Right now, McDonald’s is running a special on their drinks. Buy any size for just $1. That is cheaper than buying a 20 ounce, so we’ve been picking up a large Diet Coke at McDonald’s while we’re in town instead of a 20 ounce drink. My husband loves this because he prefers a drink with ice in it. But now we have all these large, plastic cups that I just hate to throw out.? I’ve thought of a few uses for them.
In a few weeks, we will be heading to the beach. I think the shape of the cups will be perfect for building sand castles. We will probably have at least 10, so we will have plenty for the whole family to get in on the action at the same time.
Of course, we can always use as drinking cups especially when we are heading somewhere and don’t want to take a good drinking glass.
Rae loves to play with cups in the tub, pouring water from one cup to the other. I’m sure a few cups will find their way to the bathtub or even the swimming pool.
I’m sure I’ll think of a few more uses for them hopefully. It seems such a waste just to throw them away.
