Remember When

Do you remember recycling the core of toilet tissue paper?

These card board tubes were used for several things, but I remember that they were often wrapped with decorative yarn or maybe painted and then used to store appliance cords are slip them over your toaster, waffle iron cord, etc for easier storage on the shelf.

I still have several that my mother made up and they even have a nicely typed note glued on the tube stating what the cord was for.

Do many of use utilize those methods to tidy things up today or do we like to rely on a handy cable clip?
