How many times have you been at a Church party, the school carnival or a BBQ in the park and the drips from the giant thermos of lemonade have made the floor horribly sticky? I tell you, I've been to a lot of them. It always makes me crazy. I know we've put towels down and spent hours mopping but there is a better way.....
Today while I was helping to serve chili at the American Red Cross blood drive, I saw this....

I know, it's a two-liter bottle cut in half with a hole in the top. But, look at what it does...

You hang it from the spigot of a giant thermos (or a coffee urn, in this case) and it catches all the drips. Isn't it fabulous? I can't wait to use this sometime.... I don't know when, but I'm going to use it for sure! (They left the bottom so it was full - kind of cut it like an L shape, I guess, with a hole on the top.)
