A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

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

I would add straws themselves. People always complain about the paper straws that are ass, because they are. But straws themselves are. I don't think i ever drank anything and thought: you know what would make this drink better? A straw.

Idk man iced coffee without a straw just seems weird. Really anything iced, I just don’t want ice coming up to my teeth/lips/mustache when I drink it…but coffee especially.

I use (and usually have with me) reusable straws, but I hate when I’m out and about and get an iced coffee with a sip-spout.

Also, while on the topic, as a mustachio’d man, straws also prevent the beverage from getting trapped in my facial hair, or facial hair ending up in my drink.
