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

Your son is just an environmentalist and was keeping all of his used vapes to try and figure out a way to recycle them!

Seriously though my mom found like 20 tins like a year later after she dumped an Arizona can out halfway full of dip spit that was in my room. I’ll never forget her screaming at me on the phone and making me come home from work to clean the sink.

I was collecting empty nitrous cartridges from whippits to hopefully recycle them into an art project of some sort. So I had hundreds of them from taking in boxes from friends including my own stash and put them on a shelf in the basement of the house I was renting and forgot about them. Asked my mom to help me move and her utter confusion of why I had so many whipped cream chargers…. She yelled at me to come downstairs and asked what this was and I panicked and said “I make a lot of whipped cream 🤷🏻‍♀️” then my roommate snitched and told her what they actually were from hahahaha
