New, what is it? I found this handy dandy, purple plastic tube.

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

The cylinder must remain unharmed

u/Sean_theLeprachaun 9h ago

And thats the other 5%

u/ThatNentendoGamer 9h ago

Wrong. It's the real 95%

u/theaviationhistorian 6h ago

I came to this thread to see if the cylinder was already harmed.

u/danielcs78 4h ago

I came to this thread to see if the girth lines up. It appears that it falls short.

u/TabooDiver 2h ago

No one harmed the cylinder, did they? Got here as quick as I could.

u/X_Circuit_Blossom_X 8h ago

My mind went first to that lol

u/dph3onix 4h ago

Most drugs stuff is sex toys to someone eventually. 100% sex toys.

u/Minimum-Web-6902 8h ago

Banana for scale ?

1

u/theTman1221 7h ago

Only if it's warm and mashed

1

u/Minimum-Web-6902 6h ago

Sooo plantanos?

2

u/Organic_Smile_8731 8h ago

Well because those are the only answers.

u/neo_sporin 8h ago

Can confirm, it’s where my head went

u/Sean_theLeprachaun 7h ago

I see what you did there.

u/dph3onix 8h ago

Sex toys

u/BigDeuceNpants 10h ago

It is THE cylinder.

u/Asron87 9h ago

Man that thing is huge.

u/Fairemont 9h ago

You're right. It is big.

u/GoonFactoryCEO 9h ago

I don’t think there’s enough butter and microwaved banana in the world to fill that bad boy

1

u/Specialist_News7318 1h ago

4 inches?. That's not big

3

u/SomeCall_me_Tim 8h ago

No banana for scale?

2

u/No_Not_Jesus 8h ago

I'm sure there's plenty of women out there that would prefer this size cylinder over the bigger 6inch cylinders... Sigh

2

u/MagicOrpheus310 7h ago

Gonna need two bananas...

2

u/Asron87 7h ago

Mashed up and microwaved.

2

u/Mysterious_Repeat989 6h ago

Does it have a cylinder in it?

2

u/Zilant_the_Bear 8h ago

No, it's the tube. The cylinder was attached to a larger structure and stuck inside the tube.

2

u/lkodl 5h ago

Wow, this whole time I thought the cylinder stuck in the m&m's mini tube was a penis. Turns out it was just another plastic tube. I need therapy.

u/MayerOscar 6h ago

It is imperative

u/Cool_Trick4899 9h ago

Oh it needs reshaped

It Is Imperative

u/EfficiencyPlenty4415 7h ago

Do you guys think this dude ever used Reddit again? I mean this reference is everyyyywhere 😂

1

u/Long-Jackfruit427 7h ago

Girth wise that is a “small cylinder”.

u/redmav7300 32m ago

I guessed immediately this would be one of the top comments before I opened it.

American money only though. Our money made of drugs

THE CYLINDER MUST REMAIN UNHARMED

u/faifairie 8h ago

yall weird asf

u/asicarii 11h ago

In fairness, lots of things can be used for drugs. This included.

23

u/NoctRob 11h ago

It is imperative that the cylinder remain unharmed.

7

u/YetAnotherBee 11h ago

Nah the second I saw a plastic tube I knew half the comments would be cylinder related

3

u/TheGildedNoob 11h ago

I thought it was one of those old M&M tubes.

2

u/impossiber 10h ago

Well they sell joints in tubes that look just like this so it’s not a bad guess

2

u/PaintedDesertSkies 7h ago

Drugs or sex. And always handling with bare hands.

2

u/Chemical-Cat 7h ago

really because I thought the first answer was gonna be everyone fighting to say "THE CYLINDER MUST REMAIN UNHARMED" first to get the upvotes

1

u/CIASP00K 6h ago

"the cylinder and the larger structure must remain unharmed"

2

u/sm00thkillajones 6h ago

It has plenty of room for my hopes and dreams but not my failures.

2

u/deborah834 5h ago

Please don't summon the vibrators back

1

u/Hailstatenation 10h ago

The other 5% are sex toys

1

u/Background-Fennel92 10h ago

Its an old mini m&m tube

1

u/tryingtoexplaim 10h ago

I think it’s for tiny medication like supplements or something I used to have a blue one they came in.

1

u/goodSunn 10h ago

It would be a very small phallic substitute. A bit longer and thicker and responses would flip to 95% 2 answers

1

u/changeneverhappens 10h ago

My dumb ass- "it's an M&M minis tube, duh"

1

u/Yungsandwichslayer 10h ago

Tbf it is a pop tube

1

u/Local3Sparkie 10h ago

And this just so happens to be for drugs. Most likely.

1

u/Noijoi55632 9h ago

Well it’s definitely a pre roll container, so yea

1

u/sedersayspoop 9h ago

95% of this sub is also like, "what is this plastic tube?" It's a plastic tube...

1

u/LasagnaSwirls 9h ago

To be fair, in this case it could be. I get some vape carts in those tubes from the dispo.

1

u/Kprq3 9h ago

I swear this sub should be renamed to "snoop seeking snitch"

1

u/Slierfox 9h ago

Other 5% small dick jokes 🤷🏼‍♂️

1

u/Scoopdoopdoop 9h ago

I mean it's for a joint right? Not really drugs drugs

1

u/Mantis_Toboggan--MD 9h ago

To be fair, every joint that's not in a pack comes in these sorts of containers from the store. But there'd be sticker residue all over it from the label thingy.

1

u/Ghost-Sync 9h ago

Hey, the last 30 or so tubes I got like that had thc vapes or pre rolls

1

u/26uhaul 9h ago

I say mini m&ms, which is a drug to me.

1

u/Accurate-Plankton988 8h ago

Love this thread

1

u/sarahdrums01 8h ago

I mean, it is though.

1

u/fck47fckh8 8h ago

It’s a preroll tube for weed so not drugs

1

u/AccomplishedMeal5467 8h ago

I used to put my blunts in those.

1

u/faifairie 8h ago

well it looks like a joint preroll casing so .. yeah but not a bad drug haha

Guess you don't get the joke

1

u/Agile-Replacement433 8h ago

As someone in a state with legal weed, these are the tubes that pre-rolled joints are sold in and is the first thing I thought of.

1

u/xRedditGedditx 7h ago

Although, at least for me, I buy them and keep my cannabis vape pen in them 🥴

1

u/StrawberryK 7h ago

That's because 95% of things can be used for drugs

1

u/Wonderful_looks90 7h ago

No not drugs. Joints.

1

u/platypusbelly 7h ago

I mean, they DO sell preroll joints in these plastic containers…

1

u/Then_Idea_9813 7h ago

I would store my joint in it for carrying to concerts

1

u/whydidwegethere 7h ago

They are for joints, so yeah. You're right.

1

u/MarsupialAdvisor 6h ago

I mean, thats the style of container prerolled joints are sold in.

Its either m&ms or joints.

1

u/atrexias 6h ago

Isnt this just a container for mini m&ms with the label peeled off?

1

u/dasbtaewntawneta 6h ago

i thought it was all butt plugs

1

u/LayneLowe 6h ago

I ordered a grinder a few years back, a tube like that came with it , they said it was the hole joints.

1

u/ViolentlyStewedUp 5h ago

This one might not be. Joint tubes are usually basic with a slight taper, no ridges for a label, and in single boring color like black or clear. I'm betting drink mix

1

u/FullofLovingSpite 5h ago

Because it looks like the purple pre roll containers that you get when you buy a pre roll from the weed store.

1

u/AlaskaStiletto 5h ago

It looks like the tubes my prerolls come in.

1

u/PoolMotosBowling 5h ago

Weed vape cartridge container, so, yeah... Drugs

1

u/Bro13847 5h ago

I could think of ways to use this for drugs, but it could also have held candy or something.

1

u/Kyruss_88 5h ago

Close, it's used to collect urine for a drug test. 😂

1

u/Optimal-Pudding-7171 4h ago

I use identical orange colored one for toothpicks 😅

u/KORZILLA-is-me 34m ago

Not a lot of people know this about the sub, but you can put your weed in it.

u/I8vaaajj 11h ago

Pot is a drug? Ok boomer

u/Plane-Education4750 10h ago

It is tho. As is alcohol
