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?

We have actual cheese in europe individually wrapped. It's a thing.

I worked in the grocery department of a major retailer and Kraft singles came in on unrefrigerated pallets.

I've never seen that. They always come in with the refrigerated dairy. Maybe the boxes of Velveeta loaves, but definitely not the singles.
