Colored Toothpaste Squares

Have you ever taken a really good look at your tube of toothpaste? If so, you have probably seen a colored block towards the end of the container. Perhaps it was black, blue, green, or even red. Mind you, these things are known as “eye marks”. What are they for? It turns out they are used by assembly line machine workers to determine where they must fold and cut the packaging. The tubes of toothpaste might still be attached to one another if they did not exist!
