Glad to see Micheal Pickleseller made a name for himself. An idea that was truly ahead of its time finally being recognised. This will truly advance humanity.
"the corporations" didn't do it. You think they just decided to stop using plastic straws? They banned them in several states, the companies had to come up with an alternative if they wanted to keep selling drinks with straws like they always had. In sure a few decided they might as well make it company wide because it's easier than trying to sort out different supplies for different states, and you might as well play it for a PR gain if you are going to be stuck with a crappy situation anyway. So blank eco activists and the state governments, not the corporations.
The dumbest part of paper straws is that they are usually in a plastic wrapper. Which part of it is more likely to end up in the ground? Definitely the wrapper
The ones I've seen come in paper wrappers, just like the plastic straws used to. But I definitely prefer the sippy cup style lids over dissolving straws...
@Annas R Zulficar it's paper with a plastic layer inside the cup, so the beverage would not soak the paper. It's actually worst than a pure plastic cup because you can't recycle it.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT. I hate these paper "straws" (as they call themselves). The bare minimum requirements for a straw should include not ruining the drink you put it in.
Paper straws are just a cover up for the bigger problem... turtles that are addicted to cocaine. That's how they get the straws stuck in their noses. Big Straw doesn't want people to know that they are enabling the turtles addictions and therefore switched to paper straws that are completely useless under water in an effort to force the turtles to quit cold turkey instead of sending them to rehab because that would cost them more and affect their profit margin.
I received a paper straw for the first time last week and I'm pretty sure it even ruined popsicles for me as the straws pretty much taste the same as a wooden popsicle stick you're sucking on for 45 minutes.
The problem is, they already solved the paper straw issues, since paper cups exist and worked okay. They just need to incorporate the waxy sealing to the inside and outside of the paper straw, so it's useful for twenty minutes while being used.
@@KaizerKilborn this only means that Big Straw is now in cahoots with Big Wax in an attempt to set events into motion that will leave us all open to a global assault and the fall of all organized government as the Bees take control of the planet.

Well…remember after a few unsuccessful ad campaigns he finally realized that telling people if they eat his sandwich girls will want to sleep with worked like a charm.
This feels so relatable right now, I'm cleaning some coffee off my desk because the cardboard cup they put McD's coffee in gives you about 15 minutes to drink a boiling beverage, so about a 5 minute window between scalding yourself and soaking yourself in your drink. Good stuff.

No no no. The sponsor will also provide a minimal response to climate action. You can't fight a metric tonne of oil being burned every hour with a bunch of trees that will grow over the period of 60+ years. Talking to politicians and local representatives and telling them to stop with fossil fuels is what is going to get us to be carbon neutral 😐. Planting trees is a great side project but far far from the solution.
@@8lec_R so you think you can trust politicians to make decisions to impact environment ? Also, do you have any quantitative and qualitative data that suggest petroleum is heavily impacting our environment ? Or that you doing something about it will change ?

Ryan: My name is Michael Pickleseller My brain, without missing a single microsecond: ah yes, the CEO of the the company that makes sandwiches with a pretty big pickle. Its good to get an update on him
Ryan is a genius. And he's not running out of ideas. It seems that as long as hypocritical stupidity/mindless virtue signaling exists in the world, he'll be there to mock it.
Remember when they created plastic bags because they think it'll be more environmentally friendlier than paper bags but plastic bags turned out to be worse for the environment?
A few decades ago they were clear cutting natural forests for use in paper. Nowadays almost all paper products are sourced from tree farms which are cut down and replanted after few years. Much more sustainable than before. Also we now have more data on the effects of micro plastics
It is so good to see that Michael Pickleseller's restaurant business turned out so successful after having such a rough start. A true underdog story for the ages.
I am a big fan of straws though. I use my to-go cups at home. In fact, I’ve been using the cup/straw combo at my house for around 4 or 5 months now. I use around 2 plastic cups/straws a year. I generally only use it for drinking water, so it’s pretty easy to keep clean.
Then there's compostable plastic straws that is a thing. But because they are more expensive than normal straws, restaurants don't give you those. They want to look good, but still be greedy as hell.
Yes I’m glad someone has said about these straws their so good. No one talks about them and I legit thought that my family were the only people to use them
I appreciate your humor. There was a viral video of a guy flipping out because he had a big plastic cup of overpriced coffee with a disintegrating paper straw. He angrily and rightly pointed out how stupid it was that he was handed a big plastic cup with a useless paper straw. Why not paper cup with plastic straw, less plastic? Yeah, I think you guys are onto something.
The diversion into "How are you asking me questions?" is so on-brand for this channel, deconstructing that which none of us ever question in our daily lives. Bonus joke there: the last thing kitchen guy said wasn't a question!
Thank you Ryan - another great one (I've decided) - we're now at the stage where if/when any of my family members/friends ask "I'm a bit peckish, you hungry?" and I respond with "A bit - I'd love a sandwich with a pretty big pickle in it", which has now lead to robust debates around "gherkin in a burger - yes/no?" - there appears to be a (surprising, to me) 50/50 divide around that one - I always say "Yes, super easy, barely an inconvenience". Again thank you Sir. Please keep 'em coming....
I love how the solution to all these plastic problems is basically lets find the lowest possible weight of plastic and get rid of that like plastics bags and straws. I think long term it's going to be medium term biodegradable plastics replacing plastics and all we need for that to happen is for them to be cheaper than regular plastics or at least close enough that government subsidies make it untenable to keep using non biodegradable plastics.
I see a lot more of the non-micro plastic/biodegradable plastics around lately. Suffolk County NY went full paper straws several years ago but some plastics apparently qualify. I went to a 7-11 last week and they gave me a fabric bag (really cheap feeling) instead of plastic or paper. Paper is AWFUL for bags in most cases since they rip apart so easily. Just food does well, once you add in groceries or large bottles it is all over.
@@Mccar42 I don't even use bags any more when I go to the shops. I have bags that I am supposed to take but I always forget them so I just load my car directly from the trolley with no bags and use my work rucksack to bring everything into my house.
@@Mccar42 oh yeah, the intention is nice but it's a problem when the drinks you order in McDonald's are also packed with paper bags. You know what happened..... Happened to me once.
Back in the 90’s, we were sternly told never to use disposable paper products because it would destroy the environment. They told us to use plastic instead. You ever get the feeling that it’s all bullshit?
What people miss about plastics and other petroleum based products is that they are already being recycled. When oil is pumped out of the ground they extract the gasoline. That is the main revenue stream. That is the driving force behind pumping more oil. Everything else is made from the waste of that process. Asphalt, plastic, Styrofoam, rubber cement, motor oil. What ever form it takes is that this is the alternative to just dumping crude oil back into the environment. If you really want to attack climate change it's using less gasoline. Get a smaller more fuel efficient car, drive less, and drive slower.

@Muscleman8562 Oh good, they’ve at least programmed a sense of humour into the spambot that no one gives a shit about. It certainly makes it more tolerable when watching someone leaching off another person’s fame.
Little known fact: humans can drink without even using a straw. It's pretty efficient actually. Or use a straw made of straw. Straw was the initial straw
I literally had paper straws at my brother’s wedding, and this is FACTS. You forgot to mention the satisfying way in which the the dye in the decorative coloring in the straw dissolves off the straw into your drink, so you have not only a taste of toilet paper in your drink, but also the taste of what is basically lead paint when you eat the straw
I was working food service when they made the switch to paper straws.... I have never seen angrier customers except maybe that one lady who got really mad that we ran out of gravy on thanksgiving after almost a full day of non-stop line-ups. They would bring them back (used so they were garbage anyway), throw them at us in anger and just walk away, or ask if we had plastic ones in the back (which we didn't obv. but I think that is the bargaining part of the 5 stages of depression so it was annoying but better than the angry stage). Good times

I do love how corporations solved plastic pollution with the tiniest source of plastic besides a plastic toothpick.
"the corporations" didn't do it. You think they just decided to stop using plastic straws? They banned them in several states, the companies had to come up with an alternative if they wanted to keep selling drinks with straws like they always had. In sure a few decided they might as well make it company wide because it's easier than trying to sort out different supplies for different states, and you might as well play it for a PR gain if you are going to be stuck with a crappy situation anyway.

The dumbest part of paper straws is that they are usually in a plastic wrapper. Which part of it is more likely to end up in the ground? Definitely the wrapper
And the paper straws because of how bad they are.

I'd rather the cup be paper instead of the straw. I don't have to put my mouth on the cup.
@Annas R Zulficar it's paper with a plastic layer inside the cup, so the beverage would not soak the paper. It's actually worst than a pure plastic cup because you can't recycle it.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT. I hate these paper "straws" (as they call themselves). The bare minimum requirements for a straw should include not ruining the drink you put it in.
Paper straws are just a cover up for the bigger problem... turtles that are addicted to cocaine. That's how they get the straws stuck in their noses. Big Straw doesn't want people to know that they are enabling the turtles addictions and therefore switched to paper straws that are completely useless under water in an effort to force the turtles to quit cold turkey instead of sending them to rehab because that would cost them more and affect their profit margin.
@@azombie8mybabythis is great
I received a paper straw for the first time last week and I'm pretty sure it even ruined popsicles for me as the straws pretty much taste the same as a wooden popsicle stick you're sucking on for 45 minutes.
The problem is, they already solved the paper straw issues, since paper cups exist and worked okay. They just need to incorporate the waxy sealing to the inside and outside of the paper straw, so it's useful for twenty minutes while being used.
@@KaizerKilborn this only means that Big Straw is now in cahoots with Big Wax in an attempt to set events into motion that will leave us all open to a global assault and the fall of all organized government as the Bees take control of the planet.

I am a big fan of straws though. I use my to-go cups at home. In fact, I’ve been using the cup/straw combo at my house for around 4 or 5 months now. I use around 2 plastic cups/straws a year. I generally only use it for drinking water, so it’s pretty easy to keep clean.
This is why I just carry around a silicone straw now. Reusable, doesn't disintegrate, doesn't taste metallic.
Then there's compostable plastic straws that is a thing. But because they are more expensive than normal straws, restaurants don't give you those.
They want to look good, but still be greedy as hell.

Again thank you Sir. Please keep 'em coming....
I'm so proud of Mr. Pickleseller, he started with nothing and look at him now.
I think you'll find he started with some bread and a pretty big pickle, and that's not nothing.
I love how the solution to all these plastic problems is basically lets find the lowest possible weight of plastic and get rid of that like plastics bags and straws. I think long term it's going to be medium term biodegradable plastics replacing plastics and all we need for that to happen is for them to be cheaper than regular plastics or at least close enough that government subsidies make it untenable to keep using non biodegradable plastics.
I see a lot more of the non-micro plastic/biodegradable plastics around lately. Suffolk County NY went full paper straws several years ago but some plastics apparently qualify.
I went to a 7-11 last week and they gave me a fabric bag (really cheap feeling) instead of plastic or paper. Paper is AWFUL for bags in most cases since they rip apart so easily. Just food does well, once you add in groceries or large bottles it is all over.

Paper straws were a great step in the direction of having less people take climate change seriously.
That was literally the entire point of the paper straw campaign.
deciding to call it "climate change" was the single biggest step backward though
@@rumfordc , excellent point!
Back in the 90’s, we were sternly told never to use disposable paper products because it would destroy the environment. They told us to use plastic instead. You ever get the feeling that it’s all bullshit?
What people miss about plastics and other petroleum based products is that they are already being recycled.
When oil is pumped out of the ground they extract the gasoline. That is the main revenue stream. That is the driving force behind pumping more oil.
Everything else is made from the waste of that process. Asphalt, plastic, Styrofoam, rubber cement, motor oil. What ever form it takes is that this is the alternative to just dumping crude oil back into the environment.
If you really want to attack climate change it's using less gasoline. Get a smaller more fuel efficient car, drive less, and drive slower.
