5 ways to reuse a Nesquik container

We love chocolate milk in our household. In fact, I rarely buy mix because our milk consumption then increases from "a lot" to "massive." However, when I do indulge, I prefer powder Nesquik which comes in a bright, yellow plastic container that is completely reusable for a variety of things.
  1. Snack holder. When I buy a box of granola or snack bars, I often ditch the over sized box and relocate them to a Nesquik container in my cupboard. It's just the right size and it keeps the bars from getting squished if we hit the road.
  2. Art supplies. These are great for keeping crayons, paint brushes and chalk organized.
  3. iPod charger. If you are good with gadgets, you might just want to see what can be done with a couple of 6 volt batteries, a Nesquik container and an iPod.
  4. Beach picnic. Take advantage of the container's waterproof and air tight qualities and pack lunches in them for a trip to the beach. Each person can have their very own seagull-proof box. When lunch is over, you can use them for #5.
  5. Sandcastle kit. Cut the rim off the body and coat the inside with vegetable oil to create a fabulous mold for sandcastle walls.
