Oh googley eyes, you make stuff come alive

I have purchased a package of 500 pairs of self-adhesive googley eyes in various sizes. Help me figure out what in my house to stick them on.
I already have all the glasses in the cupboards, all the bathroom drawers such that the knobs look like noses, and all the fruit in the fruit bowl.

Response by poster: My daughter opened the cabinet full of glassware staring at her and SHRIEKED. My husband gets home any minute now. I have applied googley eyes to his stash of canned chili, which he eats for lunch on the weekends, so that's a gift that will keep on giving. Sadly we have only one egg left so the egg thing will not be as effective as it would otherwise be.
I now desperately, desperately wish I had gotten the enormous set of 7" eyes and epoxyed them to the front grill of our ancient pickup truck.

Pro tip: you can normally buy packages of the non adhesive ones at dollar tree. I frequently use them with low tack adhesive dots in bars and restaurants (on surfaces that won't get damaged like dive bar bathroom stalls and laminated menus.)
I also occasionally post have a nice day type flyers around my hood including googly eyes. I've also left notes in mailboxes about nice flowers and chalk sidewalk art.

I carry stick-on googly eyes with me at all times! Pro tips:
Have some around when you're going someplace where there will be annoying ads at eye level. This is maybe easier for us in New York City, and particularly in my neighborhood where there are many overly-photoshopped concert posters for musical acts. I leave them all in a more Muppety state than I found them.
If you have a child who is old enough not to put things in their mouth, applying the googly eyes to the child him/herself is highly, highly recommended.
Googly eyes on bare knuckles make for some great puppetry opportunities at a moment's notice.

Large googly eyes + $1 can of play doh = VERY HAPPY CHILDREN
(make sure they're old enough not to choke, or else make sure to use giant eyes too big to choke on)
I'd sneak them onto the glass of framed family photos at a funny friend's house, without mentioning it, see how long it takes them to notice the change (make sure adhesive won't wreck anything, maybe use mac tac or painter's tape so it comes off easily)
Slip them into magazine ads in the doctor's waiting room
This is really funny! Your little pink lamp with the big mouth is the best

I'm not going to suggest weird places to put googly eyes, but I am going to suggest to you that you read the Generation V (or American Vampire) series by M.L. Brennan. For one thing, I really like it. But for another thing, in the third book one character goes around sticking googly eyes on her friend's stuff. From what I recall, she put eyes on all the eggs in the fridge, on the toothbrushes, on the ceiling over his bed, and in the MIDDLE of a roll of toilet paper.

I don't feel comfortable around this plant whatsoever. [some kind of potted wildflower with googly eyes on it] Whoa, what a relief! You see. I made eye contact. [signals to his eyes with two fingers] I feel like I know where I stand with this plant. What a load off. I don't know if I've been clear about this, but the whole concept of eye contact -- hugely important to me.QFT.

Confession: I have a pair of 3/4" googly eyes in my shirt pocket right now! Later today I have to go replace the ones on a campus busstop sign where I enlivened the school mascot on April 1, and which were only stolen last week. (And the pair that I stuck on the door of the local horror/Lovecraft bookstore are still there!)
This is to say, you must put them everywhere and anywhere. Put them where you will see them constantly, and where they won't be discovered for a day (the freezer) or a month (the front of someone else's baseball cap in the closet). Put them on things that move (toys, the DVD player above its tray) and things that don't. Put them on your own stuff for a secret smile and on other people's things for a surprise!
I stuck them on pictures throughout the "wall o' photos" at home, and wish I had left them up for longer than I did.
Last, I made a few pair with small rare earth magnets on the back, which failed to adhere to local signs, but which would make anything hanging on your fridge a lot more fun.
Goddamn do I love googly eyes.

Response by poster: OK, a friend of mine pointed out that commercially available novelty googley eyes are probably not up to handling the harsh environment they would be subjected to when mounted on the front of a truck. I wanted to put that information here to help forestall disaster in case someone else thinks it's as delightful as I do.
Impact-resistant industrial strength googley eyes could definitely be fabricated; there are plenty of places online that will make you acrylic or polycarbonate domes in whatever dimensions you require, including shallow-depth bubbles, and it wouldn't take a lot to fasten such a dome to a white polycarbonate backing with a thick black plastic circle inside. Sadly, the pricing ($35-$65 per dome depending on size and material) puts it out of my personal budget range for a whimsical auto decoration. . . but maybe not out of yours.

Oh my god, this is the BEST. My sister's boyfriend did this when she went away for a few days, but not to the same extent. You are truly a googly genius.
It's been a few months and she is *still* finding them - think ahead. What won't you be using for a few weeks/months?
Definitely cluster a bunch of small eyes on something.

OK, a friend of mine pointed out that commercially available novelty googley eyes are probably not up to handling the harsh environment they would be subjected to when mounted on the front of a truck. I wanted to put that information here to help forestall disaster in case someone else thinks it's as delightful as I do.
Could install them on the dash underneath the windshield.
