Anyone here keep old Animal cans when they're done with them and use them for something else? I use them to keep pens in one place...

I use my old cans to keep change in. Then when it's full I can use that change on a new can.

I use mine for dog treats. No, not for me. Yeah, I'm bulking but I'm not that desperate.....

I also have a can in the workshop to keep screws, nuts, and bolts in.

Just keep it. Consider it an aggresive piece of art, or a hardcore dedication souvenir !

I just have a shrine of empty ones. I save all my protein jugs too. Well not all of them, that would get ridiculous. Yeah, I'm a packrat and I "just know" I'll need them someday. If we get enough posts on here, I'll know what to do with 'em!

If we send them back to Universal to recycle the can and keep their costs down, will the cost of Animal supplements decrease as well? Hey, just a thought...

Instead of keeping all the cans as souvenirs, I just peel the sticker off the lid and find somewhere for it (power rack and mirror in the gym, wall in front of the pull-up bar, etc). I even have one stuck in my classroom for my students to see.

You guys don't have a problem with the fact that the can, especially the Pak can, smells absolutely terrible? Haha, the product is great, but I try to close it as fast as possible!

Pens and change are all fine and dandy, but what about dragging em from your bumper when you drive away after your marriage? or one of those old-style string-in-a-cup type telephones neighbors used to use? or filling em with heavy weight, string em together, and use THAT for extra weight on dips or pull ups?

I do a lot of DIY stuff around the house, so I use them for misc. screws, nails, etc. They really come in handy for stuff like that.

cable - you're nuts.....
i use mine for change/ pens... but ldskenpo- that sounds awesome, i'll prob be doing the same thing when my sister has her kid.
i recently started bagging my protein, 2 scoops at a time, in ziploc of course, and my mrp's too, then i just toss em in my old pak can, and keep it in my gym bag... which is always in ym car- keeps you sane when you ned it in a rush

I use them in the garage to keep kitty litter (absorb oil on the floor) or old nails in. I use one can for pens. Funny in the old Pak cans you can still smell the stench of the old vitamins. Considering my gym is in the garage it makes me want to train.

Lid stickers go on my wall lockers in my room and empty cans are kind of...in a pile next to my bed...maybe tie em off and make a night stand. My roommates have learned to keep the lids on...so funny watching them wretch the first time they open the can to look inside...

The smell is awesome... I've come to love it... To me it just means shit is going to hit the ceiling in about an hour...

And don't you run out of room with your protein tubs lol? Because I have about 10 tubs and I can't find anywhere to put them in my room... and most of them are full

I remember when this thread first started. It gave me the idea to keep the cans. Now I use them to store bulk food in. I have a few different kinds of beans, cereals, and flours (gluten and bean flour primarily). They hold the stuff well and sure beat the hell out of plastic bags full of the stuff.

Renji007
11-10-07, 8:06 pm
I use mine to store cooking mixes and for pens and change. Though you know what? I think that one day all of these old cans that we use may very well be priceless since hell with the coming of the new animal cans these old nitros, cuts, and pumps. Ect. Will all become some sort of collectors item won't they?

11-10-07, 8:29 pm
I keep change in them and I love the smell. I will keep a couple of the old cans in mint condtion. But for now change pens ect...

Mine sits on top of my dresser.. I don't really use it for anything.. Except for one time I was walking to my bathroom to brush my teeth before bed and when I got there there was a frog staring at me.. I have no idea how it got inside my house, let alone all the way upstairs and into my bathroom.. Anyway.. I used an old Pak can to pick him up and take him outside....... Yeahh.....

I have one for coins and another for pens, and I tear off the labels so they look like regular cans. The rest get thrown away. I don't put the stickers on stuff, most people think it's an anarchist symbol.

Wierd story but acctually a good use.

My cat got diagnosed with diabetes about 3 months ago. My mom and I now have to give her shots twice a day. We sarted putting the used needles in a big metal bowl but my mom started getting scared that something would happen. Needless to say now there is tin of Animal Nitro full of my cats shots. I just hope that the neighbors don't think I'm shooting up if they see a jacked dude taking out the trash with a supplement can full of insulin needles ha ha!
