Even in a place like Vancouver, British Columbia, people have problems to solve. For instance, you're moving something into an apartment building, and you need to prop the gate open -- damned if you can't find a door-stop, or a brick, or even a stick. Luckily, you live in Canada, a first-world country; if nothing else, there's always food. I know what you're thinking: Use it to prop the gate open then you can still eat it, right? Wrong! Not after it's touched the ground. Remember, there's plenty more where that came from.

Keep in mind that one-litre Tetra-packs of soup, like the one shown, are inexpensive, dimensionally stable, weather-proof, and have a nice heft to them, so they're good for all sorts of projects that require bricks -- but don't involve nails. Click the images to enlarge them.
