Wait, the rings of plastic bottle caps were also among the top ten? Who takes the time to pry off the ring and why would they do this to begin with? This feels like there‘s still a piece missing.

Which is weird, since I have never seen anyone dispose of a screw-on lid improperly. It‘s always just the caps to glass bottles you see lying around.

It seems like all packaged foods do this now in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

When did shrinkflation become acceptable for pasta? Even though it‘s been legal for a while to sell more individual package sizes, I would never accept a package of pasta that doesn‘t say 500g or more on it.
