There (somewhere ,probably here) exists a league of people who just cannot resist but try to squeeze out the last drop of the juice from a tetra pack or for that matter the last atoms of the dental cream from a toothpaste tube .
I think I too am part of this club.
If you'r my friend read on and if you belong to an elite group you can still join us with no sense of guilt because after all ... Am I stretching it too far ?
A tetra pack in your hand and a normal 250 ml juice pack contains very little juice . Anybody who does not agree ? On top of that the juice finishes very fast and it leaves the buyer in a state of an incompleteness . If you shake the tetra pack you'll hear a noise from the left over juice inside and the noise gives an intuition that the volume is good if not humongous (after all what the hell you want from a 250 ml pack)
No matter what you do that residual just refuses to come out . I've tried completely turning the pack upside down , squeezing it to an extent where vacuum starts building inside the pack , infact I've tried a number of other torturous things over these juice packs but they simply wont budge.
The juice at times has spilled over my face because of my endeavors but I insist on fighting it out .
If you are alone in your home or any home (the idea is to have a place where you do not have spying eyes of your fellow countrymen) you can try ripping the pack with a knife . This helps – I must tell you .
The problem arises when you are in a place where if you try all this you are looked down upon and then with a deep sense of anguish the only solution is to throw that juice pack with still a good amount of stuff in it.
I've experienced the same frustration while eating an ice-cream and then when its time to discard the ice-cream wrapper you observe quite a bit of the ice-cream sticking and then you try to look around and see if anybody else is also feeling the urge to lick the wrapper and when you fail to find company you annoyingly throw it away . We are living in bad times !!
Am trying to figure out if this is due to a middle class upbringing or bad table manners or just my animal instincts or am I normal when I have this “Leftover Agony” !! ?

i love your ariticles, but sometimes, some of them make me feel sad, as what you wrote is the very thing that i try to escape,i refuse to admit the dark side of this society, choosing to escape , so i am the coward, while you are the brave of life.
happens a lot when you are having mangoes.. u just dun want to throw off either the chilka or the guthli.. what the heck if u end up with mango all over your mouth and hands.. the most imp point is u enjoyed the 'complete' mango.. am sure u tried tilting the tetrapak and holding it upside down long enuf.. the last drop gen drops out that way ;)

i remember at IIIT we used to open all the sides of tetra pack, alas .. and we used to win few extra drops of alphanso ;)
hey why do you have to look at others to see if they are licking the wrapper or not.....
your life BOSS lick it all the way ;)
This is absolutely correct.. You always hear the noise but nothing comes out of that pack ever , no matter what you do . My next try would be cutting it with a knife . For Icecream wrapper , cannot bear watching it dripping off and not going into my mouth .. so go in a corner , lick it all and only then throw it .
