I have the the pringles container and a round clear plastic circle (its of a milk carton so is a little opaque but what the heck).

Now, what do I do with the straw, paperclip and bubblegum?

They're part of the equatorial mount that can hold 4 pounds in weight, but the Pringles can with the clear plastic bottle, all of 150 grams, will have to do!. But you have to make sure that the straw is one of those flexi ones? :wink:
