Kuwaiti perfume bottle collector tries for world record
At least he isn’t collecting burgers:
A citizen of Kuwait has applied to Guinness World Records for his collection of over 5,000 perfume bottles to be recognized as a world record, the Kuna news agency reported on Monday.
An astronomer by profession, Adel Al-Sadoun started collecting perfume bottles some 15 years ago, as he was charmed by the unique design created by perfume companies for their fragrances.
After gaining national fame for his unusual hobby, his collection was expanded by bottles given to him by friends and well-wishers. Some of the items are around 100 years old. [Source]

At least it is not related to FOOD !!!
Should have donated my collection of perfume bottles before I dumped them
I wonder how many all of us would have by now if we’d kept every bottle we ever bought or were given??

This hobby is well known in places like switzerland.
People over there decorate their houses with it, it might sound stupid but they way they do it is very clean & neat.
Aside from that, some of them collect the top covers of tiny milk pots.
