I’ve acquired over 9,000 Chuck E. Cheese tokens and hope to one day have 100,000. My wife is getting concerned about where I’ll store them. Where would you suggest?

r/

Like the title says I’ve been filling a 6-gallon jug with chuck with cheese tokens people have been sending to me as part of a project I’m doing. I’m almost at 10,000 and the jug is almost full. As part of the project I’ve committed to accepting up to 100,000 tokens. I live in a 2br apartment with my wife and we’re thinking of having a kid soon so the bedroom I’m using to store the tokens will likely not be available long term.

    A storage unit.

    Or as a wiser redditor said: your butt. Maybe even your mom’s butt. I know there’s lot of room in there.

    It’s also completely possible that someone who wants children would rethink their priorities and throw the fucking things away.

    Unless you have kids and are getting these tokens while bonding with your child this is weird as fuck. I think if you don’t have kids you should throw away all of those tokens and stay away from Chuck E cheese forever lol

    I’d suggest re-evaluating your priorities.

    If you’re looking for a better solution than the one everyone has already mentioned, it would make most sense from a practical and financial perspective to store the chuck e cheese tokens in your butt

    I am British and have no idea what a Chuck E. Cheese is.

    But cheese is awesome. So make of that what you will.

    All hail cheese.

    Hide them in the wall.

    Your baby doesn’t need an insulated bedroom when they’re gonna be set for life when the Token market goes up.

    See Breaking Bad for instructions.

    If you swallow a couple of them every day eventually you won’t have to store them in a bedroom

    Tokens? When I went to my nephews bday party they only had the tap cards

  12. Mental_Volume3920 Avatar

    Most Chuck E Cheeses use a card now instead of tokens. You can just put those tokens on a card, and keep putting more tokens on it as you get them. Then save the card until you are ready to redeem.

    Ask men approved this question, brilliant!

    Put them in a chest, bury it somewhere, create a cryptic yet solvable map, accidentally let the map get out to the public. Place a trail-cam at the site of the burying

    Someone will be so excited and then so disappointed and you will get it all on video.

    Dude, you are awesome. Better to have goals in life than not. Tell your wife you want to be an example to your child that if you put your mind to it, you can do anything!

    How much does 9,000 tokens weigh? Supposedly a five-gallon water jug completely filled with pennies will weigh over 200 pounds and be worth under $500, which is both impressive and disappointing.

    You’ll probably be able to store them anywhere, soon enough, since your wife will probably leave you for collecting 1200lbs of Chuck E. Cheese tokens and trying to store them in your two bedroom apartment.

    The one left in my area has switched to a swipe card for points to replace physical tokens.
    Before you get too deep I’d call your local store & confirm that they still can accept tokens!

    turn them into thnickels and put em in a sock

    Store your tokens on the blockchain!

  21. Possibly_Naked_Now Avatar

    You get 6 buckets and fill them evenly. Use the buckets as a table surface, and store them under said table.

    Put the rare ones in a collection display case. Cover the floor of your basement (when you get a house) in a token floor. Maybe design and mix it up based on polished and shiny vs. dull and dark. (Like a copper penny floor.)

    $2250 in tokens with a goal to have 25k in tokens.

    My God that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in ages.

    Just move your wife out and keep them on her side of the bed?

    Useless commitments like this are my shit. I get not everyone will understand it, but I say keep it up. Sometimes you need to make your own meaning in life.

    As for what to do with them, the only solution I can think of is to make an artificial floor of plywood, first in an easy place, and eventually spread out everywhere, and have your household sitting on the foundation of Charles Entertainment Cheese

    I don’t know where to store them but I know you absolutely 100% should not listen to your wife.

    Also in your butt.

    What’s the likelihood that Chuck E Cheese goes out of business before you accumulate the remaining 90,000 tokens? I respect an obscure collection/hobby but this is getting to be fiscally irresponsible

    Big treasure chest like a pirate!

    At Check E. Cheese with the rest of the tokens.

  37. BlottomanTurk Avatar

    Display the rare ones, keep the rest in Home Depot buckets (toss in some desiccants to reduce the chance of corrosion-causing moisture).

    They are digital. Turn them in without redeeming and you’ll get a receipt with the amount you have. But you knew this. You’re just karma farming.

    I mean, its just 9 more jugs. Look around, where can you fit 9 jugs? Hell, just go out and buy 9 more jugs, and store them around your house now

    On one hand, buying them all right now may feel wasteful, but if you think about it, if you bought them 1 by 1 as you filled each one, by the time you hit your 10th, it may cost the same number as all 9 right now!

    You plexy glass around your room, about an inch away from the wall, and drop the tokens in like a giant shadow box.

    I mean 100,000 coins really shouldn’t take up that much space you should be able to fit that in 1 drawer

    Get a large acrylic tube, fill it with them, and turn it into a floor lamp

  49. Suppafly Avatar

    Do they no longer use the tokens? Assuming they still use them, they are basically money, I wouldn’t be saving them up.

  52. Geenmen Avatar

    Ok hear me out, crack open a 3D modelling software and make something out of of the 9K coins

    I mean like design a frame of a chair or maybe make the coins into a storage space themselves by attaching them to acrylic panels to create shelves or something.

    Making functional Art is a decent way to go about it instead of just tossing them into long term storage or something

    Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy a machine that prints tokens?

    All I’m going to say is, I don’t think divorce lawyers accept Chuck E Cheese tokens.
