Those weird destructosinks for people with too much money are apparently common in America.

If I pour it into the trash can, it will be heavy, be likely to leak and make a mess, and stink. And yet I can\u2019t pour it down the drain, because the little pieces of food will get stuck and clog it.</p>\n<p>(My actual solution in this scenario was to pour it into the trash bag, immediately take it outside to the outdoor trash can, and replace the bag, wasting almost a whole bag.)</p>\n<p>Also, just in general, food waste stinks.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>\u2026</p>\n\n<p>I just had a thought that is brilliant yet triggers <em>all</em> of my purity/disgust intuition:</p>\n\n<p>Pour it down the toilet.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Yes, your toilet drain is specifically intended to receive chunky organic waste</p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s a little menacing, but the disposal isn\u2019t a demon, it won\u2019t eat you if you don\u2019t turn on the switch, if you\u2019re super-paranoid you can unplug it before you stick your hand in</p>\n\n<p>Honestly it\u2019s more often a bother that it <i>doesn\u2019t</i> grind something and you have to stick a hex key in the bottom to cycle it manually</p>"}
