I was in a restaurant the other day, and paid with a debit card. The receipt of said transaction included the last 4 digits of my social, and the entire CC#! This is amazing, I can't believe this kind of information was right in front of my face, in mostly undestructable form, as well.
I could buy a shredder, and shred everything. I could buy an incinerator, and burn it. But, I ponder more enjoyable methods..
This idea is to have restaurant reciepts that include pertinent information (and any reciepts for that matter) to be printed on bubble gum. I can clean my mouth after a chessburger and beer and rid the worries of identity theft all in one go!-- daseva, Feb 07 2006 Would you like soy-based ink with that?

My friend does this. Crams the entire thing into his mouth in one go. Swallows it too. Does notebook paper also. I'm wondering about newspaper...-- DesertFox, Feb 11 2006 Well, with credit card receipts, there is a copy for both parties in the transaction. I guess their's could be paper, but I betcha they'd choose bubble gum given the choice.-- daseva, Feb 11 2006 Kinda reminds me of the sugar paper I used to eat as a kid. That stuff was great.

I heard several years ago, around the time everyone was worried about BPA in water bottles, that receipt paper commonly contains BPA. If true, your friend probably got a lot more of it than even the most avid hydrators.-- notexactly, Dec 06 2018 What you need is a small sachet of cellulase powder you can sprinkle on the receipt, which will convert it to glucose.-- nineteenthly, Dec 06 2018 [citation needed]-- notexactly, Dec 06 2018 As you wish.
<link>-- 8th of 7, Dec 06 2018 Instead of swiping a credit card perhaps payment to the restaurant for your meal could be in eatable ingredients, such as a bunch of carrots, a chicken, a handfull of raw pasta, etc.-- el dueno, Dec 12 2018 random, halfbakery
