Why Dont People Always Use Plastic Dishes?

[SlowwHand]

Paper plates are fine.
Do you realize what the half-life is for plastic?
You're children's children's children will still be dealing with plastic refuse from now.

Bah, who needs dishes. I always eat my french fries and pizza's out of the karton they came in.

Not to mention the fact that you can wash plastic.

[Japher]

Or even recycle plastic

[SlowwHand]

Yeah. Doc. People buy plastic so they can wash them.
That's the primary reason.

Plastic or not is unimportant. I'm talking about the concept of using one-time dishes vs "permanent" ones.

It's either a highly unentertaining troll, or a very sad testimony to modern society.

Why stop at plastic plates? That blank surface is just begging for something to be printed on it. Why not combine disposable plates with TV guides?

Paper & plastic plates

You may have hit the Jackpot there, but I'll go even a bit further...

How about printing advertisement on plates.. that way people will see McDonalds every single frikking day until they get freaked out and go buy a burger at el macdo!

oh boy $$$ guaranteed!

[Al B. Sure!]

umm... we re-use styrofoam dishes... wash them off and use them for the next meal

Then you should consider banana leaves, or food wrapped in bread.

If ur gonna wash disposables, why not just use regular dishes and wash them?

for those people who think washing disposables saves u money.. I got an idea! dont buy disposables! think of how much money you can save by using the dishes at home!
