Reuse Refuse

Even though Father Al's green earth concert didn't go over too well, Target's Reuse Refuse idea has me thinking... On the side of Target's bags is a blurb with "10 ways to reuse your target bag". I like the idea of reusing things instead of just throwing them out and since I recently received some Fresh Blast Super Energizing chewing gum I decided to take Target's lead;

10 Ways to Reuse your ABC Fresh Blast Gum (some of these are new ideas and some are classics I'm sure you've done before)

1. use it to create ergonomic, form fitting ear plugs (especially good for parents)
2. use it to keep slippery floor rugs in place
3. put it under restaurant tables to amuse youngsters
4. throw it in your spouse's hair if you lose an argument
5. throw it in your own hair if you want to go home from work early
6. throw it on a store sidewalk on a hot day. Watch customers step in it and string it all around; you can get at least 4-5 people with just one piece
7. use it as a denture adhesive. this can be tricky because how can you chew the gum if you're teeth aren't in, how do you hold your teeth in to chew the gum without gum adhesive- it can be a vicious circle- you'll need a partner
8. if one of those giant SUV's parks so close you have to crawl in the back seat on the passenger side; write a polite note asking them to please not take up so much room next time etc., use your abc gum to affix the note to the door handle of the offending vehicle (better yet, aim for the key hole)

remember to always reuse your refuse
