Reddit reviews Alstertor Beer Mug Mustard 8.45 Oz (Pack of 2)

>Why does there have to be "a war" against everything?

It is being overused... But the general original concept goes as follows:

>When a "war" is declared on something, it means that the protagonists will not accept a negotiated settlement and that only the accomplishment of their goal will be an acceptable outcome.

This is a bit like when the Germans wanted to reach out to the Allies in the final days of the Second World War under the delusion that the Allies would accept a negotiated end of the war in order to save the lives of their soldiers. That didn't work as the Allies would only accept an unconditional surrender... The Allies were "at war" with Nazi Germany and would not settle for anything else than complete victory and the destruction of the Nazi apparatus.

But the "war" on drugs that aimed to eliminate all illegal drugs with no exception has failed, with pot legalization making huge headway lately, we can see that wars can also be lost.

A "war" on single use plastic though is winnable through the complete elimination of those through a replacement scheme with new (and old) technologies and containers that are more respectful of the environment.

No so long ago, crackers at the grocery store came in thin cardboard boxes with bags made of waxed paper.

Meats were cut in front of the customers and were wrapped in reddish waxed paper.

All liquides were contained in glass bottles and some mustard and other condiments were sold in glass containers that doubled as mugs and drinking glasses once empty and cleaned.

So even if the term "war on something" is overused and has lost much of its meaning, it still conveys an idea of unshakable determination.

I know what I am ordering next on Amazon.
