Poll Results — What Do You Do With Your Mardi Gras Beads?

I've always wondered what people do with all those Mardi Gras beads once Mardi Gras is over, so I put up a poll about it.

Now I know where all those beads go and here are the answers:

43% - Give them to the kids

14% - Toss 'em in the trash

14% - Sell them on the black market

29% - Other

Under 'Other', some of the answers were:

'Give them to my friends in Arizona''

'Decorate the Christmas tree with them'

And one person said "Donate Them.'
