LOL, Poet, I guess you really can't see yourself using the great alternative to paper made of tree wood...

I haven't seen or had a chance to touch elephant poo paper...but I've heard that it is soft like LONGCAT mentioned.

There are many uses for plastic takeaway containers but I think in our family they're pretty much used as an alternative to tupperware...to put foods that need to be frozen or in the fridge...they're small, yet can hold heaps for their size, they're stackable and once they break getting a new one is as easy as buying takeaway or Asian grocery supermarket meals...which come in the same containers.
