400 Entries for “styrofoam”

  1. I love styrofoam. I see it whenever I buy something new and lovely. It makes me excited, because then I know I’m going to get to have something new. It makes me think of packing peanuts. Because they’re generally made of styrofoam, right? I used to play in them when I was younger. I miss being a child. Childhood full of styrofoam. I’d like another one of those.

  2. i feel like so many things taste like styrofoam. its not that it literally tastes like it, just the idea of it. when something is familiar, in your head anything can remind you of it.. a lot of things remind me of styrofoam.

  3. The styrofoam cup was barely enough to contain the heat from the molten liquid that was the hot chocolate. He knew he had to take a sip or risk insulting her.

  4. My God do i hate styrofoam. Styrofoam attacks me everyday at work. It’s messy, stat-icky, and such a nuisance. It’s gets into everything and clings onto my skin and is such a pain to get off. I really don’t enjoy discovering styrofoam in my bra when i go to take a shower.

  7. The styrofoam from the sky.

  8. White, has lots of little pieces to it. It is a shelter and protector for the things it contains. It’s kind like God, we just trust that it works and will keep us safe from all the bad things that the journey contains. It is special and can be expensive.

  9. Styrofoam is hte bane of our existence. It is quite unnecessary. It is harmful to the world, and yet, we continue to produce many products using this item. It’s amazing that, with all that we have accomplished in the world today, that we still don’t have a cheap, envrionmentally friendly alternative to styrofoam.

  11. i have heard about or just heard the word styro . I ‘m not scientific so I really don’t know the exact meaning of styro . it must come from Greek . it sounds like something is dead like styx someething lilke that. so it is dead foam . How does one manufacture it ? One makes foam with water and deadens it not with a gun but with a scientific gun , one deadens the watery foam , stiffens it into a thick substance and Hey presto this is sstyro foam which can then be made into receptacles for hot liquids as well as cold . it protects the user from being burned by the liquid.

  12. she munches on the edge of her styrofoam cup. What are you doing, her friend raises an eyebrow from across the fastfood table. Marking my stuff, she continues to chew. it’s a restless habit, she doesn’t fight it, her peers needn’t understand.

  13. Styrofoam covers everything: our beaches, our garbage bins, our stomachs. It’s a disgusting material that makes me think of waste and cheapness and capitalism and American economy and how careless most people are with our products. I used to chew styrofoam cups up into tiny bits just to see the pieces stick together. How fucking mindless.

  14. And there it was, the cup that held my life juice. Coffee is comparable to life blood for me. And that styrofoam cup that held it was the most appealing thing in the world at this moment. Coffee. Delicious.

  15. the Styrofoam scaled my flesh as i held it with passion, nothing could make me let go.
    It was life.

  16. so bad for the environment. DO NOT MICROWAVE! it is white and foamy and makes a funny noise when squished. chinese restaurants ALWAYS give you styrofoam to-go boxes.

  17. The cup shook with her hands. Hot coffee spilling over the styrofoam edges. Instantly she put the cup to her lips. Gnawing on the styrofoam and gulping scalding coffee to distract her from the angelic form in front of her.

  18. styrofoam is the funnest stuff to chew on except my mom tells me to spit it out when she catches me.

  19. I like Styrofoam. The cups are particularly fun to play with when your bored. You can chew on the edges and cut the rim off or you can draw/ write on the side of it with any pointed object (though I usually use my fingernail)

  20. There’s a lady who lives in a home,
    Made entirely of styrofoam.
    You think for bricks or wood, she would vote,
    But in tsunamis, it sure can float.

  21. Nothing so protective should be so disposable. Trash upon trash when it’s work is done. We need to find new ways to use it beyond it’s first. Were we to be just as easily tossed away, we might be more understanding.

  22. blobs
    blue
    pink
    broken
    on the beach

  23. But lest I be utterly pessimistic about the stuff, I guess in the right hands it could be kind of kinky…sonically, texturally, all mixed-uppedly…although I still think au natueral is the way to go when it comes to right down to it.

  24. It was triangular, about 60 cm each side and 10 cm deep, , dense, springy and dry.

  25. I love the sound styrofoam makes when you rub on it. It brings back memories of outdoor picnics and events my parents would take to as a kid. Later I used it heavily for beer storage during the college years.

  26. ….bad for your health – among other things. That’s why I drink my cheap, but tasty, French table wine in a glass, on the porch, whilst gazing up at bubbly clouds. They say wine in moderation isn’t bad for the heart either. Guess, it’s the little things in life – but never Styrofoam.

  27. it is a bad subject made from bad things, it is hurting the environment and it should not be made, when put into a dump it will last a very long time therefore hurting our economy and the people with in it. Styrofoam is a plastic subject that does not biodegrade.

  28. i once stayed at my cousin’s for a few weeks. he had chooks. one day i was walking around the yard when i saw that the chooks had taken to pecking at a discarded styrofoam container. needless to say, i didn’t eat any more eggs at my cousin’s house.

  29. Dr. Brody peered into the beaker as the drops filtered in from the spiraling glass tube suspended above him. He sucked in his breath and began to chew on the inside of his cheek as small bubbles began forming in the milky fluid. Suddenly a loud pop surprised him and the beaker exploded with a tiny mushroom cloud in it’s wake. He fell backwards onto his hands and looked up at the table to see a hulking, growing mass of white pellets slurping towards him.

  30. a cooler full of beer but it crumbles and breaks easily the beach sucks.

  31. what the hell is styrofoam? not a native english speaker! i love this though

  32. Have you ever ripped apart styrofoam into the individual little spheres . They stick together from the static and they’re so light that you just blow them away and the wind catches them. It reminds me of how we were once a block of styrofoam but we got ripped apart from something that was much bigger than us. now everything is in a million little pieces and it would be impossible to get those bits of styrofoam back again because they’re gone in the wind; like you.

  33. scratchy awkward thick annoying bad for environment portland banned it landfills food chinese mexican food little popcorn pieces

  34. ew! styrofoam, how you tease me with your foamy feel and squishy texture. i’m not going to lie, i really don’t like you. you kinda freak me out a little bit. i’m working on it though. my mom said i should be nice to everyone. i’m beginning to not believe in that way of seeing things anymore!

  38. i was going through all my boxes one night and just saw a giant box of styrofoam. Without any hesitation I threw it out. Then it hit me. I love to eat styrofoam. It’s a terrible habbit. Thats why it was all locked up in that box. I had an addiction to it five years ago. I picked it up from the trash and was so close to eating it, but I put it down in pure bliss. I threw out the trash and if said hello to the grungy garbage man. My addiction was officially gone.

  39. Styrofoam never breaks down. It gets smaller, but never goes back to anything natural. Half of the trash in the Pacific Garbage patch is sturofoam. It’s fucking sick. I hate it. We could easily replace it with paper. Paper breaks down. Fuck styrofoam.

    I wish everything was made of non-shitty substances.

  40. She squeezed the soft foam between her toes and fingers, delighting in the childish sensation, the rush of memories of opening new toys on Christmas morning. She loved the smell, plastic and new, which brought rushing back memories of all good things being wrapped in this wonderful modern invention.
