That is too simple.

You forget that it is 2021. Everything requires a complex expensive solution that makes things worse.

Living in Europe I deal with these daily. The plastic lining makes it not able to be recycled as it is neither solid paper or 100% plastic. It actually adds to landfills and incineration but it makes the Woke crowd happy. I never understood why not just use metal or glass. Or if coating paper just use wax.

May just happen. After all, how many people bought “New Coke” when it came out?

“Maybe they should just go back to glass bottles.”
Back in the mid-50’s, I remember collecting bottles for the deposit money. Wasn’t much but to a 10 y/o kid it seemed like a lot.

Grape gravy?

(I cheated and looked at the script)

I agree, I don't drink coke, I drink but very seldom Sprite or Canada Dry, and Sierra Mist. I can not tolerate 7 UP

Mountain Dew is bad for you if have Diabetes, like Type? Perhaps also with Type 1. I found that out when I got me a Mountain Dew one time. My blood sugar went sky high.

Glass coke bottles had a classic shape, and are collectibles:

If a deposit is charged, but never returned, the company would makes money. People bought them in cases, and returned the empties in the cases. It worked, and the deposit kept the liter down. There is no need for these new ideas.

Sheep bladders would work. Naw, that’d upset the vegans and PETA.

I thought we couldn’t have paper shopping bags anymore.

So retarded!!!

I maintain that “New Coke” was introduced as part of a plan.
“Classic Coke”, when reintroduced, switched from sugar to corn syrup.

Daffodils and pansies.

Broken glass bottles can be hazardous to the health of a car tire. How’s about cans? Cans instead of glass. Of course a car tire could be made of recycled cans. It just has not yet been done. Maybe a monorail. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Aluminum is 100% recyclable

That is one of the big mistake Americans made. Also included are that forests are overgrown with brush. I was born and raised in Germany and I miss the forests in Germany. Sometimes my class went to a forest in the area.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It’s from the scene where they’re deciding if a woman is a witch.

[Kaslin]

Wood, I think.

I remember when they used to wash, sterilize, and reuse glass bottles. Why did they stop doing that?

New paper straws are like kicking felt.

And they all laugh at us old timers.

Us old timers laugh at how FRIGGAN DAM STUPID these youngsters are.
