Imagine..

Imagine a 10 year old girl with two pony-tails, with lots of oil on her hair, a lolly pop in her mouth goes jumping, hopping along a street carrying a megaphone and calling out the table of 2, 3 & 4 in a loop, at 6 pm.

Unconventional uses of Sack

Sack (known as "bori" in Urdu) is one of the most commonly used containers for multiple things, at least in Pakistan. It's commonly used for grains, coal, wood, metal utensils, etc. It can also be used to cover slippery floors and is also used in sack racing where a team of two people put their legs in it and run towards the finish line, a sport usually for kids. A sack full of sand is somewhat bullet proof, so it can be used in that way as well e.g at smaller posts.

But, there can be other unconventional ways to utilize it as well, some of which can be:

  • You can cut a sack into pieces and use instead of tissue papers in case you catch cold
  • You can make an umbrella out of it, which won’t last long though
  • Since there’s an increase of population of pick-pockets, you can create internal pockets out of a sack; at least it’s difficult to cut
  • A mobile pouch
  • A hat or a bed sheet or a rug, which can be useful in winters
  • Can be used for cleaning glass
  • Clothes for yourself or your pets or for a scare crow
  • You can punish your kid by keeping him into it for an hour or so, do make sure that there are enough holes to breathe though
  • Car cover, seat cover, or any other cover
  • One can try constructing a bridge all made with sacks

It’s upto your own imagination what other uses of a sack you come up with.
