It was Number 6 plastic, wasn’t it.

We’ve been collecting number 6 plastic here, because you can, in fact, make shrinkydinks out of it. We’ve got a respectable pile on a shelf in the laundry room, and sometime soon we’re going to break out the colored Sharpies and have a shrinking party.

Hmmm. Makes me wonder if a) the container actually lost mass and b) if so, where did the missing mass go? Hopefully, not into your food.

At least it was a fun lesson. Did you decorate it like a real shrinky dink?

Also, yes, good thing it didn’t catch fire.

Ya sure that’s not a shrinky drink?

Thank goodness you are in NYC where there is a pizza joint on every street. Oh! and the dessert truck isn’t that far away and now you have a bonified excuse to visit it.

O______O!! That is…amazing, it looks like a little bowl now. We both seem to be having kitchen mishaps. But I’ll definitely take a shrinky-dink container over an over fire O_O
