It's time to play "Donate or Trash" -- the game that answers whether or not things should be donated to a thrift store for resale! The rules are simple: If the item in question is something that another person can enjoy and would pay money for, the answer is
Donate! If it's an item that would not be appropriate and/or safe to share with others, the answer is
Trash!
Ready? Let's begin!
Item #1: Vintage golf practice kit in original box (complete with lightning bolts to show that it's
electronic):
 |
| Nobody knows what happened to Oscar Senior. |
If you answered
Donate, you're correct! Some thrift store-haunting woman might just buy this for her golf-obsessed dad for Father's Day.*
Item #2: An obviously opened and partially-used container of edible goods:
 |
| Clearly not sealed for your protection. |
If you answered
Trash, you're correct! It's not a good idea to resell potentially-contaminated food product at your local thrift store.
Item #3: Your grandmother's entire 347-piece bear figurine collection:
 |
| What do you call a group of bears? A pack? A herd? A cartload? |
That's right, the answer is
Donate! Someone whose grandmother also collects bears may need a cheap last-minute Christmas gift someday.
Item #4: A used tube of lip balm:
 |
| Um. ...Ew? |
If you answered
WHAT THE #@$&! IS WRONG WITH YOU, you're correct! Donating used personal items to a thrift store may result in your shoes being vomited upon, and/or getting beat up in a dark alley. Just saying.
That's all for today, folks! Join us next time for another exciting game of "Donate or Trash!"
