Maybe I dating my self, but I spent some time today looking for the little metal boxes of aspirin's.

They are flat and hold about 8 or 10 aspirin sized pills.
You would squeeze the corners and they would open.
Hnady little boses.

I do have a couple of them in different FAK's and was looking for a couple of more.

Has anyone seen them around lately?

I haven't looked in a while, but used to see them at truck stops all the time. Those and the Goodys Powder and I was set for the day.

Yeah, good idea........I checked Walgreen's, CVA, Walmart including at the check outs....And when i was asked if some could help me, and i told them what I was looking for.....Got a blank stare.

Look in the travel section at Walmart. You know, where the sample size stuff is at. Little tubes of toothpast and little soaps. I'm pretty sure I've seen them there. Kroger has a similar section near the pharmacy and I think they have them. Those are as hard to find now as the little metal package car fuses came in.

You know, I do have some boxes of fuses that could be pressed into service.....Great idea.

I did check the travel section at a couple of places, found just about every thing else, including laundry soap?
Aspirin and such seems to be sold 2 at a time in little paper pkg's.

You can order these tins from internet companies just type tin in your search. They are empty without any packaging and you can order just one if you want to.

I found them buy searching "slide top tin". 12 of them were around $10 shipped.

Great! Go ahead and buy some then ship them to Hunter. He's looking for some.

Thanks, sometimes it's just how you ask the question, I guess.

I think I found the link, might do it....only needed one, right now, but hey, you never know, they might be rare, LOL... so what the heck.
Did use a fuse box for my current project.

I did buy them but I'm not sure where they are. Maybe the garage? Another neat tin is the small altoids tin. It's perfect a few extra 22magnum shells.

My suggestion was, of course, a joke. Here's the humor X. Here's the punch line Y. When X and Y intersect...oh, never mind.
