I still cut up six-pack holders because of a commercial I saw when I was a kid

I'm sure a lot of you saw it, it was on Nickelodeon and showed animals getting caught up in them on the beach. I can't throw one away now without cutting it up first. Anyone else do the same thing?

Yep. Leave no loop intact. I’m not a tree hugger or a PETA person, but if a couple of seconds with the knife or scissors keeps a little penguin from a gruesome death, it’s worth it.

Some of the liquor stores around here, when you ask for a 12 pack in the drive-thru they give you two six packs.

I've thrown the holders away before and then I feel guilty and get them out of the trash to cut them up. I think about that commercial with the seagull that has one stuck in its beak and I just can't throw it away without cutting it up.

I'm the same way. Not a tree hugger at all but every time I go to throw one away, I grab the scissors. It all goes back to that commercial on Nickelodeon, I think about that every time I cut one up.

OP:



I don’t see six pack holders anymore.

I guess I’d cut them up if I ran into them in life.

Yep. That commerical made me want to never throw them away without snipping the rings. They showed that bird who couldn't open its mouth.

<<<<< this guy.

Never saw the commercial but I don’t throw any plastics away away without reducing them to their smallest or simplest footprint.


I never saw the commercial, I just hate trash.

I bet most people who saw that commercial do it now. It's burned into our brains.
