If you hear this “idiotic” take so often, then you should have had something more logical or thoughtful to say instead of not knowing where to begin. For starters, your last clause “rather than to pay 10 cents more for something less wasteful” reeks of unintelligence. Think about it. You were replying to a consumer. You, yourself, admit that you hear this “idiotic” take often. That means that you’ve heard many consumers say this a lot. So how can you say “gasp consumers don’t want that” when you literally admitted that you’ve heard many consumers say the opposite. OP could also say that they’ve heard your “idiotic” take often. You don’t think “maybe consumers want it that way” is a cliche too? LMAO. (Sorry for being mean. I’m limiting myself to replying to one dumb person day. I was at 10 before.)
