Cool to know...although my boxes were just paper and cardboard waste, which I left at the LCBO pick up store for them to deal with.instantkamera wrote:They are biodegradable, people. Toss them in the compost and spray them down with water - watch them melt away.
Polystyrene takes 500 years to biodegrade. Some packing peanuts are not made out of polystyrene, but I'm not sure how to tell them apart.instantkamera wrote:They are biodegradable, people. Toss them in the compost and spray them down with water - watch them melt away.
Did you previously get a "shipped" confirmation or just an order confirmation after purchase?ckoop wrote:Son of a bitch. Just got a order cancelled email from the stupid lcbo for my a&g order. I hate them so much. How do you have inventory, take the order and then realize you don't have enough. Oh well, saves me some money at least.

LCBO uses a grain starch based peanut; they are basically a flavourless cheesie.instantkamera wrote:Toss them in the compost and spray them down with water - watch them melt away.
It's altogether likely that the flavouring packet is the least healthy of the two components, so by all means ...Craig wrote:So, in theory, would it be cheaper to order a package of cheesie flavouring and mix it with the packing peanuts than to order cheesies?
It was just an order confirmation, not a shipping confirmation. But, one the plus side, a lcbo guy just contacted me via phone to apologize saying the web site listed more product than was actually available which caused the problem. He said I could lock down a case of kriek now though to replace the a&g, so not too bad since I'd rather have that anyway!rfrf wrote:Did you previously get a "shipped" confirmation or just an order confirmation after purchase?ckoop wrote:Son of a bitch.
