I used to get pissed off too. Then I learned to check my purchase. Same goes for tiling floors, painting walls, never leave for a one second or it all might go terribly wrong. Spoon in thai is "John" with a longer oo. BTW, why is this in entertainment section, I would classify as general knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, that's what you claim to be doing. That's ok they can still vote. In lots of places you don't need an addy to vote.

And, and when you're finished no need to walk into kitchen with said dirty metal spoon. You simply toss it in the trash. I don't believe nay sayers are yogurt lovers or yogurt enthusiasts. But thanks to an unnamed posh hotel I'm in procession of some fine quality hoity toity small spoons which may work in a pinch. I used chopsticks last night. Works good.

Do they have a plethora of used plastic yoghurt spoons to feast your eyes on? Or are the ladies you engage with just kinky about that kind of venue?

Burger King because portions are larger. Taco Bell is one of the best because you can repiece together burritos and refill them.

Ulic Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I only by the four pack yogurts at Makro after checking that they don't have the small plastic spoons wrapped in plastic. Why just not buy a small spoon to use for yogurt? Your small contribution to cutting back on plastic waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you do get a spoon, treat it like gold by washing it and putting it away in a safe place so you can use it again next time you are not given a spoon. Or, you could just ask for a spoon when you buy the yoghurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would, BUT the sheer quantity of useless plastic is what's worrying. Some places now charge for so-called "single-use plastic" and the recorded amounts of discarded plastics have dropped. Plastic is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century but in the 21st century, we're in severe danger of it killing the planet. Watch Sir David Attenborough's "Blue Planet 2" Like Technology, plastic should serve us not swamp and drown us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - but we've reached a stage where the boon is close to becoming an enemy and humankind needs to take control of its invention.

peterb17 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Just picked up on this thread - has ThaiVisa really descended to such a low state that members are actually complaining about the lack of a plastic spoon ( that can be around for hundreds of years polluting the seas and beaches ) Sadly I see a huge increase in these nonsensical posts - my cynical view is this all to increase traffic / clicks - therefore to increase advertising revenue- I am alleging nothing - just a point of view .

Mate, I'm on the second floor of a condo, and you're on the nineteenth when it comes to heights of said parameter. I'm assuming the Taco Bell assignations are with Mexican ladies.
