Hopefully, single use plastics would be a ridiculous thing in the future, maybe they will look back at it like we look back at asbestos.

Here is a funny asbestos ad from the past

God, I wonder how many people got those and used them regularly who are now having issues because of them?

Probably not many. Asbestos is bad when it gets into the air. If it's within an oven mitt, even if cut, how would it get into the air?

I'm pretty sure they put asbestos in basically anything back in the day.
