    How was this not already banned? It’s like hearing that they just banned punching bus drivers. Congrats and all, but how was that not already a law?

      Honestly I thought it was here. It definitely already was in Seattle. I have not seen styrofoam for drinks outside of the South for over a decade.

        I recently moved out of Seattle up north a ways and it was weird to see styrofoam again. Feels dirty lol. Glad this got passed.

        Does Sonic serve drinks in plastic cups now? It has been a while since I’ve been to any of them in WA.

        I can walk 7 streets away from my house and styrofoam cup drinks from any of 9 different fast food places all condensed onto one street here in Cleveland.

        Hell, in the summer I can go to CVS or Walgreens and buy a cooler you bring to the beach with beer and vodka inside. The whole cooler is made of styrofoam.

        Hell, about a decade ago KFC even made a sandwich that was just made of styrofoam. Called it the double down.

        …oh, my appologies. Apperently the double down was made of chicken…it only TASTED like styrofoam!

          I think I have seen crappy styrofoam coolers a couple years ago for 4th of July. Those at least are meant to have containers inside of them. Drinks though, especially acidic ones, are nuts to put in styrofoam. That shit breaks down pretty easily which means it is going straight into your drink.

          I’ve had the Double Down because it was an absurd idea. Mine tasted like an entire shaker of salt.
