Just curious if anyone has found any good uses for these. I use one to throw all my loose change into. I use the 6-pound bucket from Prolab to hold my car wash in. I go through so many bottles of whey, so I was wondering if anyone keeps them or just throws them out.

Most supplement from Twinlab are in glass containers, I use these containers for storage of my freshly picked Ganja , you must preserve the nuggets.

Well...I used to keep all my empty Myoplex boxes just to see how many I can collect. I stopped after about 45 boxes because my girlfriend reminded me of how stupid and pointless it was.

I use my glass twinlab jars for my nuggies too. Freshness and greenality are crutial. Havoc, I always put a rubber seal inside the lid for that extra tight seal. I have a couple hundred protein jugs stashed away in the basement. I don't really use them for anything but that add a certain glow to the room.

I used to keep mine as trophies....But when I started little did I realise that 1 can of aminos or protein eventually turned into a whole lot more than 1.
But I have one for canadian toonies.

I recycle 'em (the plastic ones). Anyone remember those old Weider "dog food" bags of weight gainer (Mega Mass 4000 or whatever) from the early 90's? I think they were 12 pounds or so. Damn, I ate dozens of those things and gained maybe 5 pounds. Always reminded me of Purina when I was scooping it out. Kinda tasted like it too. lol.

I know this is silly, but you leave the scoop inside them, twist on the top REAL tight, then let your dog play with it.. they can never bite it cuz it keep srolling around on them, and the scoop inside bounces around and keeps it noisy for them. Also, little dogs love those 4 litre mike jugs for that to...

LOL, My boyfriend and I use them for many different things.
He uses them for needle disposal and ampul disposal, of course he has to seperate them into two different tins.. Dont know why.
I use one to store cotton balls and silly little things like that.
For change we divide it into different jars
Chocolate for pennies, vanilla for silver but we divide the silver too... Sad huh, but it makes it so much simpler when you go to roll the change so far we have 2 6lbs tubs full of pennies and I think at least one full of quarters and stuff.
Atlantic city here we come... LOL not.. He uses it for gear.. Sigh, at least I contribute to his body
