What to do with Popcorn Buckets??

[maciec]

What we've found works best is to buy two popcorns. Use one for a refillable mug at the resort of your choice and the other to store a salad at one of the free salad bars at the counter service restaraunts. The portability of the buckets makes it a cinch to "hop" over to storm along bay at the yacht club, eat salad, drink drink, and use emptied buckets for sand play!

I have been using mine to carry snacks to the YMCA pool for the past several weeks. I was trying to find a good sized container and actually went up to the attic to dig it out. We had several but DH made us throw all but one away instead of lugging it home. Next time I'm keeping them all I especially love the scrapbook scraps tip Thanks!

This may sound silly, but where can I purchase these popcorn buckets and how big are they?

I am not a big popcorn eater, but my sons are!!!

Thanks!

Forgive me DISers for I have sinned.........I keep my toilet brush in my popcorn bucket.

What a fun thread! We have had so many of them over the years, but I always end up throwing them away and not using them. LOL!

This is a little gross...but we use those type of buckets as barf buckets when the kids are sick.

Our is on our Disney shelf holding our Stitch up, but now I'm thinking...maybe drill a couple of holes int he bottom and make it into a planter.

the popcorn bucket is the perfect portion size for our pooches food. one Disney popcorn bucket full each day. it gets left in the big food bin and used as a scoop.

others in the house are used as the ever popular microwave popcorn containers on movie night and "the tubbie cup". (i am assuming that other families keep a cup in the tub to aid in hair washing for the little ones - and always ends up getting used as a tub toy that gets water all over the bathroom floor?!?!?)

I usually get one bucket at each of the parks, so I have a small stash at home. Have given one to each of my nephews (one of them LOVES popcorn, so he thinks it's a treat to eat it out of that container ), use some of the others to separate coins in (spending $$ for WDW) and to store smaller items in.

This may sound silly, but where can I purchase these popcorn buckets and how big are they?

These are found at various popcorn kiosks in the parks and are about $3. They hold a regular sized microwave bag of popcorn. They come with covers too, so you can save some for later if you want.
