Large Box of Specimen Cups w/o Lids


Would make great kids cups. Never been used.

Jenny sends this one along, saying: “.. Specimen cups?  Like the ones used to keep … specimens?  Specimens such as urine?  Why use any old 50 cent plastic cup for your kid when you can give him one that may or may not have been used to store urine samples (or worse) of people who may or may not have medical problems?  It was listed in free, but I don’t think it’s worth the gamble.”

I’d have to agree. I think giving my children apple juice in something that looks like this:

178

is only destined to cause them problems later in life.

    Oh, you know someone snatched them right up. Now they’re probably trolling Craigslist for unused bedpans to use as serving bowls.

    Thanks. That just gave me the mental image of someone eating Cocoa Puffs out of a bedpan.

    What good is a specimen cup without a lid?? Sure you could put apple juice in it, but you can’t prevent the juice from being spilled. Someone out there has to have a large box of specimen lids without cups!

    I drank apple juice out of semen-tainted specimen cups when I was little and I turned out perfectly fine. What?

    My husband had a check-up last week. Since he is a stay at home dad he took our son with him. When I got home from work our son was playing with a specimen cup that the doctor had given him! My hubby assured me that it was new in the package.

    I laugh every time I see it on the floor of the playroom.
