    Don’t worry about that. I am sure the “paper” ones are lined with plastic on the inside as well so you can be sure you will still receive your daily nutritious dose of microplastics.

        Not mine, we have a sandy well, and copper pipes (none of the pex that’s going to kill the value of future homes).

        We’ll just have our dissolved radon and arsenic in our water, thank you very much.

          Aquifers aren’t immune to plastic accumulation. You may indeed be fortunate and so far have purer water, but if you haven’t tested for it, don’t assume because it comes from deep underground it can’t be affected.

    Even after I knew it was unsafe, the alternative was to microwave a glass measuring cup, burn myself on the handle, drop it, get a face full of hot water and glass, slip, and die slowly bleeding out through my severed jugular, clenching a full cup of dry noodles. I chose the plastic.

      They literally make ceramic noodle cups that are exactly like the Styrofoam ones with a handle.

      If you are microwaving a glass measuring cup long enough the handle will burn you then you are doing it wrong…

      This is so bizarre of a scenario.

      I thought you were putting your noodles into your measuring cup of water because you don’t own any bowls. Or a stovetop or a pot. Why are the noodles dry in the end?

      I also like how you describe it as “the alternative”, as if obviously, this is what a normal human being would do.

      …and I just noticed the noodles are still in the cup they came in.

      My only deduction is that your kitchen consists solely of cupboards, measuring cups, and a microwave. Likely no utensils, as they could cause similar catastrophes.
