And to think of how mad everyone got when everything was packaged in those 'heavy' glass bottles and jars, and manufacturers started putting everything into plastic because the glass was creating too much litter on the roads. Now here we are 30 years later and everyone is being killed by plastic.

manufacturers started putting everything into plastic because ~~the glass was creating too much litter on the roads~~ plastic was cheaper.

Fixed. It's always about profit.
