I have found a few of these little plastic things scattered around my 15 year old sons room, and was wondering what they are?

When I was 17 and smoking I just collected a bunch of empty cigarette packs in my glove box until my mom borrowed my car and inevitably found them.

Hell, when i was younger i for a while kept all the empty packs of swishers i bought in the side door pocket of my truck for a while. It was in the hundreds of packa after a lil while. All the flavors. Limited editions and all lolol. I dont know why. But now i have a bunch of boxes full of cool rocks that i found.
Some of us are just crows.

When I was a kid, centuries ago, I lived in a city in Ohio that tarred and gravelled the alleys. Right after a new tarring, I’d take my Radio Flyer into the alley and pick up all the pretty ones. Some of them were beautiful!! They were all the size of a pea. Some I’d leave in the garage in a special place, but the really pretty ones would go in a place of honor in my room. Anyone else do nutty things like this?????

I mean, if she borrowed your car the smell probably tipped her off before the glove box haha

I was incredibly lucky in that i was living in an apartment building when I started smoking, so I would just toss them in the dumpster. I was only caught because my brother-in-law was a fucking snitch.

I had a suitcase that I didn’t use and just stashed all the packs in there😂 why I didn’t just throw them away is still a mystery
