The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

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

    Those little plastic floss things are my weakness seriously. Nothing is better to floss with, objectively. I cannot use traditional floss to save my life. It’s the only wasteful thing I use maybe besides straws

      There was this very popular kickstarter for this reusable floss pick (you just tie on new floss). I’m not sure how well they fulfilled kickstarter orders but i ordered one on their website, pre launch, and basically got a bounced email when I tried to contact them about it. Pretty unfortunate.

        Tying floss onto one of those little picks sounds like an incredibly frustrating experience.

          Eh I can see it being fine. Have a thin slot the floss clicks into on each side, click in the first, wrap around post, bridge the gap, wrap around the second post, click into thin slot. If it had some wag to cut the string after that’d be fine but the floss container usually has it already.

        I got one off etsy, it’s just 3d printed. Works fairly well, but the floss can get a little loose towards the end. But it’s easy enough to fix.

        Not quite as convenient as the individual picks, but FAR less waste. A trade off I’m happy to make.
