Q: Imagine you are getting carry-out to take home for dinner. When you get home, you notice the restaurant included some plastic forks with your meal that you did not ask for. What do you do with the forks?

 

“To be honest, I’d probably trash them.”

Salome Bacoeur, 21

“I’d probably put them in the silverware drawer in case I want them for another time.”

Nick Gronos, 19

“I”d probably just recycle them. That’s typically what I do when I get Chinese food or something.”

Wesley Bostwick, 23
History

 

“Usually, I’ll just put them in the drawer. My mom will take them to work or I’ll take them to school if we need it.”

Jocelyn Champagne, 20

“There’s this one purple Solo cup I have in my pantry for some reason… I usually keep plastic forks in there for setting up parties. I don’t have to spend as much for a party if I have disposable ones.”

Darren Willacker, 20

“I eat with the plastic forks. I won’t have to use mine, so I don’t have to wash dishes.”

William Allen, 20
