A multifunctional shopping trolley

Here are just a few uses for a shopping trolley that I've come across...

1. The normal shopping trolley where you carry your groceries through the supermarket and later transport them to your car. (If your lazy enough and you dont want to carry your groceries home, you can go beyond the red line and take the trolley home, there is no such thing as an alarm that will go off)


2. As means of transportation through the crowded streets of Cairo


3. Why invest in a BBQ grill, when you can have this shopping trolley for a pound?


4. Trolleys made their way into sculptures. The British artist Abigail Fallis has created the first model of DNA made of shopping trolleys entitled DNA DL90.


5. They even made their way to the recycling world. Ptolemy Elrington made the sculptures from discarded shopping trolleys pulled out of rivers by RiverCare volunteers.


6. Shopping cart chairs - Reestore are a company who 'take everyday waste objects and cheekily turn them into charming yet functional pieces of furniture and accessories' and their converted shopping cart chairs are a perfect example of the quality of their work


7. The shopping cart/ Bicycle Hybrid. The Cartrider is an invention from Korean designer Jaebeom Jeong which combines a shopping cart with a bicycle, resulting in a rideable goods carrier which is supposed to make shopping a less punishing task


Has anyone come across anything else?
