Hasn't Twitter lost ~30 million active users, about 10%, since Musk bought it? Plus there's probably going to be a couple million more gone from the Brazil ban.

While I mostly agreed another good application would be survival/crafting games with limited inventory. Or even games like Skyrim where you can put almost every object into your inventory.

But yeah it's overused.

Even as late as the 2016 RNC debates he was still speaking clearly, responding to his opponents, and occasionally making a coherent point.

But only a small fraction of the plastic gets recycled.

If 9/10ths of the plastic ends up in a landfill or the Pacific garbage patch, having 1/10th of that plastic recycled into another bottle (which then will eventually have 9/10ths tossed in a landfill anyways) isn't doing much. It's better than not recycling at all, but it's green washing to say that it's "eco friendly", which Capri-Sun allegedly did at this trade show.

Those bottles in the image look like plastic. I can't find anything indicating they are using glass or stainless steel.

It also includes flavoring (of which the orange juice is one). They come in more flavors than just orange.

I invited myself because it's an interesting article, nothing to do with nostalgia.

"Sometimes" feels a bit generous. From a quick search I can find estimates that 5-9% of all plastic is recycled. It might be higher or lower depending on the specific kinds of plastic these bottles use, but most of it is probably ending up in a landfill anyways.

You think the bottles are going to be any better? They're going to end up in the ocean with all of the other plastic bottles from other drinks.

I see a ton of comments here hating on nostalgic people, with no actual nostalgic people in sight yet.

Personally I don't care if a pouched drink exists or not, but if they are no longer producing pouched drinks they should probably retire the brand.

Do you remember what a CapriSun tastes like? It's somewhere between an extremely-artificially flavored "juice" concentrate and a "fruit flavored" drink like Kool-Aid. The whole appeal was the packaging.

You cannot own love. You cannot own wonder. You cannot own joy. You cannot own the beauty of the universe.

Desire is suffering. Why would you want to own a train? To seek to prevent others from admiring it? Nay, I posture, better let them run wild, for all to enjoy. To live free and reproduce in their natural habitats. To live along side is, not contained within a tiny rail network in your backyard or basement.

That's assuming she gets them as kittens.

Old cats are often considered less desirable. Parents want to get their kid a cute little kitten, not a 13 year old cat that's going to trigger a conversation about mortality with their 5 year old human child soon.

Kittens are also a pain in the ass. Bundles of energy with no manners.

So my first thought is that she either fosters older cats or just adopts them to give them a good golden year or two on the way out.

Or if she rescues strays there's a greater risk of having health problems already.

Or maybe she is evil as the comments suggest. I have no clue lol.
