What's a jerk sock? Also, if you get use out of it, you arguably did not ruin it.
- A sock that you cum into..
  
  The one in the picture is a nylon stocking, so that would be a poor choice...
I actually really like the plastic bag and bottle trick.
- It's a lot of plastic. What if a canning jar was used instead? Then we just have to convince Packaging to switch to waxed paper bags or something.
  
  It looks to be reusing a bread bag and an empty bottle, so those would have been trash. Reuse/repurposing is better than just throwing away.
Most of these seem pretty reasonable to me. I guess I don't get this post.
Op, do you just hate fun? most of these are pretty cute or funny and just because they're not the most efficient design doesn't mean they're not allowed to exist?
