Do you remember two weeks ago, when I admitted to not having the answers to all of life’s problems? You should, that was a pretty big deal. In fact, I could hear the collective gasp.

And do you remember me telling you that I reached out to some of the smartest & funniest bloggers on the web to offer up some of their own questionable tips? Well, I got another one!!!

My girl Alyson, over at The Shitastrophy (gotta love that name!), has graciously offered to help us figure out what to do with all of our used K-cups! Coffee addict that I am, I could use that tip!

After reading this brilliant tip, you have to go check out her blog! She’s hilariously honest, and the header picture alone will make you wanna pour a drink!

I like coffee – who the hell doesn’t? If you have kids, you need some sort of boost. Since alcohol is frowned upon first thing in the morning, I reach for my trusty Kuerig coffee machine.

Every morning I have 2 cups of coffee, so 2 of those little plastic K-cups are used. What the hell am I supposed to do with all those little plastic cups? I really do hate to just throw them out – I’m very green you know, ok fine, more of a lime green, fine f%@kers, I think about the environment, are you happy now?

So what can you do with those little white plastic cups that are the castoff from your morning drug?

1) Use them for Jello shots later in the evening.

Just wash them out, fill with a lovely Jello/alcohol mix and voila! From morning to night – the K-cup is like the little black dress to help get you through the day.

Even better, my kids school does a Monte Carlo night where I sell shots, reincarnating my college job as Shot Girl. Sure my ass is bigger, but so are my boobs! Perfection. I’m sorry where was I going, oh yea – tax benefits! Turn that coffee habit into a couple hundred dollar tax write off when you claim your services at the local school fundraiser!

(Disclaimer, I am not an authorized tax attorney or accountant, and by no means providing real advice. If you are following my advice you are an idiot and will be most likely audited.)

2) Crush them on your forehead when you get drunk so you look really cool and strong!

I was never really able (or wanted to) crush an actual beer can on my forehead during my major drinking years. But now, it’s the hit of the party! Who doesn’t want to crush a cup into their perfectly made up face? Good times people! Just be sure you don’t get your eye by mistake, cause that’s gonna look like you got the shit kicked out of you.

Or pretend to be the Hulk’s wife! My kids like it when I pick up the cups and smash them. They really love when I do it while standing on a chair screaming about how awesome I am. I try not to fall off the chair, but shit happens.

3) Use them to dispense meds, just like in the hospital!

How fun is that! I put my happy pills in them, and the kids get their vitamins this way. They always know which ones are theirs and which are mine because I have clearly labeled them; I am very crafty. This is also early training for them for when I get old and senile and have to live with them. They’ll know how to dispense my meds daily, and how can you put a price on that?

I hope you enjoy these tips! I’d love to know any other uses you might have for those magical little plastic k-cups.

Thanks!
