There are eggs that still come in Styrofoam?
Dude I'm a Yankee. Born and raised in RI and now living in southeast Mass.
Last year I went to Texas. Visited Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Rented a Mustang Mach-E and drove between the three cities (which are a big triangle with not much in between).
Texas has these gas station rest stops that are well known. Bucc-ees. And they are absurd. They are at least as large as a supermarket up here.
They have fountain beverages with Styrofoam cups.
I was so taken aback by this. I cannot believe that there are still companies choosing Styrofoam for fountain drinks.
No wonder they freak out about paper straws. Like, those legitimately suck, don't get me wrong...but paper and even plastic cups are only functionally worse than Styrofoam when it comes to insulation (and by proxy, condensation)...they are objectively better in every other way I can think of.
How the fuck are they going to adopt paper straws if they are still using Styrofoam cups?
Huh, I haven’t seen that in a few years
Yes some brands sell them like that in Oklahoma at least
