Useful, Re-purposed Art

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Sat Mar 28, 2009 7:52 am

A place to talk about an artistic way to re-use common materials.

Last year, I brought a couple of these Shake-N-Pour pancake mixes:

You just add water up to the fill line, then the name says the rest. The thing is, the packaging is so wasteful because it's a large bottle containing very little product... UNTIL NOW!

You see, the opening on top is wide enough for your massive manly girth, and the handle is positioned perfectly to hold it over your sleeping bag without spilling a drop.

Now to re-label it as a light-hearted prank for your camp mates...

... because for some, the yellow bottle and liquid contents are just not enough of a clue.

Seriously, keep one in your car and I dare you not to eventually use it.

my girlfriend refilled the genny with piss because I was using a gascan in 2007.

It had the letter "P" spraypainted on it in HUGE neon green, but that was not enough of a clue.

Don't keep that thing anywhere near your kitchen....that's all I am saying.

ib: How 'bout I make up a printable file that you can download? That way all can piss and paste to their hearts delight.

One Eye: Yeah, that's a bummer. How did your genny run?

The piss shut it down, and the needle valve is totally frozen, I have to replace the carb now.

It is currently down at Nevada small engine repair, waiting for new carb delivery.
