I was about to say that

Hi five!



Don't know if we are right, though....

 

[gentlegreen]

Wow!

You win!

A device for squeezing out a desired quantity of pasty contents from a collapsible tube. Two elongated members connected by a frame are provided with at least one resilient tongue disposed therebetween. The tongue is a U-shaped leaf spring having one side integrally attached to a respective elongated member and-another side being free. An opening is provided between the two tongues (or between the tongue and the other elongated member) with this opening narrowing gradually from a relatively wide entrance through which the sealed end of the tube is inserted to a narrow slot which exerts a pressure on the walls of the tube while the device slides on the tube. A slot, and more particularly the tongue(s) exerts a constant force on the flattened walls of the tube to prevent the contents of the tube from escaping through the slot into that portion of the tube which has been emptied.

I bet you all want one now. I have no idea where this one came freom though

I don't want one, because I buy those stand up pump action toothpastes. Much less messy.

I do like rolos, though. I am not usually allowed to eat them, because they are Nestle, but I am sure I am allowed to eat them if they are a prize!

My eldest daughter has a low-tech version that she uses for tubes of tomato puree. It's called a rolling pin.

But you're limited in your choice of flavours :-

 

[veracity]

I feel strangely let down. Thought it would be more exciting than that. It seems somewhat surplus - why can't you just squeeze the tube from the bottom up?

 

[laptop]

Isn't that usually spelled

Why can't you just squeeze the tube from the bottom up?!!111!divorce!!!!

[geminisnake]

I'm not going to guess coz I don't eat rolos coz they is nestle

I forgot I can't remember the last time I even looked at a packet of rolos. G2 - would you like an ethical gift instead? Send me a PM with your address and I'll send you some kind of Cadbury chocolate instead

He posted the first picture but g2 did say it first. I could stretch to two tubes of rolos (do you see my cunning clue now? Clever huh? Doesn't really work with a bar of Dairy Milk ) or some kind of ethical alternative if there's going to be tears before bedtime

 

[gentlegreen]

I didn't get it, it was just a facepalm moment !

Like I said, the curved bit with the hole in had me confused ....

I thought it was for peeling vegetables...

I actually had a really good idea for an invention just before I fell asleep this afternoon but I forgot what it was! grrrr

Really? Gentlegreen's post shows first on the thread I'm looking at.

Cadbury isn't chocolate

I'm glad I didn't guess now

You can get real chocolate in Lidl for cheap and it's loads better

You're just miffed because you thought it was a boot scraper, admit it

 

[harpo]

Nicely manicured thumbnail, btw.
