Yesterday I say a new type of 'cup insulation' (hot or cold) that will fit any cup. It is a strip of foam with plastic inserts that lies flat, but magically wraps/jumps around any container snuggly. These come in ugly colors, but could be ideal for protecting precious cups during transportaion or storage.

Sorry, I didn't learn the brand name, but they were 49 cents.

Is this it?

Nope, those are sleeves and won't form fit. The new ones are 1/4 foam and about 31/2" by 10" flat with attrocious color designs.

I'll go back to the store and ask

Thanks! Just curious. Where did you find them?

At a discount lumber place called Railroad Salvage. They were on the counter and all gone before I got up that far -- a mad house on Saturday morning. they have many 'one shot' items, but I'll ask the management.

You never know what you will find at those places. A friend of mine found a $1200.00 Dobro guitar at one a while back. It needed repair, but he got it for about $75.00 and it cost him about $100 to get it fixed.

My find last week were 22 simulated wood-grain covered shelves 8' by 3/4" by 20"

I'm just going to screw them over studs in a bedroom I am remodeling. That's three walls finished without mess or paint at a total cost of $47 including tax.

there is magic everywhere

Hard to beat that!

They are called Rad-O-Koolz

they lay flat, then snap around any size cup with protective,
insulating foam and jazzy colors. Obviously designed for beverages,
but fit anything.

Wow, you certainly wouldn't loose those! They'd be good for travelling I bet...

I will look those up.

Thanks very much!
