I've seen them used as lightweight compressed air reservoirs to power bicycles. The tops can be used as cloches, a small hole in the bottom turns them into waterers, they can float a raft or dock, be turned into terrariums, store water for a thermal wall or protect plants from freezing. There is a whole bunch of stuff you can do with these.
Honestly, all I've ever done with them is recycle them.
At one time we had a dog water dish that you screwed a 2-liter bottle onto, but our stupid pup just chewed on the bottles and we ended up with lots of water on the floor.
flatten and us for tug of war toy for dogs.
storage for art brushes.
water for watercolor art classes.
the caps are great mixer cups for acylic art paint
hot weather freeze and carry water
harmless weapons for children or adults acting like children
I use them to water larger plants. Cut the bottom off, place the top in a piece of pipe (PVC left over from a plumbing project), and slide the pipe into the dirt. Fill with water and the plant will drink what it needs. This also works great for watering the Christmas tree.
My husband uses them as bins for storing screws, nails, bolts, and whatever all of that other *ahem* "stuff" is that used to be loose all over the table in the work shop.
I don't buy much of anything in plastic bottles, but I assume you're referring to 2 liter soft drink bottles? Those would be good for filling with water for emergency water storage.
Speaking of that, I've got a buddy who says you can stick a big potato on the end of a 22 rifle, and that'll work as a silencer too.
Your buddy watches too much CSI...........
