Sorry, Paper Plate Rant.

[imported_Mike]

Im sorry, i just have to rant for a few second about paper plates. I buy a package of paper plates that advertises "500 Plates" but what the dont tell you is the purposly compress them so much that every 2 or 3 is stuck to together. So instead of 500 plates, i get only 200-250 plates. I guess its not a big deal b/c the are some what inexpensive, but i want what i paid for, and would rather not pick apart every single plate.

Peel them apart if it is that important to you.

usually a single paper plate is too thin anyways

I like the styrofoam ones. Yes, I know that the unbleached paper ones are safer for the environment, but the styrofoam ones save me from washing regular plates in the dishwasher which consumes water, heat (oil) and electricity.

Do you count sheets on a toilet paper roll as well? Or use both sides to save money? Seeing as that paper plates, even in quantities of 500, only cost a couple of bucks i could think of more productive ways of spending my time than worrying about two plates sticking together.

kind of unnecessary to say that. Im not worring about it, not even worth my time to complain to the manufacture. I just thought i would voice my bad opinion about how the advertise them. Considering it took me just as long to write my first post as it did to write yours, i wonder if you really could think of more productive ways to spend your time?

Couldn't you just think of a more productive thing to do with your time than to complain about paper plates?

Couldn't you think of a more productive way to spend your time than criticising the way others spend thiers. Oh wait....

I was on endless hold once with Microsoft tech support and I had a lot of time to kill so I counted how many paper plates there were in the pack that supposedly had 500 in. It was only 380 or so, way off. These weren't the really really cheap ones so it wasn't a stick together problem.

I actually considered counting them again to see if I was counting wrong. Fortunately for my sanity the rep finally picked up.

What makes the ATOT readers less important to such a degree than some large faceless corporation that doesnt care? We cared enough to read this and post something other than a form letter, which is more than Dixie would give you. If its not worth bitching about to the people responsible to possibly get it corrected (and probably raise the price of your paper plates), then it should not be worth bitching about at all

those huge-bulk, thin-ass plates do suck. If you take the time to actually separate them, they get all bent and are pretty useless :|
