Paid Members gmoney Posted January 3, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 3, 2021 I've been saving empty eggboxes for ages because I've got a vague idea in my head that they'll come in handy for something. When confronted by my partner about this she asked me to explain what I'd use them for. Other than gluing them to the walls to get a bit of sound insulation (which I won't be doing) or using them to store eggs in, I couldn't think of a single useful application for them. What should I do with 15x 12 quantity eggboxes? Getting thread of the year 2021 early.
Keith Houchen Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 The night before your paper bin gets collected, you could put them all out for collection, then retrieve them during the night and keep doing it. This way you will convince your neighbours that you eat a lot of eggs. You could even get a custom made “I REALLY LOVE EGGS” T-shirt made and wear it constantly to further embolden the charade.
cogitoergozoomo Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 They make a decent stand for your phone/ipad for when your hands get tired. Not sure about the other 14 though.
wordsfromlee Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Try local food banks. Some near me were after empty eggboxes recently.

King Coconut Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 They make great firelighters. I haven't used anything else to light a fire or barbecue in years. They're also great in compost, if that's the sort of thing you do.

Unfortunately we live in a flat without access to a garden, but I will bear that in mind for if we move, or if I need to burn somewhere down for insurance purposes.

Every morning you could open one like an advent calendar, and with there only being 12 of them you don't have to worry about going too far like a normal advent calendar.

Demand for your limited, much in demand eggs will soon grow through word of mouth and you'll eventually be able to sell your lucrative egg business for millions.
