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?

This one’s done to death, but kCups.

Also, plastic water bottles.

A more novel pick would be those plastic ez floss picks.

I also don't get kcups in general. In what situation are the soft and paper-based Senseo pads not superior? He holders are easier to clean, they store better since they're squishy and they come in smaller packs anyways. Plus they're cheaper.

Why would someone go for those cups instead? 😒

The coffee from nespresso cups is definitely better than Senseo. Not sure about k cups as I don’t have experience with them.
