WalMart is going the way of the environmentally friendly. They're no longer packaging their half & half and heavy whipping cream in plastic bottles. They've gone back to the 70's, it seems. I remember these pseudo-cardboard cartons from my youth. I hate them. I hate that they don't have a cap that'll just pop/screw off. I hate that I have to open them the old fashioned way (I always seem to rip the cardboardy stuff). I hate that these old school cartons never tightly close again.
Argh.
I hate to have to pay more for my fatty milk products, but I'm gonna have to see if Safeway still carries cream in a plastic bottle. I don't care if the plastic bottle is non-biodegradable and I am the sole contributor to a land-fill full of plastic cream bottles, I WANT MY CREAM IN A RE-CLOSABLE BOTTLE, dangit!
End of rant. (And aren't you glad?)
I think I'll go and pick up a 32 oz Coke at Circle K now. (Did I tell you that they went back to styrofoam? I'm their biggest fan right now. I heart styrofoam cups, because they keep my drink colder longer.)
And now that I've made that additional statement about my love of styrofoam, I think I'm really done. Thank you for listening.
End of rant. (Officially and truly, this time.)

Uh...could you just BUY a plastic resealable container and transfer your creamer? LOL! :)
Amen and amen.
Is it still a rant if everyone agrees with you? I would say that you are speaking for all of this.
There's few things worse than buying 1/2 and 1/2 in cardboard, storing it in the fridge only to have it end up tasting like everything else that's in there!
Styrofoam is my friend, too. It saves me from cocoa burns.
We all know the second coming is on it's way, whether we "save the earth" or not. I want it all my way.
Non-recyclers unite!
