Description
Have you ever wondered why some toothpaste come out of the tube in perfectly separated colored stripes? 🪥 It might look like a simple design, but there's some interesting science behind how it works!
In this video, we explore the history of toothpaste, the ingredients that give it its unique texture, and the science that allows different colors to flow together without immediately mixing. We'll also uncover what those little colored marks on toothpaste tubes actually mean—and whether they have anything to do with the ingredients inside.
