dope audio track also

sharps disposal boxes.

I knew a pair of roommates in college who outfitted their entire ceiling with altoids tins, cheek by jowl--they somehow affixed the back of the tin to the ceiling, and left the lids hanging, so that when you looked in one direction you saw all red and when you looked in another you saw all silver and when you looked straight up you got this eye-popping 3d effect of depth. It was fantastic. They left virtually zero ceiling surface area uncovered, as I recall. Very cool.

they weren't artists or designers, either, which kind of made it better in my opinion. obviously creative peeps.

i wish my neighbors had such fresh breath!

I hear they make great ipod and (very small) digital camera cases.

But unless you have 600 of either, that won't do you much good.

"an Altoids tin can be fashioned to be used as an emergency camping stove. They have also been used to create pinhole cameras, house small amateur radios, geocaches, MP3 players, cases for the Zen Micro, tobacco or marijuana smoking devices, iPod battery packs, and even Cmoy portable headphone amplifiers. Altoids tins can also be used as containers for small (and quite complete) mini survival kits."

hit up google and you'll find a bunch of ideas.

they are good for storing mints in. or your stash.

Guiggster, you could send them to me, as I am starting my own Altoids can collection. I am addicted to the Choco/Cinnamints....

Sorry, don't know how to resize just yet =/

You can also make 600 survival kits!

my ex made jewelry out of them

trace, I tried that, but they end of hurting my earlobes.

buy some magnets and make a sculpture! ala this favorite from my childhood.

apparently, you have 94 options.

are you short? because you can insert them into the soles of shoes to make yourself look taller.

Personally, I'd just recycle them.

ebay them

600 altoids cans on the wall, 600 altoids cans on the wall take one down pass it around 599 altoid cans on the wall

b

i would dump em in a river

i'd use them to draw attention to global warming.

please send 4 of them to me: my daughter can't reach the pedals on her new tricycle. i'll attach one to each of the tops of the pedals and, when it flips over because of the added load, i'll attach one to each of the now-tops of the pedals and then, i hope, she'll be able to reach. you will have made a two year old very happy.

or, hell, save the postage. i'll just use chunks 'o' 2x4.

give them away as promotional gifts from your firm "altoid architects"

fill them with pebbles and scam tourists into buying reduced price "black market breath mints" on street corners

599 altoids cans on the wall, 599 altoids cans on the wall take one down pass it around 598 altoid cans on the wall
