    burp..!

    I eat mine, nobody goes near what is left behind 24 hours later.

    Egg and Goldfish are the tastiest, often followed by a Mint for dessert!

    ;)
    Beware Lego Men with Deep pockets...! :cool:

    Sand off both sides of the credit card and use it to fill walls with filler?
    Get the chip and toss it into a fire.

    All that burning and melting and releasing toxic fumes into the atmosphere. Whatever happened to eco-friendliness? Spare a thought for the environment, use a rock and smash the hell out of the card.

    I smash mine violently with a tungsten carbide hammer, and shred it into fine particles with a sander. I then burn these particles ferociously in a high-oxygen atmosphere, and dissolve the ash in concentrated sulphuric acid. I subject this fluid to an ultra-strong magnetic field to remove any remaining memory, and then place it in a particle accelerator and bombard it with heavy nuclei until all the atoms have changed into different elements. Finally I encase the resulting goo in glass and have it taken into space on the next available mission, and fired in the general direction of the nearest black hole.

    Only once have I been defrauded - by the hyper-intelligent beings of Alpha Centauri, who intercepted the card and bought a toaster on eBay.

    I just pop mine in the microwave on HIGH for 10 seconds (it's a 1000W output, so remember to adjust the cooking times appropriately for your oven ;) ) and then shred the result.
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice

    Mmm. Now I am eagerly awaiting the expiry of my next card, so I can discover what effect the microwave has. I am imagining a wonderful flexible, floppy card that can be stretched like cheese on a pizza.

    Can't be that intelligent - could have saved a few billion on postage if they'd bought locally.
