I generally do not drink juice, but recently decided to buy oj to have around for my kid.  As COVID-19 exploded onto New York City, the Tropicana bottle neared emptiness.  Once it all had been drunk it went into the recycling bin.  At this time a friend sent me a link to DIY face shields and a call to artists to make them if they had plastic sheets.  I did not have any plastic sheets.  However, following a particularly alarming walk in my neighborhood, I pulled it out.  I thought, who knows, rather than recycling, it may be immediately useful.  Turns out that a Tropicana bottle makes for a reasonable face shield, all be it that I have no idea what the appropriate gauge is for a face shield, but hey it is solid plastic and holds liquid in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the finished cut up Tropicana bottle as face shield.  It works great to cover my entire face, but I have glasses, so it feels better to be worn below my glasses.  After the initial wearing, the rubber band broke, so an elastic band works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/images\/2020\/tropicanaFaceShield2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Tropicana face shield over dust mask and below glasses.
