Which size Colgate has a flip top?

[JeffersLos]

The last tube of Colgate I bought has a screw on top. It's very annoying compared to the flip top. I noticed this before and kept an old flip top, and screwed it on to a new screw on tube before. I told the helper to not throw it out when finished, to keep the flip top, so it can be put on to another screw on one should it happen again. It happened again. But the helper had thrown it it. Only to annoy me I'm sure. 

 

I asked the staff in the 7-11, but they didn't know or pretended not to care. I started opening the boxes but they physically stopped me. 

 

So now I need to buy a new flip top for my toothpaste. The 150 gram tube is screw top.

they weren't pretending. 

 

what makes you think you have the right to physically damage product in a store that you didn't purchase ? to suit your own curiosity you cause 7/11 to now be out of pocket.

The product wasn't damaged. No tubes of toothpaste were harmed in any way.

 

If the company don't want people to open the boxes, they need to openly state on the packaging if the product has a flip top or screw on.

Wrong!!!

 

Products with opened boxes are returned to the company to be repackaged without loss of stock to the vendor!

not wrong. 7/11 after you damaging their product needs to have a staff member sort through your mess. using man hours which they are supposed to be using to do their job. 

 

then they have to call a truck to come pick up all the toothpaste you damaged. that costs money. they have to log it into a system. cost money. etc etc 

 

what did the toothpaste ever do to you :)

Somewhere there is a tree whose sole purpose is to replace the oxygen that the OP is wasting. He should go find that tree and apologize to it.

Buy one of each to find out then you can use the flip top on the other tubes when you're ready to use them.

Yes, nobody on here knows. I have placed an order for a 35 gram tube for 18 baht to be delivered tomorrow. If it is not a flip top I will return it for a refund.

I can't quite believe what i'm reading.   How do some folks get out of bed every day.   

And is it just me or do others here get the feeling that AN is full of AI bots now. 

 

I trust you found your flip-top Colgate toothpaste ....

Hi my name is Kevin and I must admit to the same fetish...

I have a flip top cap for my Colgate Toothpaste that I bought 3 years ago (In the US) and religiously move from old to new tube...

Moved to The Pub!

 

I'm the exact opposite to our OP, I'd rather have the screw-top

 

I find that the flip-top thingies get glooped up and then won't close properly thus requiring disassembly and maintenance using warm water and a toothbrush to remove the hardened product.

 

Of course this wastes some of the costly product.

Of a long litany of stupid posts that I have read so far this year, this one is the most stupid of all, by a very long country mile.

Ordinary Colgate 75g - screw

Ordinary Colgate 100g - screw

Yes, this is how to do it.

 

Unfortunately my helper threw out the old flip top even after I told him not to. Perhaps in revenge for killing his dog.

Thank you. a 35 gram tube and 80 gram tube are on the way right now. 

 

Does the 60 gram flip top fit the ordinary Colgate tubes? Or are they different shape or styles of tubes?

So many people taking this seriously. If you are going to roast the OP at least be creative.

It fits on both of them,  i just tried. 

The 75g, I recently bought it at 7/11

The herbal detox one should be avalable at 7/11

The 100g one is probably from 7/11, too, not sure

Thank you very much. I will buy the 60 gram herbal detox tube if the 35 gram and 80 gram are screw on. I will show it to the staff at the 7-11 so they know about the products they sell.

And their care factor will be zero, much chatter will ensue though after you leave though... centered around the delusional farnag that tried to school them on toothpaste tops !

Why would you expect the staff at 7/11 to know what top is on which toothpaste in which sealed box. Would you buy an opened box of toothpaste?

 

There are 2 simple answers to your question

 

1   contact Colgate directly and they may know the answer

 

2 the easiest way is to keep the old flip top cap and simply replace it on the new tube.

 

Problem solved with no hassle.

 

You could have kept the old box or even taken a photo of it for the next time you buy a tube of toothpaste.

Where on earth did you get that nonsense from? It's a standard policy in the retail sector that if products such as this show any signs of having been tampered with, it is automatically destroyed. 

 

That is why the staff in 7-11 stopped you from opening the cartons and quite rightly so.
