It's Mid-Autumn Festival today, Happy MAF!

Full moon symbolises reunion and Mid-Autumn Festival is the day for family reunion when you eat lantern and play mooncake while looking at the round round moon. Hope to see the jade rabbit tonight =)

Every year during Mid-Autumn, one thing that I'm concerned with is the mooncake container (do you call it a tin or a can?). Don't test me about its manufacturing process (that one can ask Prof Seah), but one thing I know is it's made of metal, and I find it quite wasteful that after we have finished with the mooncakes, we just throw the container away. I do reuse a few of the containers to keep small small stuff like nails, but how many containers can I keep?

Actually I think the waste management companies have magnets to sort out the rubbish and recycle the metal. But isn't it more efficient if the mooncake companies buy back the tin from us and reuse next year? Hey afterall the cover designs are the same every year!
