What should I do with all these Airtite foams?

So I ordered a bunch of airtites with the black rings. Almost all of them has an extra piece of black foam in the middle for me to pop out. Is there anything special I can do with these besides stuffing them in a box? I also have quite a few extra foam rings now since whenever I buy a coin thats in a airtite I tend to use mine instead. Just wondering if I should toss these or is there something else I can use them for?

If you have hardwood floors in your dining room, you can hot glue them to the bottom of your chairs so they don't scratch the floor

 

I save them. Sometimes I cut them smaller for oddly-sized variations; kind of a mix and match with air-tites and foam...
Other times, I play fetch with the cat

I threw mine out, i prefer the white rings because the black can leave a residuse on the rim over time

 

I would but I spend all my money on coins so I can't afford chairs

or hot glue.

 

I have a box of them too. When a storm loosened a few shingles on my garage roof, I used them as washers under the nails when I did a quick repair job. No leaks so far!

 

HAHAHAHAHA....I've been working on this mystery for years. I eventually tossed all of mine after I couldn't figure out a good use for them.

 

I like the hardwood floor protector and the shingle washer ideas. You've got to love Yankee ingenuity!

 

Recycle them, don't just trash them.

 

Yankee? At least one of their profiles say they're from Washington State.

 

Well, if you have kids, they could be a very useful under structure for a (partially) paper machea volcano. You could even put a nice little cylinder formed by the inside circles in the middle to hold the "fuel" in there. You could glue some into a Frisbee.

The word after paper is meant to be pronounced (ma-sh-ay) I cannot spell, not even well enough for spellcheck to guess!

 

But you could consult a web search and in less than five seconds have the correct spelling, or utilize a digital dictionary online or via some other software in quick order, to post the correct spelling rather than dismiss the effort. Papier-mâché with the correct French accent marks or the English version Paper Mache both work.

 

Ironically, that is exactly how I spelled it the first time! how dare spell check mislead me...:devil:

 

What can you do? Not all dictionaries are created alike. :thumb:

 

good idea. but then what if someone loses and gets upset. tears one, starts throwing them at others ect. We youngens are relentless!

 

I can see it now. When I am in my 30's-40's my kid asks, "Daddy, will you please buy more coins" I say, "Well son, I'm glad your taking an interest, any type coin you really like?" They reply, "I don't want a coin, I want the the black smushy stuff they come in!" downheartedly reply, "Okay, but go tell your mother you want me to go to a coin shop."

Ah, and 20-30 years from now, I will be looking at this as the good ole days! maybe, anyway

 

Making stuff for the kids sounds like a good idea. Plus it gives us the chance to tell the Mrs. that we're going to the coin shop to buy something for the kids.
