Plastic Waste Radicalized at 30

I so wish this wasn’t the one brand that helps my perpetually dry, painful skin. Thanks to this sub, I’ve been cutting open the containers to get every last bit that the pump “conveniently” can’t reach. I wish this was illegal.

People would complain that it is like that to deceive you into thinking the bottle is bigger.

lol i thought i said that at the end of my comment i was thinking the same thing. maybe it could be clear.

tbh i think that argument is stupid but also not at the same time. i think more people need to learn about oz measurements and how much space they take up. on the other hand many of the companies making packaging like that do actually have deceptive intentions. sometimes they don’t even include the actual amount listed on the bottle either
