Years ago when my kid was at Cal Berkeley I baked every weekend and each Monday I packaged up coffee tins filled with homebaked cookies or fudge and sent it up to him via FedEx..wrapped each piece individually so it would not break. We went through at least a can of coffe each day so by the end of the week I had 5! Don't know what my kid did with all those empty coffee cans on his end but his dorm buddies called me on my birthday one year (at work no less) and sang Happy Birthday to me and I received a birthday card signed by all of them which of course I still have. This was about 1983-1984. Ah yes....empty coffee cans...! :)
