They’re just babies

Remember when I discussed filling the flotation chambers on our boat with empty soda pop bottles? Well, our latest acquision is a bunch of BABY Soda Pop Bottles!

Our plan is not to use them as per their original purpose in life, which is to grow into full-sized soda pop bottles. We will instead use them to store countless tiny items on board (think spices, medicines, fragile parts, etc.) that we would like to keep dry and protected.

Yes, the bottle in Rebecca’s left hand could have, with the right “incentive”, grown up to be a great big bottle just like the one in her right.

We purchased ours from Steve Spangler Science but they are also available here under the name of Tube Vaults. The first place markets to teachers and parents. The second place to… I’m not quite sure.

Anyway, they are pretty cool, and strong (see video below for proof) and no doubt have many uses.

    Cool idea! Steve is a friend of mine, we used to work together many moons ago. As a homeschooling mom, i love his website, never thought about it for the boat ;)

    Right now they are still sitting in the box they came in but I can definitely imagine a ton of uses for them once we get back on the boat.
