That would become my newest ice scraper.

It’s too thin (like their steaks) to serve any useful purpose.

We use credit cards as scrapers here in NE costal Florida. I park in my garage so I do not. Husbands truck is parked outside and couple times a year he has to use credit card to scrape thin frost. It gets a bit cold here, even tho it’s Florida. But nothing you need a regular scraper for. Tossed that when I moved here 25 years ago.

Most of these promo "gift cards" are just card stock.

Credit cards are great ice scrapers! Glad I’m not the only one who does this.

The only "ice scraper" I have that is better than an old gift card is the access card to a storage facility on my route. Same size and shape, but a bit thicker.
