- goda90 5y agoI hope you're not drinking out of sewer pipes.
- HellsMaddy 5y agoDrinking tea steeped from those fancy pyramidal teabags is a great way.
- rkangel 5y agoI assume you mean the Teapigs style things? Do they leech microplastics into tea?

This is derived from corn starch and used in temporary medical implants (it degrades to lactic acid) so hopefully it's safe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21072973 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21072973
