The up-side to working in retail is having the opportunity to stay indoors for hours at a time and view multiple outfits, courtesy of the customers revolving in and out of the store. Luckily, I speak to these customers in order to get the much-appreciated 411 on the location of certain interesting and seemingly unattainable merchandise. Today, I had the good fortune of meeting a woman with an unbelievable bag. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. The amazing creation was a Pop-Tab Purse. Her daughter creates them and sells them on her own website. She originally began collecting pop tabs for her college, who was holding a fundraiser in which they would donate the pop tabs to charities that could then turn the aluminum goodies into a profit of thirty-three cents a pound. They are eco-friendly, free of sharp edges and refreshingly lightweight. See? Beer can do a body good!
