paper rolls/tubes bars from lolly pop sticks

This might have come up before but just to let folks know, Wal-Mart and possibly other places have a candy making section with lolly pop handles in packages, different lengths, and sometimes on sale for well under two dollars. They are a bit larger then the Q-tip paper rolls I save for small diameter pole/tubes or whatever. These take marker/paint well and are about five inches long. If you need strong tubes or bars for a project and a a little fumbly or just a bit lazy like me, then these may have a place in your models. Gun barrels, masts, supports, what ever, they are paper and already made. I like the Q-tips for many things, but these are longer and a bit heavier so just one more option. Thanks guys,
