Watch What Happens to Your Chick-Fil-A Styrofoam Cup



You drink. You toss. You leave. But have you ever wondered what really happens to your Chick-fil-A cup after you leave the restaurant?

Such BS! Ok, first off, I've never seen a foam cup only trash bin in any Chick-fil-a I've ever been in. Then even if there is how many people are going to take the take to put their cup in there vs. just throwing all their trash in the trash bin. And the majority of their business is take-away where the cup is being thrown away any way.

You can tell this is basically a self-serving promotional video for their consumer affairs department to point to anyone complains about them using styrofoam cups. Ok, next notice the cups are delivered to the plant in rented van, very small scale operation, no way it's economically feasible. Then look at the pile of cups on the warehouse floor, that's it??? Keep in mind the cup is mostly void space with a thin wall. Then look how many men have to sort and clean the cups, no way that's economically feasible.

Then how much energy is needed to process that foam? Then if you look at the control panel of the machine making the plastic part of the bench, only 20% is "chick-fil-a foam". The bulk is most likely new materials, or materials pre-consumer waste.

It would have save a lot of money, energy and time to just make a bench out of new materials, particularly if you used wood, which is a renewable resource!

^you clearly aren't educated to know this stuff. It's not angry. It's called frustration since its literally a waste and a promotion for the company itself. Get educated.
