Eye Candy

Remember when you were a kid, and you'd beg your parents to let you buy one of those little toys in a plastic bubble from the vending machine? And how excited you were turning that little crank, wondering what tiny treasure you'd get?


Well, prepare to grin like that little kid again:

Read the amazing details (they're all recycled!) here.
Found via Boing Boing.


PS - I WANT THAT OWL PILLOW. That is all.

  1. Want! Want! Want! That is too cool! St. Louis has a recycle place like that. I've never been to it, I've only read about it. You buy the donated supplies by the pound. It's geared for teachers getting cheap supplies for their classes, but anyone can go.

  4. Well that is definitely a creative use for those otherwise useless plastic bubbles. Because let's face it, once you got your little prize out of it, you didn't care what happened to the bubble.

  6. That owl pillow is so freakin awesome and I want it (where did they get that?). I don't think that I could ever come up with that idea of the plastic container things. I bet the person who gave it up is regretting it right now.

  9. I think the worst part is that they can't hang any artwork! I understand about keeping walls nice, but sheesh!

  10. That is so smart! It definitely inspires me to do something with our apartment walls. We "can" paint and put holes in the wall, but we have to return the place to the original color and state before we move out and it's just not worth it.

  14. when my fiance proposed, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic bubble with my ring in it. So much better than a ring box!
