I mean, it's not like this pointy reverse end of the cap is something peculiar to inflight toothpaste.
BTW, and to stay on topic, has anyone actually found the mints in their amenity kits recently? The 'ingredients' listing on the plastic cover mentions mints, but my last three kits have not contained any.
In the UK toothpaste tubes aren't sealed, so I just unscrew the cap.
We do have a seal on tubes of tomato puree (paste) though, and use the pointy bit of the cap for those.
Today's amenity kit had the mints in the same wrapper as the toothbrush and toothpaste.
