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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  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?

taco sauce packets at taco john's are a lot worse in the 'waste per packet per quantity of sauce' category.

Thanks for noting the per quantity nuance! :)

Water bottles suck, but you do get 500g of water for 10g of plastic. For ketchup it's more like 5g ketchup to 2g plastic. Never seen a taco John's packet and hope I never do

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.
