I hate the paper ones. If you don’t have a plastic top on them, the paper “lip” unrolls in your mouth with the wet heat.

There is a very simple solution. Bring your own travel drink mug, such as dunkin donuts or 7-11 provides. That is the most “green” thing to do of all.

However that won’t work because the REAL socialists have a thing about being provided free stuff by the government.

I remember in David Horowitz’s book “Radical Son”, his communist parents and their friends protested because they DIDNT want to own their homes, they wanted the government to own their homes and they live in them free.

‘I hate the paper ones.’

Ditto.
I dislike drinking out of paper, plastic, foam, whatever.
Give me ceramic, glass, china, or a thermos of stainless steel (NOT Aluminum)!
It’s what we all used before these ‘lazy’ inventions!

Think too many nice functions use foam which makes for a less than appealing presentation.
When I’m expecting foam, and the hosts are using ceramic, I’m absolutely thrilled! (Doesn’t take much, huh)?!

We have become LAZY and in a huge hurry, thus the throw-aways. If you need/want one - fine.
Also, anything but china or ceramic cups are too tipsy - bah!

Okay for you - not me!
Same for the spouse.

And lastly, we believe there are material/ingredients in common products that are not healthy.
I realize liberals are accused of beliefs like this, but that has been (along with other non-tradional beliefs) our beliefs for all our Conservative years!

Since the ‘70’s, we have been against fluoridating drinking water, for one, and we’ve finally been exonerated with the latest findings of mottled teeth because of too much fluoride.
Mottled and brownish teeth from fluoridated drinking water were visible years ago - saw them in the ‘60’s.
Leave our drinking water alone!

Oh! There’s a humorous song from an obscure Broadway musical which featured actors 70 and over. Song is ‘Coffee In A Cardboard Cup.’ Decrying coffee in a CARDBOARD cup!
Daughter taught it to a bunch of home schoolers, and along with other show tunes she taught, performed this for 3 summer nights last year in their backyard!
In full costume and makeup.
‘Backyard Broadway,’ it’s called!
