Well, yeah. You’re supposed to be stirring your own coffee. I’d slap someone else who tried to stir mine without asking first.

As someone that doesn't agree with gluten, fuck those things.

“No, hun, that’s just a piece of spaghetti in your stuffed cabbage”
“Oh, you’re right…. Why is there a singular piece of spaghetti in my stuffed cabbage?”
“Uhh, magic!”

Seems like it would work.
BTW, that "Stevia in the raw" is mostly maltodextrin and dextrose. You know, sugar. LOL They've been forced to change their label multiple times to more clearly show it.
Actual pure stevia is measured out in tiny amounts so they added a bunch of fillers so it's the same familiar packet amount. I have a diabetic family member who couldn't figure out why the stuff was making their blood sugar jump until I told them. They now use pure stevia measured with a 1/16 teaspoon. No blood sugar impact.

Bamboo grows like a fuckin' weed. But sure, let's waste food instead, just to be special.

Or just use spoons and wash them. I agree. They just want to be hipster about stuff.

I love the taste of pasta in my lattes.

Isn't the spaghetti going to deposit starch into your coffee or it is not in the mug long enough?

not gluten free.

Then use the knives directly in front of them. The rest of us that can have gluten are not obligated to rid the world of it.

I WANT to agree with you, but I feel like maybe not having your coffee have gluten added to it is a fair request. Like normally coffee doesn't have gluten, no one is saying get rid of all gluten, they are saying don't needlessly add it to things it has no business being in.
Like I'd be equally grossed out if someone wanted to stir my milkshake with spaghetti, or if someone wanted to have me drink my soda through a manicotti straw. It just doesn't belong there.

is there literally any benefit to this? whether it’s wood or pasta it’s still manmade from plants and could be seen as wasteful lol
_thankyoucomeagain_ t1_j1mncg4 wrote
I agree plus add wasting food. So pasta would technically be worse. How about just washing some cheap ass metal spoons?
_thankyoucomeagain_ t1_j1mnm59 wrote
The filthy window next to the expiring and probably mold growing pasta is a nice addition as well.

That all seems so....what's the word I'm looking for? Ah, yes. Sanitary.

One thing.
That dude that just came out of the bathroom after taking a shit didn't wash his hands, and he just grabbed one of those stirrers and in doing so touched several other of the stirrers.
But you do you.
Edit: you're also making assumptions about plastic. There are enviro-friendly approaches to this that don't use plastic and come from renewable resources.

You're reaching pretty far in this silly endeavor of trying to be right about something. You may go around completely willing to put the shit of other people in your body, but I'll make active efforts to refrain from doing so and support businesses who exercise more sanitary approaches to things.
Go ahead and get your last word response in, but I think I'm all set here. Happy holidays 😃

I don't see how food waste is a better moral option myself. Also, pasta expires and molds etc. If a company cared so much just use normal spoons and wash them. Boom. Problem solved but people wanna be hipster about stuff.

I'm positive a hungry person would fully disagree with you. That and it's gross to leave food in the open air. It would not be passing a health code. Also that window is nasty.
Also you are pretending that plastic wasn't used in both the pasta packaging and Hopefully a rubber glove.
This isn't helping a thing and can I say... just use normal spoons. It's dumb.

_thankyoucomeagain_ t1_j1mwwpp wrote
You really just want to win or have the last word and again, you are not considering the packaging for the pasta or the carbon footprint of making it, transporting it, the packaging the multiple packages are in. You aren't saying a thing or using less plastic. It's just unsanitary.
Your first claim is dumb and so is your last.
