Even if you haven’t seen them, you’ve definitely heard of them. So, what’s all the buzz? Here’s everything there is to know about tubes.

There’s no two ways around it. Tubes are round and skinny, rods are round and skinny—the slipper fits.

If you look at a tube head-on, you’ll see that there’s definitely a circle-like element, but that’s only a very small part of a much bigger picture.

There seems to be a large hole

You may be wondering, are tubes dense all the way through like bricks are? And the answer to that question is “Most likely not.” There appears to be a hole in tubes that goes from the beginning of the tube to the end of the tube.

Please contact your local government office to find out if you too live in a place that has tubes.
