Very interesting... reading this makes it hard to belive that this is the norm today! Thanks for sharing
The 70s and 80s were a time of excess where excess was affordable and convenience trumped everything.
Paralleling the "Ecology" movement of the 70s was the "Me first" movement of the latter half of the baby boom and the beginnings of "Generation-X"
The culture was summed up quite nicely with the differences between the family members in the show "Family Ties"

i think its funny that they like to mention its nonbiodegradable. that would be a huge red flag in todays news
It was a red flag here too. The whole article was written as a tongue-in-cheek rant.
That was a fun read . . . interesting, though, is how Gillette's premium "shaving systems" continued to evolve into the multi-bladed vibrating goobers that they are today, with replacement carts priced out of sight, while they still sell quite a fist full of disposables. Gillette's profitability on the disposable must be satisfactory, at best, or they would have thrown it away years ago!
Ya... quite the opposite.
Costco is selling Mach-3 disposables.
The unit cost is less than Mach-3 carts!
