168 - Packing Peanuts

I got caught out by some packing peanuts today.

There was a horrible big bag of this nefarious packaging clogging up a corner of my box room. 

Assuming the best and expecting them to be water soluble, I poured the whole sackful into the bath. 

But the pesky peanuts were water resistant! Luckily I realised before I turned the tap on full. A bag of wet packing peanuts going stinky would be even worse than a bag of dry ones.

I scooped them out of the bath with a dustpan and brush. They tinkled innocently into the bag with the sound of gentle wind chimes. Strangely there were a few stray eco-friendly ones in there shaped like fat Wotsits.
