9. Lids for soft drinks

Fast food restaurants are often the most convenient places to purchase drinks, typically at no extra cost with any food purchase. The average price for a soft drink ranges from $1 to $3, making it an affordable option for many. Recently, social media has sparked discussions about the functionality of soft drink lids, revealing that they serve a purpose beyond just being a cover. According to Reader's Digest, these lids can actually be used as coasters. This clever repurposing not only helps protect surfaces from condensation but also adds an element of resourcefulness to your dining experience.
  According to a post on Reddit by @u/3t_clemente, you can easily repurpose soft drink lids by simply turning them over. This clever hack allows you to keep your table dry when a coaster isn't available. This technique works with lids from various fast food chains, including Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's. By using these lids as makeshift coasters, you can prevent moisture from seeping into your furniture, making your dining experience cleaner and more enjoyable.
