Baby Talk: Reusing Baby Formula Cans

The trouble with most baby formula cans is that you never use all of the formula in one meal, and the cans don’t come with a plastic cap to preserve the remainder of the contents. Well, in my travels I have discovered a few. Both Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup and Frito-Lay dip containers have removable tops that fit these formula cans very well.

 So after you’ve polished off the chocolate milk or dived into the dip for the last time, save those lids. You never know what they will fit next.
