    what to do with bad dvds aka coasters microwave!!

    the best thing i found to do with old or bad burn dvds is to microwave them for about ten seconds they make pretty patterns you can use them for coasters window decorations wall decorations just use your imagination atleast this way you may be able to forget about what happened to cause the bad copy in the first place. ps donot and i repeat microwave them longer they will catch on fire jwo62 has the details i sent him on my microwaves early dimse and allmost mine please heed my warning do not microwave too long you ll be sorry.

      someone else started a thread about this too. some pretty cool ideas.

      nothing feels better than smashing them though. i don't get coasters really anymore though.

          Bling

          Well let’s see people are really going for just about anything that says "BLING" on it so if you take your coasters and put the word Bling on them. Then take some fishing wire through that little hole in the middle so it can by hang on a rearview mirror. People on eBay would probably pay good money for those shiny Bling CD/DVD rearview mirror hangers. LMAO!


          Oh ya I know use those DVD/CD sticky labels to pretty them up on one side! Before you sell them. LMAO!

              My friend's brother once put a McDonald's ketchup pack in the mic. Let's just say after the bolt of lightening the microwave no longer works. LOL

                A coaster is something you use to protect your tables with from glasses of what ever. Which is what a failed burned DVD / or CD is..... only good for a coaster. LOL


                I wonder though if we could build a rollercoaster with all the coasters LMAO!

                  I've already seen people car's with a construction paper cutout of fish head and tail on the other side of dvd's hanging from rear view mirrors. I can see all the accidents happening when the sun catches them just right and blinding people when they are driving explain that to the MR. Policeman lol

                    Well I dont know where your from, but the idea is not a bad one they sell these things that look like real cd's just for that in most shopping malls. I cant even tell you how many people have these hanging in the cars , mostly the younger crowd. Its a fad thing around here right now it is nuts but true.

                            I see your putting it to good use then. NO waste! LMAO!


                            Belive it or not there are people out there that are soo stupid they actualy think that the cd/dvd roms ARE CUP holders.

                            I had a friend working in customer service for a computer store. People actually called saying their computers cup holder broke and they want a new one under warranty.



                            After the customers sent in the pictures it was found that they were using the roms as cup holders. NO warranty was ever given! LMAO!

                              Actually coasters are responsible of the existence of UFO: there are many and many people that throw coasters out of the window, and some fly for miles
