Alternative uses for my car's sunglass holder?
April 17, 2008 5:30 AM   Subscribe

Jetta's sunglass holder above my windshield is too small for my sunglasses. Other than getting smaller sunglasses, anyone have any ideas on what else I can use the holder for? Not a huge issue but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

A spare pair of smaller sunglasses for your passenger, or yourself should yours go missing.

mine is too small too. I keep floss and mints in there. Hint: don't buy waxed floss.

Go to a dollar store and buy those cheap party blower things. You know, they pop outwards and go 'weeeeooooo!'. Yeah, those ones.

Buy a pack, and put them all in the sunglass holder. When you've got a few people in the car, yell 'Instant Party' and open the sunglass holder, at which point everyone will take one and start blowing. Having a party mix on standby gets you bonus points.

Not condoms. They'll degrade from the heat.
