Abstract
A compact disc drink coaster includes a compact disc, and a protective backing. In a first preferred embodiment, the protective backing is fastened to the back of the compact disc. The large top surface of the compact disc may be easily printed with a design, name, slogan, or some other art work. In a second preferred embodiment, an edge spill ring may be placed around an outside circumference of the compact disc to prevent moisture from the top surface of the compact disc from spilling over the outside circumference thereof on to a resting surface. In a third preferred embodiment, an absorbent pad is fastened to the top surface of the compact disc to collect moisture from the bottom of a glass, can, or bottle. When the user is done with any of the compact disc drink coaster preferred embodiments, thereof may be placed in a compact disc jewel case which may be stored in a standard compact disc storage device.
