I'm on a medication that gets delivered to me in a dramatically over packaged way every two weeks. Part of this packaging is a styrofoam cooler about 27x22x25cm and two unlabeled cold packs.

I currently have 7 of these and expect to be getting them for the rest of my life. Aside from just tossing them, do any of you lot have suggestions for what i can do with all these coolers?

I mean yeah, normal coolers arent that hard to find. But, When you're fishing or bird hunting though it's often easier to throw a catch in a disposable cooler that doesn't need to be fully washed and sanitized and won't permanently end up smelling like whatever you got three weeks ago, because plastic is semi-permeable.

Oh! I get it now. I don't hunt or fish. My coolers are for beer and water, easy to wash out, dry in the sun.

You're right. If the contents are nasty, just use disposable styrofoam, chunk it in a pickle jar of unleaded, use the napalm to light camp fires. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
