I got a milkshake a while back, in a plastic container, with a plastic lid, for some reason it also came with a plastic spoon, and a paper straw, since they are cutting down on plastics…
>receive hot cakes in plastic container, with six individually plastic wrapped teaspoons of butter and a plastic tub of high fructose corn syrup and a large plastic cup of orange juice
>throw away plastic straw
>pull out reusable metal straw
>I’m saving the environment one breakfast at a time
Ha ha in France they just stopped giving you straws. The paper cup for the drinks just said on it something like "To drink, remove lid and lift cup. You’re not an infant " lol
Now they have those reusable cups and fry holders, which are suspiciously smaller than the paper ones
Only thing I noticed that was single use plastic was the little tub of sauce

Based as fuck.
That little tub of sauce could be made of waxy paper entirely, albeit probably at the cost of a lower shelf life.
Don’t forget the gallon of gas you burned in the drive thru 👍
Here, the paper straws were individually packed in plastic foil.
WHAT?!???!?
It’s probably a lie, people do that a lot
i’ve seen that happen from time to time on prepackaged coffee drinks and juice boxes and the like.
Yes but that was bio-degradable plastic. It will only last 10,000 years in a landfill instead of eternity.
It’s why the EU voted in regulations today against single use packaging despite howls of protest from the fast food industry.
really? cool!
