I got a big pack of milka cookies, it was huge...triple the size of their regular...turns out it only came with 2 extra cookies.

It had a huge plastic tray, remind me again why i'm being told to use a paper straw once every 2 years i actually get a straw when manufacturers keep pulling shit like that.

Have you made any effort to change the laws about straws beyond complaining about it on social media?

Ah, right. How could I forget. Systemic issues are solely the fault of us as individuals for not singlehandedly solving them ourselves

Why would i change laws for the straws when they are replaced for a good cause.

The point i attempted to make is that that single straw is like half a gram of plastic saved when the manufacturer makes possibly millions of these packages that waste 30x the plastic that is saved on my straw.

We just need a good and effective way to make the manufacturer of these products change their ways. Adding costs/fines/taxes for plastic usage isn't helping because they just pass those on to us and sneak in a little extra profit.
