Ifixit's MacGuyver toolkit

[quote=“Steve_L, post:20, topic:26585”]Add a quarter or maybe a button magnet. Useful for deciding between two options, or for tossing down a hallway to distract a guard.[/quote]Way back in the day when we were making survival kits in Boy Scouts, it was often recommended to stick a quarter or two inside. It was said that there were actual cases where lost or stranded travelers made it to deserted cabins, only to be out of luck for lack of a quarter for whatever pay phone might be present. I guess the advice dated back to some obscure period in which operator-assisted calls didn’t exist.

In even earlier times one might have included a dime which would have served double-duty as a flathead screwdriver, but those days are long past.

Where’s the swiss army knife? McGuyver always had one.

Ah! Bubble gum finally makes sense.

If it doesn’t matter what it’s doing but it tastes bad, use the Sriracha.
