 Repackaging items |
 |
Anyone here ever experiment with repackaging some products.
For example I am going to try to put salt and pepper in a soda straw and then seal the ends so I can carry them easier and a little more waterproof.
Any comments?

I have taken salt & pepper & had film canisters.
I line the canister with stretch wrap, fill with salt, twist the top closed stuff it in the canister & put lid on.
It worked good, after 3 days i opened to use & the salt & pepper were still dry & ready for use. 
The straw would work good as well. It would be sealing the ends that might be tricky.
Good idea though.

Good idea 
Tip for sealing straws:
Grab the end of the straw with pliers so 2mm or 3mm is exposed and melt it with a lighter

Good idea with the straw. Never would have thought of that.
Thanks, Tfisher!

I used a lighter to open a bag of milk once- the whole bag tasted like acid.
More recently, I've used one of those flip top gum containers to take tea bags when I go out. A Tupperware container and a few Ziplocs is another good way to make your food compact.
