I once thought about a plastic spoon. You need to dig up stuff from the ground use losts of chemistry knowledge to make it into plastic, have machines to bring it into this great form that is very thind and delicate hence stable. Then you need someone to bag lots of them up and put into boxes and ship halfway around the world to bring them into a shop so one can buy them.

And because this spoon costs next to nothing all this is considered less valuable then using a reusable spoon and wash it after usage.

If you think about it, this feels just crazy.
