This reminds me of the first time I saw Wall-E.

There isn’t any real dialog until later in the movie, but at one point (fairly early, I think?) it showed a newspaper.

The headline was in French.

You’d think that this would have tipped me off that maybe I downloaded the wrong version from the net. But no.

My wife and I had recently been watching a bunch of indie (and sometimes foreign) films at the local art house theatre. So it was totally plausible to me that it was an artistic choice to have the paper in French. Some comment on the future of society, or something.

And that’s what I continued to believe until much later in the movie when there was full-on dialog in French (with no subtitles) and it finally dawned on me.

Oops.

About the time they got rid of the hard plastic cashew jars and switched to the bags, they also started selling a (more expensive) glass jar of cashews.

So for me, it does cut down on the plastic, since now I just refill the glass jar with the bagged cashews, rather than needing to buy (and dispose of) the plastic jar every time.

I might feel differently if I was actually reusing the plastic jars for something but I really wasn’t (not after the first few, anyway).

My toes, Sis.

This is what happens Larry, when you find a stranger in the alps.
