They went to styrofoam for a while, but that’s hated now, so they’ve gone to the clear plastic. I hate it, it sweats in the cup holder, a lot. And the ice melts, and the drink warms up much faster.
They have biodegradable styro, but people don’t understand the difference, so they get just as worked up over the good styrofoam as the bad. So they just pivot to the worst possible option, plastic.

Yes, corporations guilt tripped Americans to use shittier products while they spill their garbage in the water.
