one of these like squeeze bottles. You can never really get it all out. Right. Well, we found this really cool thing on Amazon book. It's in my back pocket. Got two of these for 10 bucks, right? Two for 10. All you do to get the last stuff is you see the thing right over there, you stick this right in there like that. Then all of *** sudden you just twist this and this is how you get the toothpaste out. So let me open the top here, right? So you roll it around, look at it kind of rolls around in there and watch at the very end of the bottle. I mean, look at this thing up, boom. How cool is that? And I can, I can just keep going. Look at it'll give me right to the end. You would have thrown this out by now. You can get two of these for 10 bucks. Just search toothpaste squeezer on Amazon. Awesome. Next, your makeup is that tube of lipstick? Really empty. So this is one of my favorite lipsticks. You can tell I've really kind of used this down to the very end. My producer Ally showing you just how much product you're wasting. If you think it's empty, you are wrong. Check this out, there's *** little sticker here on the bottom, some lipsticks the way they're manufactured like this one, for example, there's this little hole here. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take just like *** makeup brush, anything like this that you can kind of do. Make sure it's clean first, we cleaned it off. I'm gonna put that through the bottom and look at how much is still in there. That's like *** whole another thing of lipstick. Are you kidding me? Now? Let's head to the fridge for your condiments like ketchup mustard and mayo. Yeah, it's always so annoying, isn't it? When you have that much left? It's like kind of on the bottom. You turn it upside down forever and it like never comes out. You're just like hitting the bottle. Watch the eu physics. This is really, really cool. I'm gonna look like *** moron but you'll be in the privacy of your own home. Don't do it on national television like me. So tighten this up. Ok. Tighten, make sure the lids very tight then watch this. You wanna go back circular motion and do this. I'm gonna ask my producer. How long do I do this for? I'm good. I'm good. Well, maybe I just like doing it. Ok. It's good. Arm workout. All right. And look, it's already all in the bottom. Look at that. It's all gone from the top. Come over here for *** second. Look at that right out. There are even many spatulas you can buy that. I found for things like plastic jars, squeeze tubes to help scoop everything out. I'm gonna give you some of those links.
