Lays Stax come in an equivalent all-plastic tube and it's insane how much plastic that is compared to a bag of regular chips. The other one that bothers me is the larger Crystal Light packets which come in a very sturdy plastic container that's at least five times bigger than it needs to be. Even the generic knock-offs at ALDI come in a similar plastic container. Why not cardboard?
Here, a good bit of our trash is burned and used to generate electricity before the ash is buried, so I feel a bit less guilty about single-use plastics but it's still not good. I'm sure plenty of our recycling stream ends up there too, either due to contamination or lack of buyers for it.
