What would you put in a Charlotte time capsule?

In yesterday's column, I answered a reader's question about a time capsule buried in 1959 at Charlottetown Mall. And I posed this question: What would you put in a time capsule buried today in Charlotte? I'm curious what you have to say.

I'd put Pat McCrory in it - based on early polling - it looks like that's the only way we can get rid of him...

An IPod, and an IPhone as well as the trendiest outfit one could find. Plus, an issue of Uptown Magazine would be a nice addition to the time capsule.
