How can a student like me eat Weetabix every day?
 
Normally I have a couple of breakfast bars in the morning (Nutrigrain
etc.)

I hate washing up.

I obviously can't use paper plates (the milk would fall out)


Are there any disposable (and cheap) containers I can use to have my
weetabix+milk every day?

It may be a bland breakfast, but it definately keeps me full.


I can't rely on the sink in my student place (things go missing in a
shared kitchen, hygiene reasons etc.)



If you think this question is dumb, i'm a bit of a stoner & I can't
think straight all the time.

Eat weetabix, drink milk from carton - problem solved.

If it seems "not right", roll up another Camberwell and you won't care.

You are a *student*? Of what? Some ology, presumably. Paper plates
would leak, so use some other form of disposable plate. I use
polystyrene bowls for my cats, because I hate washing dirty, smelly cat
plates and bowls. Buy 'em in bulk from Costco.

So you prefer to fill landfill sites with un-degradable s***e? Why not kill

Probably the same stuff, if they have been used they will have more

Could be tricky to determine which it is if Weetabix is the other choice.

Trade off between washing up liquid down the drain and into the oceans,
plus the heat for the water, against resources to make paper plates.

You know, few people actually enjoy washing up, it's one of the things we
have to do to maintain an acceptable standard of living. I bet your mum did
it for you for the first however many years of your life. She did far worse
things for you too. You have perhaps another 60 years ahead of you, have you
worked out how you'll spend them without washing up?

I obviously can't use paper plates (the milk would fall out)


You don't need a plate for Nutrigrain bars.


Are there any disposable (and cheap) containers I can use to have my
weetabix+milk every day?


Why disposable?

Do you use disposable containers for your other meals?

It may be a bland breakfast, but it definately keeps me full.


It takes all sorts ...


I can't rely on the sink in my student place (things go missing in a
shared kitchen, hygiene reasons etc.)


Excuses! You admitted that you hate washing up.

Go to a camping shop, buy a cheap metal dish, get the technology dept to
drill a hole in the rim and put a cord through it, you can then keep it
attached to your person. Lick it clean after your breakfast then you won't
need the sink.

Hygiene? You're a STUDENT for goodness' sake, you're not supposed to care
about hygiene!



If you think this question is dumb, i'm a bit of a stoner & I can't
think straight all the time.


Give it up then you won't be asking dumb questions. If you can't think
straight about something as simple as breakfast you won't deserve your
degree - although you'll probably get it in Our Glorious Leader's education
aspirational world.

Which makes me wonder - the other 50% must get put on the scrap heap ...

You eat cake in the morning and can't be bothered washing a few dishes.

Can I suggest you get ONE universal bowl. That way you wash it either
before or after each use and dishes don't pile up. Spoken by a true
bachelor. ;)

I've got a friend who just keeps on using a new coffee mug every time.
His main room is like a carpet of coffee mugs. I think he might be on
this group too.......

Oh yeah... And don't do this......

Bringing together two stands of this thread, get a cat.

Each morning
pick cereal bowl up off surface
fill with weetabix and milk
eat weetabix
put the bowl down on surface
go out
cat will lick the bowl clean

But you could eat them - that would remove the problem of having to wash
up and be just as nutritious as weetabix


Are there any disposable (and cheap) containers I can use to have my

OK - buy 1000 plastic bags put your weetabix in and then your milk

mush it up, then cut a hole in the corner - pretend you're an astronaut
