I saw a commercial for
I saw a commerical for Dixie Rinse'n'Reuse, and at first I thought, interesting, a paper plate you can, well, rinse and reuse:
Dixie's new Rinse & ReUse disposable stoneware is the first disposable plate that looks and performs like a real plate. Not paper, not plastic, not foam, it's a unique blend of [XXX]. Soak-proof and microwavable, Rinse & ReUse can hold up to 6 pounds - far above any other disposable plate. It's even dishwasher safe!
But then it occurred to me: what the hell is the point of using paper plates that you HAVE TO WASH? Isn't the whole point to THROW THEM AWAY after you're done? Is this Dixie's attempt to get brides to register for paper plates? Yeesh. I'm also a tad nervous about that [XXX] stuff they're making them out of.
