    ... Such as paper cups, plates, and bowls or plastic silverware?

    I always have paper plates and cups around my home because they are convenient, as dishes may not always be clean, haha.

    However, my friends think that this is quirky or lazy. :c

    I have some unused plastic cups and plates from previous parties, but I've been saving them. :3

    I use real eating utensils all the time.

    I really don't like to. I mean they give the food the strangest taste, it's a little unappetizing.
    Plastic in general really has a strange taste, so I don't even like to use non-disposable plastic dishes.

    Paper plates and cups I don't mind as much, unless they're low quality ones that the salsa seeps through and gets all over the table. The cups still have a strange taste, but unlike plastic's taste it's actually bearable.

    Since it's hard to do dishes in a college dorm, paper/plastic cups are a lifesaver. I'll occasionally attend an event on campus with plastic cutlery, but I'm more of a finger food person.

    At home, we usually have paper plates for snacks and such, and actual dishes/glasses/silverware otherwise.

    No, never.

    My chopsticks feel like they're disposable because they're the only plastic things in the drawer, but they're not.

    We used to have quite a few, but we used them all up. XD
    Even though my college housing provides us with an apartment, we still continued using disposable utensils (until most of them ran out, and we're too lazy to go buy more).
    I also eat a lot of microwavable food, so that's mainly the reason for me. It just makes it so much easier, and it doesn't dirty up any extra dishes.

    I do when I'm at work in the break room. I like Spaghetti O's, so I need to use a disposable bowl so I can heat it up without making anything explode =u=;;

    We have paper cups. We also have some plastic silverware but we use them whenever someone is sick so they dont use the real silverware.

    We only use them for parties and such, and whatever's leftover, we use until they're gone. For instance, we're still using paper plates from my sister's wedding and plastic cups from Thanksgiving, although we're finally almost out of those.

    Typically, I like washable dishes. Although it means I have to wash them, it doesn't seem as wasteful to me. ._.;

    I'd only use them if I'm out somewhere and have to use plastic cutlery because the real thing isn't available. At home, though, I never use plastic cutlery. Always the real thing. I'm posh like that. xD

    We have paper plates that we use when we don't wanna do dishes (we usually recycle these when we're done), and we wash and reuse the plastic utensils we have, often using them in place of their metallic and wooden counterparts.

    I use them because I live in a dorm room and have no way of washing dishes, but I know it's environmentally irresponsible, so I plan on getting some real dishes when I graduate.

    Recycle you guys.


    I want to have them, I really do. But sadly, my parents just think it's easier to just clean other dishes.
