I have long been inspired by the toothpaste squeezer that has been around forever so I dont know who gets the credit for it. Anyhow, in Peru, people live more intelligently and food usually comes in a bag or 'sachet'. No glass or cans or boxes so there is very little trash. That said, squeezing everything out is a chore and this really helps. This is first run and I'll update in a few days with an improved version. Food or paint or? Adding this to your bag collection puts you one-up on the next guy.
