The Magical Mystery Tour of my Shave Gel Tube

I have a magic mystery tube of shave gel.
Every morning I go to it thinking this must be the last of it.
And every morning it keeps giving me enough shave gel for another shave.
It has been doing this for over a week now.
I am afraid that it has been inhabited by evil spirits, or perhaps haunted in ways of which I am not aware of.
Therefore I ask you, clever people and scientists and army men and stuff, what the fuck is going on with my shaving gel containment device? Should I be worried that it may be contemplating taking over the world and sending me to the fields of dastardly failures?

It is very wicked, it is.
Spooky even.

Or is it normal? Do you also have containers, that just seem to go on giving, like a very giving go-on giving kinda giving person?

Good point, he was so much more competent than Clarence or Messenger 7013.

Its really quite simple. You know how there are all those black holes floating around in space? And stuff keeps falling into them? Well that stuff has to come out somewhere. There could be enough telegramuted stuff in there to last 1000 years.

I'm sure this has happened to me but can't think of any specific examples. I know I've been sure something was OUT and yet, no, there is more and more.

spooky, yes, but's it's better than the other way around. like how the last half of the gas tank empties a lot faster than the first half.

Once in a while I'll wind up with a product I don't 100% care for, but I don't want to throw it away because it's almost fine and it cost money, dammit.

Somehow, those packages manage to contain at least 10,000% more product than the good stuff. There was one bottle of hand soap (hated the smell and it wasn't nice and sudsy enough) that I swear had just half an inch left in the bottom for months.

And now that my favorite hand soap is readily available again I feel like I'm replacing it every week

My deodorant can has been like that the past month or so. I keep expecting it to expire, but it keeps spraying. The replacement can under the sink has been getting more and more anxious that it will never be its turn...

I had a tube of toothpaste like that once. It did eventually become empty. It's probably just Time Lord technology that accidentally got shipped to your local store.

I wish I had that problem with my weed stash. That stuff never lasts longer than expected.
