Rule #32 Enjoy the Little Things
I meant to post this when it happened, as it wasn't very long after Zombieland came out and the timing seemed appropriate, but I was busy.
Packing up all my stuff wasn't very fun, as it came with a corresponding keep/toss-leave decision. During the summer, McDonald's was offering some coke glasses with their value meals. I almost never eat at McDonald's, but took the hit and bought six meals to get six of the glasses. I was hoping to get 3 and 3, and ended up with 2 blue, 4 brown. I broke one of them very soon after.
The glasses are sort of coke-bottle shaped, narrow at the bottom and flaring up top. This makes them difficult to stack and pack. Also, as they're demonstrably fragile, I was wondering exactly what to do with them.
I also had a bunch of 'disposable' plastic glasses from Publix. They came with the combo subs, and were similar shapes, just larger. I put one of the glasses inside, and it was a perfect match, giving approximately 1/2" of airspace all around.
I had three of these, and needed five. I stopped by a few Publix, but they didn't seem to have them anymore although the one closest to me did end up with them again. So, another couple combos and I had cups for the glasses. Not very soon after, they switched to paper as well.
So, I ended up with five nice Coke glasses, and five things to pack them in which serve as glasses as well. It wasn't a big deal, but it was a randomly nice little thing and I thought worth mentionning.
