You’re meant to actually break that small part off and use it as a small holder for your toothpick. That way, you can put it down but not contaminate it until you’re ready to use it again. What a genius hack!

Spiky Caps

You may or may have noticed that a lot of tube containers have a cap that has a tiny little spike inside the hollowed out top. While these look like miniature torture devices, they’re actually incredibly useful for opening the package.
