FYI that's not food safe plastic most of the time

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 year ago (1 children)

also as far as we can tell most food safe plastic isn't even safe 🫠

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah turns out that was just a marketing gimmick.

Oops! 😅

Do you mean the plastic in the food or the food in the plastic ?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Serious question.

Following the assumption that it's not food safe plastic, what is the actual risk that we're talking about here? I get that there's many variables (length of time/temp of contact, porousness and moisture content of food, etc) but let's say that the variety of foods were stored in a cooler for 4 hours prior to consumption. To do this 3x a year, what are the risks? Obviously this set up left in the car during the summer for 8hrs before eating would be a REALLY bad idea, but wondering where it starts crossing the line from insignificant risk to "you should really think twice."

I remember years ago Mythbusters tested the "5 second rule" and contamination really had much more to do with what was making contact vs how long.

Considering the amount of plastic beverage bottles, food packaging, styrofoam, etc that you’ve eaten from in the past X years (think of changing regulations like BPA before 2008-09) , this isn’t going to harm you if you do it occasionally.

I am not a doctor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

also even now, you maybe do not have BPA anymore but BPS instead, which seems to have similar properties but it's not as famous

Is it something I should be concerned about?

MFer thinks they invented bento.

There is not much worse than warm slimy slices of cheese. This needs cooling packs or an ice layer under the snacks.

This is the most ingenious thing I've seen in a long time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My GF had seen it on Pinterest or somewhere. Works great for our needs. And of course... big hit with the crowds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, this is perfect brewery equipment. I think I might need to get something like this.

Cool! Let us know how the stomach cancer treats ya!

This is definitely not food safe poly-ethylene.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't do it but let's be honest, how badly could it be if is used like super sporadical like I expect in this case.

Plus without even been heated, well maybe in this case not totally true use the sun....

It's great to bring along to our many brewery visits. And it was a huge hit out at Tanglewood music venue where people have elaborate picnics.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry but this looks gross

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also fun fact the plastic in the majority of tackle boxes is toxic and not food safe.

Is poisoning fish part of the fishing experience?

Are those gummy bears in the bottom right corner?

The farts I get from those are indescribable. Do others experience that? Is that the reference?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are well known for giving people all sorts of digestive issues from cramps to diarrhea.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

try out some sugar-free ice cream, and then terrorize your familleee

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nah I was going to the weed reference. But I didn't know there were sugar free, I don't eat them like ever so makes sense I didn't know, and I didn't know either the side effects.

"Charcuterie is dead" posts a picture with a box containing at least 3 sorts of charcuterie

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Charcuterie is just Lunchables for adults.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lunchables is just shitty charcuterie.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lunchables are just plain shitty.

This picture is a shitty charcuterie

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used to love a turkey and cheddar lunchable plus a red bull in college, good snack

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lunchables are just charcuterie from the US.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

In my book that can either be enough food for 1 day or 1 hour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Oooo a snacklebox

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Come down to earth, Picard. Please stop telling everyone to eat plastic and shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry, there must be some uh... space-interference. I can't hear you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay all I can think about is how much of a pain in the ass this would be to clean.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You just dip it in the ocean when you're done and call it a day.

I love this for us.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is like when people thing that theres a difference between a dairy milk bar and dairy milk buttons.

It's the same chocolate, but the shape is different.
