Are there still folks out there shocked that there was ever such a thing as styrofoam burger boxes? The demise of those was much celebrated, as I recall.
I was rather saddened to learn that despite being prominently emblazoned with the “recyclable” symbol, #6 polystyrene lids are not actually recyclable in my area.

I like the bubble tea places, they use a sheet of plastic that is thermally set onto the cup instead of a discreet lid. seems like less waste and the lid and cup end up being one piece.
Sure, won’t work for hot coffee, but I like the idea that there are different ways to deal with the basic problem of serving up drinks.

God, I hate those things. All of them.
