Comments on: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Plastic Thing in the Middle of the Pizza http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/05/we-dont-need-no-stinkin-plastic-thing-in-the-middle-of-the-pizza/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:40:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: joang http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/05/we-dont-need-no-stinkin-plastic-thing-in-the-middle-of-the-pizza/comment-page-1/#comment-42785 joang Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:35:52 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/?p=2254#comment-42785 My mom saves those pizza thingies.  When she bakes cakes to bring somewhere she puts one of those on top so the icing does not stick to the wrapping…

No support needed, and no sticky cheese so it’s easier on the recycler guys.

I feel no such pity. That guy now has way more money than me…lol.

I think this thing is so small that people just brush it off as pretty much non-existant. If everybody, everytime sent their little table thingy to the same place to see how many pounds of that stuff is circulating thru the world. I think more people would notice the impact that pizza has on the world…rofl

They also make fun elements to add to a child’s block/construction set.

When my parents and I used to go out and get pizza it would sometimes come with it on it (even outside the box) and I would always grab it first to pretend that fairies and such were eating with us. lol.

I worked at a pizza place when I was a teenager, and we also didn’t use them then. In fact, I think I’ve seen them only once or twice in my whole life. So funny that they’re common in California where everyone is so much more environmentally-conscious.

I’m a vegan so I order my pizza without cheese, so these things are especially wasteful.

I like the dough ball idea best, though. (but not as much as everyone’s stories about what they used to fight over regarding pizza deliveries – who knew!?)

Of course, you could just ask for no cheese on the pizza! Then there’s no reason for the thingummy, is there! But they’d probably stick it on there anyway!

Stupidity is never ending. I mean, really.
