Love these things! Inexpensive and useful. Easy to write on and dispose of when necessary. Also useful for cleaning between teeth, starting a fire (you do need matches, sold separately), marking places in books, cooling you off (fan option requires wrist flexibility), leveling small tables (when used in larger quantities they will need to be held together by the plastic in which they came or a rubber band (sold separately)). Also useful for making lists for spouse (though they seem to get frequently lost - consider a tracking device or the ever-popular larger 8"x11" paper).
Speaking of the original packaging, in their shrink-wrapped state you can 1) throw them at intruders (those corners can be vicious!) 2) holding open larger books 3) wedging under doors to prevent curious children from entering 4) building blocks 5) juggling, though again, those sharp corners...
The lines are also very nice. I am kept organized and my writing doesn't slowly curve down as it moves across the surface. The red line shows me which way is up, but if I'm feeling rebellious I put the red line on the bottom. I know!! And the opposite blank side is, of course, ((TRIGGER ALERT)) a blank space. Some people can find so much open blankness as horrifying, but others see an opportunity for expression. Start slowly and try both sides. You might prefer one over the other! And if you never use one side, don't worry. There is no wrong side.
They feel slightly thinner than index cards of my youth. But I was also slightly (ahem) thinner in my youth, so maybe it's just me and I'm stronger. YEAH! Crazy buff!
I'd buy these again in a heartbeat. Though, since I purchased 1000, I think I'm good to go for a while. Maybe I'll go make a fire....
