Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Our sister blog Green Daily has a list of 21 things you can do with old coffee grounds (besides, I would assume, using them again to make more coffee). A couple of the ideas I've heard before, such as adding coffee grounds to plants to help them grow and hanging them in closets to absorb odors, but a couple of them are rather intriguing. Using coffee grounds to soften your hair? Making temporary tattoos? Interesting.
If one of your resolutions is to be a little bit more green in 2008 and reuse items and recycle and all that, maybe there's an idea or two on here you can use.

If someone doesn't drink coffee, or needs a lot of grounds for gardening, you can arrange to have Peet's Coffee save their coffee grounds for you to use.

I wonder if the ant repellant nature is also a factor of it just disguising odors by masking the scent of ant trails... Interesting post otherwise for the other uses.
