What practical purpose could this have? What should/can I do with it?

I was thinking the same thing, but Zipfizz are individually labeled.

So, someone went to the effort to peel the sticker, which means they were using it to transport something else (like drugs, lol). Or, they bought a product (like drugs) that uses the same tube.

Purely speculation on my part. All parties are innocent until proven guilty, of course.

Or he/she just likes to pull to label off of things

You’re right. It’s not always drugs. I was being a little facetious.

I used one of these tubes to store Advil and another for a mini repair kit for backpacking.

If it was a Zipfizz tube, though, the labels are indeed quite difficult to remove. One would need a purpose for removing the label that cleanly, which is why I stand by my comment: If it was a Zipfizz container, it’s been repurposed intentionally for holding something else or it never was a Zipfizz container to begin with.

It’s just a data point for OP to consider.

ZipFizz. Comes in many flavors, including grape. The tubes look exactly like this when you take the label off.
