@jargoggles @mazigazi @selzero This is not advertising, this is a fraudulent product description.
@tessarakt @jargoggles @mazigazi @selzero so, advertising

@selzero Wait, is this a thing yet?

@selzero This isn't even a new product, seems it's at least 5 years old. Does is use 50% less plastic ? Oh yes it does. But they haven't listened to the public's sentiment that the labelling is misleading.

@stefan Here's a slightly better template for it. I'm not the greatest at image editing, but the clone and heal tools in GIMP are very nice

@ilikecats Thank you, well done!
I already put more effort into this than I probably should have. And also, I do like how imperfections make it more clear when an image was not made by AI!

@selzero @TheBreadmonkey I *did* just get a new container of yogurt that was in a similar container— but without the “I am made of paper” silliness.
It was really nice— the paper outside comes off easily and can be recycled and then the plastic inside is much thinner and can also be recycled.

@selzero what's insane is we DID have paper containers years ago. Milk Cartons used to come with wax lining. They switched to plastics in the early 80s because it was more economic. So... paper "bottles" are a thing, it's just that we as a society have become too stupid to remember how we did it.

So when do we start just blowing things up and shooting shit down like Robocop Detroit.
Because we are already at the point where our corps are at Robocop levels of scummy.

@selzero a paper bottle would plainly not work. at most it can be reinforcement.

@selzero surely describing that as a paper bottle when it is actually plastic is straight up fraud?

@GabeMoralesVR @selzero Milk and some juices still come in paper containers here (Slovenia), though I think the inside is lined with plastic.

@jernej__s @selzero Yeah thats what I mean. They still sell cardboard cartons here too (my almond milk right now is in one) but they all use plastic liners. everything uses plastic. Even aluminum cans, they have plastic liners now too:

@GabeMoralesVR @jernej__s @selzero There may be some aluminum cans with plastic, but most are still metal. I tend to crush all mine down and believe me, those are metal bits trying to cut me on all the cans I use...
I'm pretty sure any metal cans using plastic are actually the odd ones out rather than the norm.
Not that metal cans are a whole lot better... Aluminum doesn't degrade into the environment very fast either (and isn't so great when it does I'm sure.)

@nazokiyoubinbou @jernej__s @selzero No, not some, all. They still have metal so yes, you'll have metal bits trying to cut you. But one side of them is coated with a thin, almost imperceptible layer of plastic. perhaps my image didn't show well enough how thin this plastic is. You can't and won't notice it unless you chemically peel the aluminum off, there's no way to separate it and see it without doing so. This has been the canning process world-wide for the last 30 years.

"Nearly all aluminum and tin cans, such as soda cans, beer cans, and canned foods have plastic-based liners to increase shelf life and prevent corrosion."

@nazokiyoubinbou @jernej__s @selzero Don't believe me? Test your cans yourself, this is a simple gradeschool project, as in I literally did this in the 2nd grade:
https://stevespangler.com/experiments/can-ripper/
It's cheap, simple, and easy to do. Yes, all those metal can you think are pure metal have plastic in them, unless you somehow found some extremely odd canning location that doesn't export world-wide.
