What would YOU do with 3.1 million yogurt container lids?
I heard them talking about this when I was listening on Sunday morning, and today MetaFilter linked to this story. The folks are here are (for the most part) pretty freaking creative…so I thought I’d post the question.
I don’t know WHAT I would do with them. I keep trying to think of automotive themes, since it’s Car Talk for crying out loud, but my originality switch is stuck on “None for me, thanks.”
How about the rest of yez?

Ha ha ha!

I love the suggestion that they send the lids to Martha Stewart since she’ll have time on her hands for crafts when she’s in the slammer!
I don’t know, maybe you could make “windchimes” out of them - they wouldn’t make noise necessarily, but you could paint them different colors and make a mobile out of them.
I’m not much in the creativity department, and I certainly don’t have the level of irreverence that would make me a winner. But I’m interested to see what becomes of it.
Bring them to Boston, and use them to finish construction on the freaking Big Dig. Who needs all that concrete and steel? Use good old fashioned plastic, I say. An underground highway constructed entirely of yogurt lids urging smaller cars? I’d support that.
Cut them into flexible triangles and make a giant geodesic dome 600 feet in diameter. Add a couple of hand warmers and watch it take off like a dirgible.
Or make 20 zorb balls and walk across water. Play soccer on water, where the ball is triangle shaped, and the players are spherical. Pretend to be that malignant force in the Prisoner.
Build a windmill. Or a sailboat.
