The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

    Other than just flossing with string, is there a good reusable floss holder?

    Some people may have motor limitations that make flossing difficult. Or just find it gross

      My ADHD effectively does not allow me to floss regularly with standalone floss. It’s either those or I’ll do it maybe once a month.

      This one has a reusable handle, it’s just the little C shaped piece of plastic that the floss stretches across that is disposable. I’m sure it’s not ideal, but I can get several uses out of each one before changing the floss. I just rinse it in hydrogen peroxide when I’m done. https://www.amazon.com/Listerine-ULTRACLEAN-Flosser-Refills-Flavored/dp/B00PG59X2K/

      Looking for a link to the one above, I found this one, which seems to replace the floss each time with a pretty nicely engineered system, I haven’t tried it though. https://www.orthomechanic.com/easy-flosser/ After watching the video I feel like I would drool into the floss spool compartment and or get it wet when rinsing the thing.

      Some people are helped by tying the floss into a loop. One of the least fiddly ways to do so, when dexterity is an issue, is a stevedore bend with a few extra twists—that is, taking both ends together and tying a stevedore stopper with them. It’s not a particularly good bend because it can jam but it’s super easy to tie quickly and can overcome something as slippery as some floss brands.
