I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only) (feddit.org)

Several years ago, I found a 3.5" floppy in an old desk, so I wrote "(My company's product) Production backup - DO NOT LOSE" on the label, and then left it on the floor in a main hallway of our office.

In my mind, it hopefully made a few people chuckle, but my real dream was that someone picked it up and tried to return it to the development team.

Now I want to do this at my job... I actually have a box of 5.25" floppies somewhere...
