Don’t forget the gallon of gas you burned in the drive thru 👍

Ah the, “I’ll have a diet coke with this Big Mag, Cheesecake bites, large French Fries” mindset.

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.

What about people woth very limited arm use?
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s almost as if those people would know to take a straw everywhere, seeing as they’ve lived with the condition
You’re not helping progress with constantly saying “what about…?”
joel_feila@lemmy.world 10 months ago
do they though. I don’t think I have seen them carry their own. After all if every place as a straw then you dont need your own. But that is an easy fix for them.

What about the people who can’t eat or drink and need nutrients pumped into their body intravenously?

We cannot let the few hold back the many

Yeah only thing is those cups are like that because people have cup holders in their car. So calling them an infant just cuz they don’t want to sue for lap burns is a bit short sighted.

A) It’s for cold drinks
B) If you drink coffee with a straw you should be sent to an island somewhere with the people who drive tiny-penis trucks

And then you find out that the lid itself is made of plastic
