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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

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

Kcups are less wasteful than a coffee in a disposable cup from a gas station or drive thru every day.

Those are separate problems. Kcups are wasteful vessels for producing coffee. The disposable cups are wasteful vessels for storing the coffee. it's twice as wasteful to use kcups with disposable cups.

You also waste time and gas (if you drive) buying coffee outside your home.
