Right, I felt like I was going crazy, because I was sure I had read this line before:
>Soon, Imperfect’s single-use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay.
but I couldn't find the linked URL elsewhere on HN! It's almost a verbatim quote from the original article:
>Soon, their single use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay.
The whole paragraphs are nearly identical:
>Within months of its arrival in the Bay Area, Imperfect Produce fliers were showing up on our car windows, their outreach coordinators were pitching at community meetings, their Facebook advertisements popped up daily in our feeds, and they were edging into community centers we had operated at for years. Their marketing blitz paid off. Soon, their single use cardboard boxes began lining the streets on recycling and garbage days in the East Bay. We lost customers, a lot of customers.
