A bit of a random thought.
Was just fiddling with a tube of lip balm (I think some people refer to it as chapstick?) when I began to wonder…
1. What do you do with the product when it’s all used up?
2. Can you buy the empty tubes?
As it turns out you can indeed buy the empty tubes!
So, the question is, does anyone think these might be a good idea to use, for example, as a container for pills, or perhaps items that need compartmentalizing in a small survival/first aid/whatever kit?
They are an awful lot cheaper than the titanium/other metal thingies around – albeit not quite so cool.
My buzzword this year is “repurpose”
Last year it was “engagement’
The year before “resonance”
(just thought I’d share that, not really that interesting)
Anyway, apologies if this has been suggested a gazillion times already but I couldn’t find it on a search.
