What is shinny on one side and dull on the other?

More hints:
4-3/4" x 7" and a stack of 10 of them is 1-3/16" thick.

They also break and give you 7 years of bad luck.

So that last one should have enabled most people here to know what this is.

If not see the next post.

So I walk in this store, there in a crate are these brown paper wrapped objects. Upon inspection I see they cost $1.00 and you get 10 of them in each wrapper.

Yes they are mirrors.

Now I can't walk out of the store without picking up a pack can I? Well I did the first and second time I visited but this last visit I just had to have them. curious wife wanted to know what I was going to do with them.... but I haven't a clue.

I did think about making a wall trim with a look like this I I I I I I mirrors being placed in each I I.

They still have half a crate of them so I can go get more....

Got some ideas for me?

You could go wild and make it easy to check your Brylcreeem at every part of the shop....

Is that my lens? Looks like I need to clean it. Lost the lens cap about 10 days or so ago and the new one came today so that is why it is so bad.... excuses excuses I know.

After a few chippendale mirrors at a $500 retail price you could always go to Google images-mirrors for more ideas.

Nice score, Ed.
As I read your post title I said "I Know what it is....duct tape!"

Do you know how duct tape and "The Force" (Star Wars) are alike?

Your car. And, if you drive it right, the shiny side will be up.

If I had a nice tool box like that I would put a mirror in it. I don't so I can't.

It has a light side and a dark side, and it is what holds this universe together?
