        And more resilient to weather/time/etc. for transporting in sub-optimal conditions.

        There’s also the possibility that since this is edible and exposed, putting this in a warehouse would invite a horde of rodents and insects.

        It’s a good idea, but the reason we haven’t done this before is because it creates inconvenient problems for distribution centers and the logistics of transportation and storage. Which in the short and long run, costs more money to either prevent the negative outcomes, or deal with them later.

        It is better for the environment, but I’d rather go after billionaires and huge corporations polluting the environment without repercussions first.

    All food packaging could be glass, paper, metal and cloth. It was just that until plastic was invented. We could go back to that and the world and people would be a bit healthier for it. We won’t, though, not until we’re forced to by something catastrophic.

    Let’s be real here. This is Florida man we’re talking about, these things are not going to, and were never intended to, be fed to anyone or anything other than Florida man himself.

    Just checked, these were invented in 2016 and didn’t take off.

    I haven’t seen plastic rings in years, are they banned or are some companies just not using them?
