Does anybody remember when a Big Mac and fries came in these awesome Styrofoam containers that kept them hot for a long time? McDonalds had to give them up because the Left when ballistic and wouldn’t shut up as they Left said those containers were the energy equivalent of several pounds of coal. (This was back when coal was still cool. My, how things have changed.) The point is that a major corporation had to give up something that made the product last longer and taste better simply because the Left created such a stink about the energy it supposedly used to produce those containers. (I think the numbers were total bunkum, but McDonalds couldn’t take the undying, continuous screaming about the energy they supposedly used. So, they switched to paper so you could no longer pick up dinner and drive it home to the family.)
Big Macs first appeared in silvered paper. They put a stiff paper ring around the sandwich to hold it all together. The ring went away when they switched to styrofoam.
