*Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach says that the first leniency is not true because the people are happy with the squeezing of the toothpaste because that's what cleans their teeth. He also rejects the second because the liquid doesn't go to waste until after it fulfills its purpose.

(Rav Shlomo Zalman Meor Hasshabbat Letter 2:2) Rav Moshe (Iggerot Moshe 4:74) defines it as something that is an easily recognizable weekday activity even if it requires no melachot to be done. </ref> | ||
