Put them in the spokes of your bicycle!

I know its a little disgusting, but I sometimes keep a few in my wallet to use as toothpicks – I have a gap between two teeth that a normal toothpick can’t fit into, and I’m always getting bits of apple stuck there, plus I get the train every day!

As I said, its a bit disgusting because of the possible dirt and grime, but as my Grandad always said “You have to eat a ton of it before you die!”

this is obvious if you’re in college: use them as filters to smoke weed! ;P

This may sound silly. But you can use them as TP and save twice as much paper.

Use them as reference bookmarks for things you read that you might want to refer back to later (you can tear/cut them into smaller pieces).

If you surf on the catalogue of the public libraries of Paris, you can find a wonderful book with special origami patterns for subway tickets :-)

I’ve made quite a lot of jumpig frogs with metro tickets, my little sisters simply loved them!

Use them as homemade business/contact cards to hand out to people.

Put them in your bike wheels so they make a cool sound when your spokes hit them.

Sell them to people trying to get a metro ticket, then run away before they realize it’s an old ticket (just kidding).
