Momentous occasion – 1000 empty Tic Tac boxes!

August 19th, 2008

There are certain times in your life where something remarkable happens. Today is one of those times.

Today, I finally reached 1000 empty Tic Tac boxes!

Please note, this isn’t a collection (or a 3 dimensional array). I haven’t actually gone out of my way to collect empty Tic Tac boxes. I just haven’t thrown any away.

For about the last 7 or 8 years.

The question now is what to do with the damn things?  Anybody have any suggestions?

In that picture they are stacked 6 wide and 6 deep with 27 full layers and a further 28 boxes on the top layer.

With 5 empty Sakuma’s Drops tins for company…..

    You should put a LED in each one, and make them flash through random patters. That’d be awesome.

    Design a railgun to shoot them all out.

    I agree with David! Like that pixelated lamp in Craft magazine. Tres cool!

    Might sound weird, but I’m actually trying to find a bunch of empty tic tac boxes. Would you be willing to sell some?
