I'm old enough to remember when everybody mocked the idea of milk in plastic containers. Now it's almost impossible to find milk in those glass bottles anymore.

That’s what it sounds like paper container lined with plastic.
that must’ve been a sticky situation...
Penny for the 8 oz. 3 pennies for a 16 oz.
Those paper straws were useless!

Yeah but I’ll bet no one impaled themselves on them.
Yes. Grape Gravy is one of the other things suggested as things that float before the King wisely suggests a duck.
Has anyone tried to pick up a just-opened bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice? They now use such a thin gauge of plastic that the bottle collapses into itself when you pick it up to pour. The only solution is to hold the container with two hands, one near the spout and the second on the bottom so it will not fall out of your hand as it collapses inward. That is only one example of a problem that exists with hundreds, if not thousands, of larger plastic containers.
Here is another one. We had paper bags for groceries and lots of other retail items. Then they said paper was bad because forests were being destroyed. They hid the fact that paper is made from trees that are fast growing and make excellent paper and are grown on tree plantations, not forest trees. Then, they had us use plastic. Then, they said plastic is bad because it does not decompose. Then they passed a law in California forcing stores to charge customers 10 cents per bag. Then customers stated buying cloth bags and saving the 10 cents per bag. Then they said we needed to wash those cloth bags other wise the bacteria would harm us. Then, Covid came along, and the stores would not allow us to use our own bags. So, we had to go back to paying 10 cents per bag for plastic bags which to not decompose. All of this baloney brought to us by the geniuses in Federal, state, and local governments.
IT STILL needs a ‘thin plastic liner’.
BUT-—they have to be returned to the bottling companies & lots of water used to clean them for reuse.
Takes over 2000 degrees to melt the sand into glass. CAN NOT do that with wind or solar power.
Returning them to the bottling company requires freight & lots of water to clean them for reuse.
The trees we are NOT allowed to cut down....
Same trees that MUST have CO2 to survive.
Same trees that produce Oxygen.
SAME trees produce Oxygen.
Takes alot of water to clean those bottles for reuse.

Maybe they could take that sand down to DC, and let all those politicians blow all their hot air on it.
Every kid had a basket on their bikes just for bottles. Once you got a few it was off to the dime store for candy.
You could take the money or double that if you took it in candy. You could get a pretty big bag of candy.
Me too!
