cwall1108 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hey all - figured anyone who is interested to know about cheap portable disc case options might dig this little find I made a year or so back. Twinings Tea tins for their loose tea make perfect holders for up to 7 MDs. The biggest setback is... well, you have to drink a fair amount of tea. I used canned air to blow out any residue. Leave the disc sleeves on when you put them in or there's more shifting around than I like. Pardon the semi blurry picture & enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 That's a great find, combining my love of Earl Grey tea and Minidiscs! Unfortunately I've never seen those tins over here (in the UK), we just have the thin cardboard packets and foil wrappers , but I'll have a look out for them perhaps in the posher tea shoppes.

cwall1108 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 At risk of sounding like a shill for tea, I checked Amazon's UK site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twinings-Earl-Grey-Loose-Pack/dp/B005C94XI4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1365104863&sr=8-3&keywords=twinings+earl+grey+loose+tea Edit: this box looks like it's 500g, and mine is 100g, so err... maybe not. Edit 2: Here's a better look. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dgrocery&field-keywords=Twinings+Tea+100g+loose&rh=n%3A340834031%2Ck%3ATwinings+Tea+100g+loose Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 That is a very cool find! I am always eyeballing various containers to tote discs around too. Very nice, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 My father drink earl grey for years and keep the tin boxes. Never think using them for MD storage. I will be back in France next summer so I will have opportunity to steal all the boxes I will find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
