Goodbye drink containers, my old friends

Thoughts

Goodbye drinks~

So we’re moving house again, and it’s a lot of work. My first task, cleaning out and throwing away more of my stuff.

I’m certainly not at the level of a hoarder, but I’m a "collector". Coins, stamps, computer cables, business cards… and for some reason thoroughly-washed beverage containers. Most of them have a history that are either far too personal or embarrassing to impart here! XD

As with my old display, I find taking pictures of things renders them easier to dispose of. Perhaps immortalising them on my Flickr feed means they’re still with me somehow. I’m a weird person.

From top left to bottom right, immortalised forever here on Rubénerd.com:

  1. An IKEA apple cider can
  2. Two Starbucks coffee cups from my first year back in Sydney
  3. A “Drink Responsibly” coffee cup from the Coffee Club
  4. Two Starbucks Yuletide-themed cups
  5. Two cans of Mr Potato, my favourite snack from Malaysia as a kid
  6. A Starbucks cup with an earlier logo sleeve
  7. Two years of The Rocks Aroma Festival cups
  8. A carton of Paul’s Egg Nog I took to an Anime Club event
  9. A Maxwell Coffee can from one of my earlier dates with Clara
  10. A Selamat Wafer, which is far too bagus to mention!
