New And Reformed Floridaman, or Old Floridaman? Because honestly I can parse that as a good deed or a bad one depending on how you want to frame it

Floridaman is an agent of chaos whose intentions cannot be understood by mortals.

Money. Plastic is probably still cheaper.

All food packaging could be glass, paper, metal and cloth. It was just that until plastic was invented. We could go back to that and the world and people would be a bit healthier for it. We won't, though, not until we're forced to by something catastrophic.

There's also the possibility that since this is edible and exposed, putting this in a warehouse would invite a horde of rodents and insects.
It's a good idea, but the reason we haven't done this before is because it creates inconvenient problems for distribution centers and the logistics of transportation and storage. Which in the short and long run, costs more money to either prevent the negative outcomes, or deal with them later.
It is better for the environment, but I'd rather go after billionaires and huge corporations polluting the environment without repercussions first.

Let's be real here. This is Florida man we're talking about, these things are not going to, and were never intended to, be fed to anyone or anything other than Florida man himself.

Just checked, these were invented in 2016 and didn’t take off.
I haven’t seen plastic rings in years, are they banned or are some companies just not using them?

I’m in the UK btw. -

I want this so badly. Ban single use plastics outside of medical

This has been around since 2016, though only available for sale since 2018. It uses waste byproducts of the brewing process to create a biodegradable/compostable cardboard-like substance. It can be consumed by some animals like manatees/turtles/fish but it’s not really intended to be fed to them, just more that it’s safe if it ends up in the environment.

I’m in the UK btw.I think the old plastic rings have been banned in some states. For cans I’ve mostly seen beer cans now coming in a thicker but more widely recyclable ring. Sometimes they come in paperboard boxes like the larger packs do and suspect that’s where the industry is moving. I’ve still seen something like the old rings come with soda in plastic bottles. Really not sure why they haven’t changed.

Is plastic in our brains not catastrophic enough?

The plastic in our brains made us think that indeed, it isn't, or that there isn't any plastic in our brains.

It's not like there isn't a middleground. I didn't see those awful sixpack rings in years, in Germany where I live those sixpacks are packed in cardboard (goes around the sixpack once for stability). Works perfectly fine, and given it's just paper with a little bit of printer colours (which, technically, could also be done environmentally friendly) there are little to no reasons not to do it this way except for greed.
…therefore it isn't surprising plastic sixpack rings are specifically common in the US, lol. -

The most important thing about it is it's perfectly biodegradable in nature. You can throw them on your compost.

Exactly. This is why no food products are stored in warehouses, except in metal containers that rats can't access.
