Shit that annoys you

Some are lined with a polyethylene coating, and I think even the modern wax is petroleum based.

Peak plastic was back in the 70’s and early 80’s when our store milk came in 1L plastic bags (that were packaged in another plastic bag containing 4L), dispensed in a tupperware holder. Thankfully we only got store-bought milk when the neighbour’s cow was being refreshed and the milk production was down.

Yet miraculously the version without the plastic lid worked well for many decades.

Want to reshake the orange juice carton? Pinch the closure.

You don't get that shmutz like you do on the paper lip when dealing with heavy cream boxes, etc.

Minor point, sure, and this is pretty low on my longgggggggg list of unnecessary plastic in the world.

May I join the wailings and lamentations for cheese loss? Fourme d'Ambert dearth is on the rise as well as the price of a decent sauternes.

Absolutely. The loss of access to great cheese is the sort of backwards move I do NOT approve of.

Life without good cheese is not really life.

Infinite wisdom on display in this thread.
Gonna thaw a reblochon tonight in memory of the missing Fontina and Fourme d'Ambert.

I can't believe you people are bemoaning the loss of great cheese when Velveeta is still readily available.

[MultiVerse]

Not to mention Velveeta doesn't even need to be refrigerated...

[skaredshtles]

Gordon Food Service, perhaps? If you have one near you...

[Brownski]

You are making me want to see if I can get ShopRite to sell me a brick of American cheese now. It shouldn’t be that difficult, considering they charge by the pound. Bringing it home that way would annoy my wife though.
