The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They aren't actually plastic though... They're made of starch, as a biodegradable alternative to plastic.

Essentially, they're Cheetos

I would bet real money that these toothpicks biodegrade faster than Cheetos.

I would bet real money that these toothpicks have more nutritional value than Cheetos.

Cheetos are mostly air, theres a lot more surface area for microbes. Thoothpicks need to be dense to be strong enough to function. I wouldn't put my money on that.
