I wonder what "limited lifetime warranty" means.
Press them to make a real world save point.
see how many of them it takes to hold a single 4K image
That's just over 8MP.
You could easily store a 4K Image on a floppy in half-way decent quality, two with visible jpeg artifacts.
Unwrap them and open it and then put them all back so they look used. Write on the box in sharpie "Backups 1/127". Delete the critical production system at your work. When someone asks where the backups are, hand them these.
Buy a USB floppy drive for each one and then create a RAID 0 disk array. It'll be super quick and gloriously noisy.
Insert them into your urethra!
Insert them into John McAfee's urethra!
Gift them as cup coasters.
manually etch the bits yourself. Just use a hammer and chisel
Go play a very public and dramatic round of disc golf

Anus... Right into the anus...
Throw them at junior sysadmins like shuriken.
Use them to make a bootleg copy of Duke Nukem to share with your friends. That's what we used to do with them lol
It says they're high density, so use them as ammo for your rail gun
Butt stuff.

crunchy but old snack
Finally update device drivers in Windows the right way!
Mount nine of them on a square board so that they're all focused on a single point for a mild solar furnace.
Use the last one to look at yourself, the proud owner of a mild solar furnace.
Sue the maker for false advertising. 1.44MB is clearly not High Density.
It is compared to their predecesssor.
The 720kb "double density" diskette used for example, in Commodore Amiga computers.
TDK's revenue has been increasing steadily at least starting from 2010. When was the last time you bought a TDK product?
Glue two on top of your flip flops. You now unlocked the floppy flip flops
Be wild! Copy that floppy!
Thank Lord they come already formatted.
