Uses for 1000 Beanie Babies: Beyond Burning

[russ_watters]

Other than burning them to make a little steam to generate a small amount of electricity, is there anything useful you can do with a thousand Beanie Babies? I mean, you can't sell these things anymore, can you?

Ugh, one of my pet peeves! What a useless waste of money! And seemingly normal and intelligent people fell for the whole scheme (makes me embarrassed for my gender that were, I think, all female ), and actually thought that they would be valuable some day. What a crock!

There are actually still stores around here that have "One Purchase Per Customer Per Day!". Puh-leeze .

Just sell them as chew toys for dogs.

No! Don't need that plastic filler in their bellies.

The fact that they are for sale does not imply to me that anyone is buying.

Try to contact any orphans/children foundations..

 

[russ_watters]

Good idea. My girlfriend thought of it at the same time. I called the local childrens hospital and they are happy to take them.

Awww.

Another PF success story!

 

[russ_watters]

The trebuchet idea is still on the table...

If it can reach Africa, why not.
