It’s the shipping cost...
Can’t get enough fiber these days,, a little fiber with your drink never hurt.
Wait a minute. The fizz from a serving of Coca-Cola is - gasp! - escaping carbon dioxide! So just opening a Coca-Cola is destroying the planet.
If Coca-Cola really wanted to save Mother Earth, they’d quit their virtue-signaling and shut down all their factories. And they could plant daffodils in the lots where their workers once parked their cars.
(Hmm...that’s a pretty good analysis on my part. Maybe I should start a consulting agency.)
Unless if you maintained a supply of empty BEER bottles in your car. What would the LEFT wing of police do?
Tenderly, very very tenderly
Coat it with glass.
I thought recycling was supposed to remedy this. Where do the unclaimed deposits go? Does that have something to do with the law?
Tax
It has a clear plastic liner.
Very small rocks?...
Remember the disasterous “new Coke” innovation.The company took a hit and had to backtrack. Now a “paper bottle” innovation. Its true that companies even with successful products need to constantly innovate. However when the innovation or change is Wok inspired, look for a bad product and some bad losses.
I have no idea, I buy Milk in plastic bottles.
Right now, the most plastic sea pollution comes from the masks! They should be banned!
People are the major Earth destroyer anyway. If few die, that would help the Earth!
Save the Earth, ban the masks!
Anyway, paper does not decay in landfill too well and in its way, it generates a lot of methane.
I do remember real straws.
We recycle plastic bottles. No need for paper ones. When we recycle we dump them in our dug out little dump and then burn the dump off a couple of times per year. We recycle/release those surviving carbon atoms back to the atmosphere where they can be reused.....
wonder what happens if it’s shaken in transit...
Apparently, cutting down the trees that breath in CO2 will save the planet... Brilliant idea.
A local quick service burger place did a remodel and went woke and bought paper straws. That lasted about 2 weeks before they switched back to plastic.
Unless you drank you entire fountain beverage in basically 3-4 minutes with no breaks to eat the straw went limp and began to collapse. Who would have guessed paper and liquids don’t mix?
I remember getting Root Beer from A&W in a milk carton thing , there was a staple closing it and it was almost flat when I got home
The weight of the glass bottle means more fuel is needed to deliver the product.
Why not an aluminum can is the. Etter question.
Good point. Wax paper packages may work for milk or juice, but I don;t see how it can hold up to carbonation and the major difference, lots of opening and closing by the user.
