It’s been about 2 decades ever since the time when we still had to use 3.5” floppy disks for almost everything computer-related. Now that those days are gone, what do we do with the floppy disks that we have at home?
When Paul Strauss of Technabob realized that he had no more use of his floppy disks, he thought that they would make good drink coasters. Unfortunately for him, the moisture got inside the disks, and the disks scratched his coffee table.
Fortunately, someone had the same idea as Strauss, but he made sure that no moisture would get in the disks, and the coffee table safe from scratches.
TechnoChic makes these fun retro coasters from old floppies which have been covered in vinyl, then backed with cork.
You can grab a set of five floppy coasters over on TechnoChic’s Etsy shop for $25. They’re also available in colors if you’re looking for something a little more vibrant.

No love for those bigger and really "floppy" ones from the earlier days?
