The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

    This one’s done to death, but kCups.

    Also, plastic water bottles.

    A more novel pick would be those plastic ez floss picks.

      Other than just flossing with string, is there a good reusable floss holder?

      Some people may have motor limitations that make flossing difficult. Or just find it gross

      I also don’t get kcups in general. In what situation are the soft and paper-based Senseo pads not superior? He holders are easier to clean, they store better since they’re squishy and they come in smaller packs anyways. Plus they’re cheaper.

      Why would someone go for those cups instead? 😒

        The coffee from nespresso cups is definitely better than Senseo. Not sure about k cups as I don’t have experience with them.

        Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

      Those little plastic floss things are my weakness seriously. Nothing is better to floss with, objectively. I cannot use traditional floss to save my life. It’s the only wasteful thing I use maybe besides straws
