My wife was baking a cake today and I decided to snag the lid off of the frosting container. It's a perfect fit! Air tight too. 
I found the perfect lid for my Old Spice mug - for free!

Hey, if it works!
The color matches nicely too!
I have a similar set up , a plastic lid from a container of sour cream
I don't usually put a lid on my soap mugs (including my Old Spice), but that one looks very nice, color match and all. Maybe I'll see if I can snag one. As a bonus, I might have to bake myself a cake!
It looks nice but I don't know why anyone would want to enclose a cake of soap. I never had one escape yet.
Ha! I love it.
Pringles lid works too.
You'd cover a soap to keep the scent...something that a guy might want to do if he's trying to prolong the delicate bouquet of Arko, for example.

Keeps it from getting soggy if you shave in the shower too.
I've been using one for a year now. It's lasted two mugs.

Agree - been known to do that on occasion. Great idea for the lid. Keeps the dust off your soap.
i have a similar set up been using it for a while now...i use icing lid containers. it's from a supermarket here in canada, Sobeys. they have no writting on them, no markings and are a near perfect fit for my OS mugs.
mine is not air-right, so maybe i'll have to try the betty crocker one next time i have a hinkering for some icing

Thanks for the tip, I just went out and bought a tub of frosting.
Any place that sells plumbing supplies should have 3" Plastic Knockout Test Plugs for less than a buck. The fit perfectly inside an OS mug and look like they were made for it!
Gotta love creative repurposing.
I drink a LOT of iced tea.
SWMBO broke my extra large Coca Cola style glass (it was intended to be more a vase than a drinking glass), so I brought home a Double Gulp (64oz) cup.
Of course, the 7-11 plastic lid broke as soon as it was removed.
The plastic lid from a tub of Canola spread fits perfectly.
Punched a hole for a straw through it, and I now have a cup that not only holds enough tea to last an hour or so, but I can take it out to the garage or the back yard without worry about breaking it, or the tea becoming contaminated by paint or sanding dust.

Excellent!
Holy crap, that looks perfect. And I just ate all this frosting.
I am getting a picture in my mind of walking down the grocery store bake isle and finding lots of boxes of cake mix but no frosting anywhere. 
And no hot sauce either!
