Shout Out: We’d like to shout out our fellow Waco, TX neighbors at Baylor Univ for their “Bear-ly Used” program to re-home student castoffs to local non-profits.

Hey Joshua and Nolan — love the name “Bear-ly Used”! (Very fitting, given Baylor’s mascot is a bear.) When you both graduate from Baylor’s B-school, make the short trip across town… we just might have a spot for each of you at repurposedMATERIALS!

Q: Do you know of a product(s) or invention(s) that became famous and well-known to solve a problem that they weren’t originally created for?? If “yes”, we’d love to hear your ideas!
|
|
|
|
Why do we ask? We’re trying to build an archive/catalog of such products and inventions that were “repurposes” of sorts.
Example #1: The blue pill was not originally invented to treat E.D.
Example #2: WD-40 was not originally invented as an all-purpose lubricant.
