People are going to look back at single use alkaline cells like we were insane. “You mean they had batteries that would destroy themselves after a single use? And they just threw them in the trash afterwards and kept buying new ones over and over? And they did this despite the fact that the technology for reusable batteries existed???”
Even now there are single use vapes and phone chargers out there. They’re going to think we’re even more insane for that, and rightfully so.

Microplastics, probably. “You had a material that never biodegrades… and you rubbed it against your food?”
