I hadn't thought of them holding eggs! I use them filled with water to take 
up freezer space and have ice on hand for coolers.  I also use them filled 
with water under remay to absorb heat and give it off at night.

I cut off the top, poke holes in the bottom, and use them for planting 
tomatoes...I move tomatoes from cell packs to the soda bottle and gradually 
fill the whole bottle with soil as the plant grows...it acts as a mini 
topless greenhouse when they are small, and produces deep roots as they grow 
(and I can see through the plastic how the roots are doing). If I have 
trouble getting the plant out, I can just cut them.

I also use the bottoms as scoops, the tops as funnels. and all sorts of 
things I can't remember.
