My lady says I may win that one.
At about .19cents a pair, ($38.35 for 200) I have been throwing many of my used earplugs in a ziplock bag,
today I washed them, A few drops of soap in the bag, hot water, and start smashing right in the bag, Rince then a couple of drops of bleach (predelute in water) hot water, again squeze smash in bag let sit 5 min. Rince again ALL IN THE SAME BAG, and squeze out water, take out and wrap in towel, roll up squeze out extra water now let set by a window in the sun.
15 min = save about $11. (& gas to get more) RECYCLING
If you had 1 sponge that cost $11., how much time would you spend cleaning it? (they are like little spongies.)
If I would have tried a bit harder the same time would have been for 150 +- pairs. =28.50 a yr.

I've never heard of these guys, but it does look interesting. I'd like to stroll though a show like that too. I wish they would come east sometime.

I went to this event last year and it was GREAT I'm going again. There were many KLR and other adventure bikes and riders. Great seminars, workshops and an excellent adventure film festival

You win. However, if I didn't get two 200-pk cases of EAR Classic
and Pura Fit-to-be Tried earpugs for free, I might be in the same
boat as you.
I am that cheap.

Hows does using "a" cottonball pulled into enough bits to make it a 10 hour shift in a machine shop compete ?
