Floridaman seeks redemption

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.Yeah ive never seen a six pack with plastic rings. Its always wrapped in a thin cardboard box here.

How long until some TikTok dipshit makes a short about eating them with hot sauce or something?

I dunno. Seems like honoring the culture.

Is plastic in our brains not catastrophic enough?
No, your brain does not matter to the wealthy.

No, It just happened we haven't done studies on it yet so it may be good for us. Like how cigarettes were good for us in the 40s

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.
They stink like over-ripe mushrooms in my experience. They also easily break and you have to reinforce them with plastic packing tape. It's a nice idea, but a regular paper box is the better option.

The plastic in our brains made us think that indeed, it isn't, or that there isn't any plastic in our brains.
I, for one, welcome the microplasic particles in my brain.

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.
Total CO2 will go up if we tried that. If we were smarter about reuse, like say, washing processing and resealing glass containers instead of crushing and remelting them (at best) we might be better. But plastics are much lighter, space efficient and durable. Which makes them less carbon intensive in many cases.
Really we need less one time use or single serving containers of any material. Which isn’t likely unless society collapses and we have to live in local communes to survive.

It still doesn't solve the more extreme/inclement weather issue if the cardboard gets wet, say when thrown into an ice chest, or accidentally dropped off a fishing boat; but it's good enough for most applications.

Just… take them out of it first? Don't really see the problems here. A little bit of rain during shipping is no problem for the material.
