    I was sorting through a box of CDs recently and found a handful of shrinkwrapped AOL disks. Looks like they go for a few bucks each on eBay now, probably for the novelty factor or as frisbees. I should have stashed a few more. :D

      When the Circuit City in my neighborhood was shutting down, they set out all their “freebie” items on the sidewalk. There were several HUGE boxes - like 3’x3’x3’ aisle display boxes - absolutely stuffed with AOL CDs, and a sign that said “Free”. I grabbed a few armfuls and took them home. I used a bunch as frisbees and coasters, but then quickly ran out of uses for them. I would find them in random places around the house for several years after.
