Thats a crap load of soda tabs! :o  I would probably have diabetes trying to get a gallon of soda tabs.  For 50 cents too, that's worse than doing the daily tasks. ;)  Seriously just recycle anything including the entire can and then donate your funds to the local childrens hospital or charity of your choice.  You can also donate to the childrens hospital through Fusion Cash with whatever amount you want to donate from your earnings.  Fusion Cash is awesome enough to match whatever amount you donate and write the check to said charity in your name.

I donate my soda tabs to the Ronald McDonald house because when my daughter was in her final trimester with her twins and went into labor early we had to stay at the Ronald McDonald  house and the people were great. They provided evening meals for us and we just paid what we could for the stay.

OMG ... that would a lot of soda's to get a gallon full of tabs.
But would be a good idea to leave the gallon in a workplace breakroom and everyone can pitch in.
It would make for a good fundraiser to help charity ... every little bit helps.

I have tried to save them in the past, but I never usually got past filling about a pint of the gallon. It takes a long time, especially when 2 liters are a better deal to buy.

 yeah i agree on that one cause i'd rather have a 2 liter too. but like the other ones said..have the people in ur work place pitch in and the money will go to charity.

I appreciate the thought and thanks for letting us know about this way to make a difference.  This might just be feasible for a restaurant or other such business.  I don't know the going rate for recycling cans though I have recycled a ton of scrap metal from my years in construction and made much more than most would believe. 8)

That would save my teeth.  I have a habit of pulling off the tab and chewing on them.
