  • Don’t collect pull tabs. This is an urban legend that won’t seem to die. I’ve seen people with buckets of these things. Useless. They’re worth less than just getting the CRV or the recycled weight of aluminum in the whole can and just donating the money. Maybe once in a while someone might offer some cash-per-tab thing as one-off event, but I could find no charity accepting them as a form of direct donation.

    Don’t collect tabs, people. Just get the CRV and donate that if you want to make a donation.









  • There have been several. I think mostly all little things. Someone not making you fish for the last bit of change for a purchase. An rare cup of coffee. One somewhat recent one was I went to grab food at an ethnic restaurant. Real basic place, not a chain. After I’d ordered and they were handing me the food to go, I realized I’d left my debit card behind. I only had $5 on me. He must’ve seen the surprise on my face. Dude behind the counter was “Just take the food, don’t worry about it.” I was really surprised. I tried to refuse the food, it wasn’t like I couldn’t find some cash, but he insisted. So I gave plenty of thanks, took the food, and made myself a promise that I’d pay it back and then some if I could. Funny thing, I used to go to the city the restaurant was in probably every other month or so for work. Never been back for years.

    Edit: Just took a quick look and it looks like the place is closed. Shit. Really wanted to pay the guy back.

    I’ve mixed all this stuff. Not that I’m recommending it at all. But the output is ridiculously small, you’d probably have to go to extreme measures to concentrate the output in order to have any effect or go out of your way to find more concentrated versions of the chemicals. Most of these consumer products are so dilute the reaction is minimal.

    That said, again, don‘t go mixing this stuff for lols. Someone will always find a way to make it dangerous.
