With any of these products if when near empty they're stored cap down
getting out the last bit is easy... many of these 'squeezeables' are
now packaged with a lid that's made to stand on its head, like my
Heinz red. I keep a plastic basket in my under sink cabinet just for
the purpose of storing squeezeables upended... be sure to use a pan or
suitable container for catching those pesky drips.... a good use for
recycling plastic cups.
