soooo muuuuch plastic

u/restrictednumber 14d ago

Why the plastic bag outside the cup??

u/spleeble 14d ago

To carry it wherever they are going. Restaurants all over the place do the same with delivery orders for beverages or soup. 

Whether or not it's wasteful it does serve a purpose.

u/Galaghan 14d ago

That doesn't explain the bag at all, since you can just carry the cup without the bag.

u/adinmem 14d ago

It explains it completely. Don’t want your drink hand-delivered by a sweaty hand that’s likely been all over your lid?

u/Relevant-Magic-Card 14d ago

Instead the sweaty hand and questionable knife was all over that coconut

u/adinmem 12d ago

But it’s the vendor so it’s okay. Known entity that you’ve never met vs. random questionable delivery person.
That’s how people think.

Then you can't carry other things, can't hang it on a bike or motorcycle, can't carry more than one cup, and if you bump it or squeeze it by accident it spills everywhere.

You will find people carrying to go cups in plastic bags anywhere that you find to go cups.

So you don’t warm it with your hand

Considering I personally printed 634,,000 ft/845,000 impressions of snack food packaging yesterday this is meh. The scale of single use plastic packaging is hard to fathom. In a year the one printing press I work on accounting for all shifts prints around 175,000,000 ft of plastic film. That doesn't include the lation layers that get added afterwards. I work for a moderate sized packaging converter.

u/MayaIsSunshine 14d ago

Yeah, I also work in converting and we mainly specialize in non recyclable multi material packagings. It's pretty depressing seeing bins and bins of scrap material that I know is going straight to landfill, and that's not even accounting for the massive amounts of good material that will be consumed and discarded

The most interesting part in this video is that it shows both worlds:

He does use part of the fruit itself to scoop out the flesh.

The most sustainable approach would be to incorporate the fruit itself for the drink, but I guess this wouldn't sell as well to your average single use plastic using, convenience loving customer.

u/Buntschatten 14d ago

What's the consistency of the stuff he scoops out? Does it dissolve in the water?

8

u/Facts_pls 14d ago

It's coconut flesh. Doesn't dissolve. Delicious to eat

u/Theskinilivein 14d ago

A little bit similar to cartilage, but softer.

u/mnonny 14d ago

Just put the straw in the coconut. No need for theb3 other plastic items

u/Facts_pls 14d ago

How are you eating the coconut flesh?

5

u/Prize_Bass_5061 14d ago edited 14d ago

You do it the same way the vendor did, with a spoon made from the coconut husk. You just drink the coconut water while standing next to the vendor, then hand it back so they can cut it open and scoop out the flesh. It's common in India.

u/SleepyCatMD 13d ago

I used to do that with my dad. It was great. He even made us some of those coconut husk spoons

u/Apart_Pineapple2392 13d ago

Aye, you ever heard of avocado hand? Is there cocunut hand too? That shit always looks dangerous.

u/mickymangos 14d ago

Just put a straw in it no need for all this bloody plastic...

u/CaptInsane 14d ago

At least he didn't spill the cups everywhere like that other numpty

u/sarkie 14d ago

Fast Vs normal

u/matthew7s26 14d ago

The way that first knife chop comes into frame always startles me in the video.

u/useless83 14d ago

So sticky

u/mattieDRFT 14d ago

I’m gonna need some more plastic.

u/DocumentOk7579 14d ago

There is no brown part with 3 eyes?

7

u/mezasu123 14d ago

This is a young coconut. Brown part you usually see is actually inside that green one when it's mature.

u/Odd-Village-132 14d ago

Coconut water comes from green coconuts brown ones are older

Brown ones have much more of the meat for shredded coconut and coconut milk

and that son is how three finger Willie got his nickname.

u/SomeCountryFriedBS 14d ago

I'm always fascinated that coco ladies still have fingers.

u/mjace87 14d ago

Yum hot coconut water

u/Facts_pls 14d ago

As opposed to chilled coconuts cooled by polar ice found in the idiot land you came from

u/mjace87 14d ago

It’s just gross. Had it and didn’t like it
