Dairies use them to transport
milk from the
bottler to your local
grocery store.
College students use them to store
books. I've always heard that it was
illegal to use them for anything other than transporting milk; if this is really so, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
rougevert points out what should've been
obvious to me: they are, in his words, "the
universal portable chair, popular with the
homeless and the
young especially." Because who, when you really get down to it, doesn't enjoy a good
sit?
