Do you collect anything?

Lots of people collect things...dolls...ceramic figurines...books...animals.
I've got a pretty large collection of vinyl records.
And of course, there is my collection of sound equipment.
But my latest collection...you may not believe it.
Lime Freezer-Pops™
Kind of an odd thing to be collecting, you might say...but there it is.
I currently have twenty-four of them.
24!!!
And you know what?
I hate Lime Freezer-Pops™. 
And that is why I have a collection of them.
You see, every time I buy a pack, I get three lime ones.
I won't eat them.
So they are slowly building up in the freezer. 
I'm hoping I don't end up running out of room. 
I hate to just throw them away, because they are perfectly good Lime Freezer-Pops™ (if you like lime).
So I have decided what I am going to do.
I'm gonna hand them out when the kids come trick-or-treating on Halloween. 
Maybe that'll stop the little (expletive deleted) from coming back next year.

Your collection is one of a kind and hard to maintain. Yeah, I have a collection too: old coins, old bottles and ancient things.

Maybe that is why you have so many old friends.

@GardenGerty Ha ha, old friends collect old things. Maybe the passion comes with the age of one's person.

So you will hoard them there when they got expired? I still use my CD and cassettes collection. I have a videogame console collection. I use to collect books but now all of my books are ebooks in Kindle.

It's frozen flavored water, they probably won't expire anytime soon...unfortunately...I'd have a reason to throw them out if they did

I could wait until I have an entire bag-full and then take them back to WalMart and say they came that way

I've been thinking about getting rid of hundreds of vinyl albums, hundreds of 8-tracks, hundreds of cassette tapes, and literally thousands of books, to un-clutter the house. Any ideas how?

Good idea about giving those lime freezer-pops to children during trick or treat.
I collect stamps and ref magnets. I also collect bad memories from bad life decisions. I got the scars and the tortured soul to show for it.

@fufurinha I've just never cared for limes, the same way I don't like spinach...I just don't care for the taste

I suppose if you like the taste of lime they are good, but I can't stand them

I have a huge collection of scarves. All coulours and patterns and textures. Some heavy for the winter and others for the summer. I was fascinated with them since before I was in my teens and even though I brought none with me when I moved here, I seem to have accumulated an enormous amount now 
Your idea of what to do with those ice lollies is evil

The cool thing about those things is that they don't necessarily have to stay frozen. You can take them out and stick them in the pantry when you get too many of the little green monsters in there, and put them back in when hell freezes over and you realize you actually like Lime Freezer-Pops.™

We buy them (multi-flavor) for the dog, she gets one a day as a treat - she loves them. If we run out might have to borrow some from you! (She loves green)
