Product plugs: old-school earplugs, ZeroWater filter, Ziploc Big Bags and our awesome panini grill.

A few product plugs before they fall out of my head:

After giving up on my half-hearted search for them, they found me: old-fashioned military-issue-style earplugs. I lost one of my pair several years ago and I've only been able to find the newer triple-flange style since. I look forward to reintroducing them into my rotating selection of earplugs

There's an ear plug store? Wow.

I remember that those earplugs were the first I ever used. At a concert. They certainly worked, and I've wondered about them ever since.

As to the big bags, I saw those at Target the other day, and debated buying them. Maybe I'll give them a try, since you give them "thumbs up" ratings.

There are places that make custom-molded earplugs at $100+ per pair. No kidding.

I grew up fascinated by the then-military-issue earplugs because my dad's were stored in a clear plastic case that looped around the shoulder strap on his uniform. Years later, I learned they came in colors keyed to the earplug size and bought a couple of pairs at the Army/Navy surplus store in Arvada, but I lost one of the pair that fit ages ago.

Right now my two most used pairs are a pair of Aqua Hearos triple-flange earplugs for swimming and a pair of pink and neon yellow foam earplugs that are so bright I probably could find them in the dark. (:

I fit 18 skeins of Lion Boucle yarn into one of the large Big Bags. I haven't tried the XL or XXL size bags yet, but I suspect they'll be awesome for storing loose quilt batting and fake fur. (:

Haha! The Ear Plug Super Store! Thank you! I wish that they'd existed when last I looked for ear plugs, and I'm sure that I'll be looking through their catalogue!
