400 uses for deli cups . . . ??!!

[Drizzt80]

I am so excited that this thread has gone further than I ever thought it would!! I don't feel like such an idiot now for making a such a hair brained mistake. I know I don't have the patience to poke holes in 400 cups, so I am really having fun envisioning some of your wonderful ideas!! :crazy02:

Thanks, and keep them coming! :grin01:

LOL! That would be an awesome contest... however my favorite of my suggestions would involve posting video :grin01:

Fill them up with different amounts of water and use them as a giant Xylophone...

Giant Jello shots...

Target practice.... Pull!

Sell them on EBay as display cases...

Paint them green and hand them out as St Patrick's Day hats...

Toss them in the yard, call the media, and tell them you were the victim of a drive-by deli cupping...

Hand them out to street performers to hold their change...

Open a Potato Salad & Cole Slaw stand in front of your house :grin01:

Better check the zoning laws first!

Put some greasy American pizza in them and send it to Elle.. ? *lol* :sidestep:

Leave them on a shelf close to your hatchlings as a reminder to order deli's with holes..

Start breeding Betta fish..

Paint them red and hang a gold tassle off them, and sell them to the local Shriners as surplus hats..

Donate them to the local Elementary school, so the Kindergarteners can use them for finger painting..

And the beat goes on...

Go to an empty parking lot or someplace very remote. Put it on the ground. Fill it half way with powder chlorine that you use for a pool. Fill it the rest of the way with brake fluid. Quickly cover with the lid, then run 20 ft away and watch the chemistry magic unfold before your eyes!

Bundle them in groups of three, and sell them as "Shell Game Kits".

We use them as water bowls....Weston goes to Lowe's buys PVC pipe coupling things..???? they work as the base, then just put in the deli cup....and then we can dispose of them as we need to.....little lazy but it works for us!

LOL! OMG... that was Hilarious & Amazing all at the same time! Dayum... those are some bendy chicks. :eek1:

A few more that occurred to me today (it was slow at work) :grin01:

Fill them with small rubber snakes, frogs, etc. Make battery operated mobiles and sell them on Ebay, what herp lovin' Mama wouldn't want one of those for her new bundle of joy!

Fill them with aspen or sani chips, mark the lids with a ? and set them on your table at the next expo. Watch them disappear.

Construct the world's tallest free standing deli cup tower. Call "The book of records" people, not the brewers. :cheers:

That's totally going to give me nightmares now.

You could use them for.....erm......stool samples? :sidestep: :grin01:

Do you go fishing? You could use them to breed flies and to keep maggots in. :shrugs:

I thought of a couple more...

Use them to store your rock collection (or start a rock collection! lol)
Give them to the neighborhood kids and say their specialy designed mud cake forms.
Tie them to your feet as use them as mini-stilts - sell them to people as such.
If you have guppies, use them to hold the fry to prevent the bigger fish from eating them.
Or, you could string several of them together and hang several strands of them from doorways like the beaded screens/curtains.
