Plastic bottles in general should be illegal. It’s cans, glass bottles, or GTFO when it comes to beverages for me.

Glass has the best taste too, because it is almost totally chemically inert, you don’t get the odd flavor changes that you do with aluminum cans or plastic bottles.

FYI cans have a plastic liner to prevent acidic foods from dissolving the aluminium, so there’s still some plastic in it (much less then fully plastic bottles tho)

It’s more that it’s heavier, so you have to transport a lot more weight for the same amount of product.

Secondary to that, glass can’t be shaped as compactly as an aluminum can or plastic bottle, so it takes up more room for the same amount of product.

There’s no perfect solution, which is why we have a lot of options.

Ah, but without plastic bottles how would we generate additional profits from the excess waste of oil production?

I have always, for the entirety of their existence, hated those dumb pouches. Good riddance as far as I’m concerned.

They made a really loud noise in the lunchroom if you inflated the pouch all the way, folded over the straw to seal it, then stomped on it really hard with your shoe. This was before mentally deranged people started shooting up schools though, so maybe don’t try it.

Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented…

How old are you?

I’m not going to look it up to verify, but I’m pretty sure Capri Sun existed before Columbine.

They have these revolutionary containers made from paper that is layered in order to make it hard and card like. Almost stiff as a board. And is capable of holding liquids and also breaks down very easily. 😒

What are they lined with to prevent them from getting soggy from contact with the liquid?

Seconded. And trying to stab the flexing surface with that weak-ass straw.

You have to kind of service the top edge of the hole with the tip of the straw to soften it up before you guide it the rest of the way in.

Unironically, there’s a technique to it. I forgot how after I got older, and was genuinely frustrated trying to drink from one until I remembered how to do it.
