Now I am just annoyed not everything has a plasticless alternative packaging

And to think of how mad everyone got when everything was packaged in those 'heavy' glass bottles and jars, and manufacturers started putting everything into plastic because the glass was creating too much litter on the roads. Now here we are 30 years later and everyone is being killed by plastic.

manufacturers started putting everything into plastic because ~~the glass was creating too much litter on the roads~~ plastic was cheaper.

Fixed. It's always about profit.

It's also lighter weight and thus cheaper to ship... But they promised that you totally couldn't tell the difference in taste to food products! (Everybody could tell the difference)
