I'll miss film canisters

I remember when I was a child my parents had a few old tin Sucrets containers they used to store some other items (for some reason I can't remember what the items were - some other medicine I think).

For years I've used plastic 35mm film canisters for other purposes. When I lived in an apartment and did my laundry at a coin-operated machine, I found the containers perfect for holding quarters. I occasionally travel overnight for work and I keep vitamins in a film canister and some aspirin in another.

With the rise of digital photography, including my own conversion, I'll have a lack of canisters. Obviously better for the environment, but I'll still miss them.

Just a simple Google search returns a host of sites about re-using the canisters, including several links to sites on how to build a rocket from them.
