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?

    Depending on the density of the Styrofoam, it can be used as a rainfall simulator for a greenhouse. Water drips through some Styrofoam in a very random way.

      As much as I’d love that for a small greenhouse, these probably wouldn’t work. They’re almost 5cm thick and tight enough that I’ve stood on them without compression or denting.

        May be worth running water over one just in case if you are interested in pursuing it. I was so confident that a Styrofoam container for my humira meds would hold water that I filled it up and started walking before realizing it was dripping all over me.

          Hey, we’re med buddies! Well now I definitely have to at least fill it with water, I’ve got a lot of tropical plants that would love a good rain.
