Ok well my girlfriend just turned around to me and asked how when you squeeze a tube of aquafresh it always comes out in stripes.... now we've looked on Google and even cut open a tube itself.... it seems for the most part that it is just put in in stripes...
Saying that if that is the case how does it manage to come out a smaller diameter hole than the tube's diameter and maintain this stripe pattern... I feel there must be an underlying engineering explanation!
What's more, surely if you squeeze one side more than the other it should mess up the pattern... but that doesn't seem to either...
I know I should probably be doing better things with my life, but now I have this puzzle stuck in my head I have to work it out....
Thought it might create some interesting discussion as well
