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?

I wish I wasn’t that person, but that packaging seems so wasteful for a single use powder.

Everyone on this thread knows it's not single use now.

But the person who explained it said it's single use...

They meant you can use it to store joints after you’ve used it for it’s intend purpose

I have low caffiene tolerance but bought zipfizz before I was as such. So I don't use the tube in one serving and have them squirreled around all over in case of sleepy emergency

Not single use. Put a doob in the tube. Recycle.

It's more recyclable than a plastic envelope

Na, dont be embarrassed about that. If anything more people need to think that way.

Maybe packaging like this hit its peak with rolls of film. It was single-use, but that single-use lasted forever (potentially). And there is probably stuff people know about keeping film out of the light and away from skin oils, etc.

That's why you keep re-filling it with nose candy.
