A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

taco sauce packets at taco john's are a lot worse in the 'waste per packet per quantity of sauce' category.

Thanks for noting the per quantity nuance! :)

Water bottles suck, but you do get 500g of water for 10g of plastic. For ketchup it's more like 5g ketchup to 2g plastic. Never seen a taco John's packet and hope I never do

I would add straws themselves. People always complain about the paper straws that are ass, because they are. But straws themselves are. I don't think i ever drank anything and thought: you know what would make this drink better? A straw.
