Your toaster dies the second you unbox it. Pants rip on day one. The quality of everything is trash now. This is what bigheaded people call enshittification. Companies deliberately design products to break right after the warranty. This is due to the so-called “Hunt for Infinite growth.” Steady profits ain’t enough. They need MORE, so they skimp, shrink packages, and shove everything behind subscriptions. Infinite growth is a plague, and it hurts your personal finance.

A while back I was at an event with a huge coffee urn. At the end of the event I took home a mostly empty plastic container of Folger’s coffee. Instead of throwing it out when I was done, I kept it and used it for years to hold tea bags. It finally died when I left it on the stove and the open fire melted it.
About the same time I brought a plastic measuring cup. That thing exploded the first time I dropped it.
Under capitalism, garbage is eternal, and things you pay for self-destruct.
Rememberers will miss the superior tin cans they were massive and our parents used them to store all means of things.
Costco still sells coffee in huge tin cans.
That reminds me, I need to go get one. Need a new in kitchen compost bin.
True story.
I was on vacation recently. After a tour our guides gave us coffee and cookies. I took the cookie tin home with me, because I hadn’t had a proper sewing kit for a long time.
Huh?
I get the feeling that there are many, many times every day that you ask that question.
Off topic, but WTF? How did the tea taste?
Fine.
I washed the container out before I used it.
Are you still confused?
Yeah, how’d you manage to finish a whole can of Folgers?
“FOLGERS…it’s brown…Just shut up and drink”
"empty plastic container "
It was in your own message.
Don’t you read your own posts?
I think, that was another person’s message
Whatever.

Make cold brew with it.
Actually my wife used to work at a Vietnamese restaurant and they’d fill a pot with probably 1/3 of this Folgers container and do a slow drip through it in the morning to make Vietnamese coffee base for the day. Shit was delicious despite its roots.
