Bagel Spindle

OK, I just wanted to help share this with the world. Today's word is ingenuity...

What do you use your old spindles for?

Just to be extremely uninteresting, I generally keep CDs in my spindles. I have one for backups and one for music...it's not a terribly convenient system.

Wow that's awesome

I use my old spindles to hold burned CDs and DVDs ... however I use the plastic tops to hold random USB and charging cords for my gadgets. The bagel spindle is definitely the coolest use I've seen for it though. Maybe I should use it for donuts or a vegetable platter! Time to start an eco catering business.

I'm boring as well, I use them for drivers, CDs from schoolbooks (which I never use) and more CD-crap. I wish I could have a bagel.

i personally use my old spindles as bowls when my roommates won't do the dishes. believe it or not they would be cleaner than the dishes anyways.

I don't know about you guys but I would be worried about some nasty plastics off gassing into my meals if I used a spindle for a dish. Our world is full enough of toxic chemicals thank you very much.

How about embedding RFID's into spindles so that they can be returned back to the manufacturer. Envision a "recycling plant" that sorts through trash looking for these RFID'd products and packaging.

Heck, at some German stores consumers rip the packaging off of their products in the store, stick them into their bags, and throw the trash away into a big box that is then shipped back to the manufacturer.
